The Thing I Hate The Most

[SnowVix]

I just wish the 5/6/7/8 roulette gave better xp. It's trash.

its purpose isn't XP, it's poetics

[TheMightyMollusk]

I just wish it had a less clunky name.

Hate ... hmm. Old beast tribes and fetch quest aka the "kill me 5 rats - oh you did, gg and all that. Now bring me 3 hides of rat moms because you the hero an actual warmachine and an one man army need to kill rodents and after that will deliver a letter to my grandma for reasons that or so special i dont even explain them to you". This game has already a lot of quest with a lot to read but this is "aaaaarrrrgghh" to me.

Why do you hate sprouts?

[RyuDragnier]

There's a way to fix it, but you won't like it.

To que for a roulette, you have to have ilvl min to be in anything in the roulette.
When you complete an expansion, every dungeon, raid, and trial unlocks automatically. (Not quest completion, just auto unlock).

They could just make it so in order to enter the alliance roulette, you have to meet the ilvl of the content you already have unlocked and can enter. So if you're level 60+ and haven't unlocked Void Ark yet, you just need the ilvl to enter CT. If you are level 70, skipped Void Ark, but have Ivalice unlocked, you MUST have the necessary ilvl to enter Ivalice on that job in order to enter Alliance roulette. This makes cheesing to get only CT impossible unless you skipped every other alliance raid in the game, while also prevents it from blockading players who haven't unlocked the content yet.

As was already said, they're partially about helping others - particularly new players.

If you've played it before you probably know the mechanics and have an idea of what to expect. That can be communicated to the Sprouts in the team who've never done it before, particularly the Sprouts who outright say "I'm new".

And the reward for participation is certainly of benefit too.

I tend to get a lot of satisfaction from helping newer players have a good time, and players in general. It's akin to the same principle I apply in life...if I can make someone smile or make their day a little less shitty, it was worth getting up that morning.

I'd agree with you, if you didn't get more poetics from a roulette that gives fantastic xp.

Bold of you you to assume a lot of people bothered unlocking the other raids.

The old ones suck. Ivalice, in particular, sucks hardcore. It's a wipefest, and not something I enjoy wasting my time with, and WILL leave if it pops.

"Ivalice sucks".

Opinion discarded. Ivalice raids are nowhere the wipefest you try to sell us it is.
