Frequently tanks pull more than they can chew and healers--especially sprouts--can't keep up.

I think there's an assumption that multi-player content won't be played unless there are strong incentives for jaded players. If roulettes didn't offer the same rewards--maybe even no exp or item rewards--I think queue times still wouldn't be too bad. Many players, myself included, just like to have a pleasant experience with other players--even if it means that we clear a dungeon in 22 minutes instead of 18 minutes. That said, I like the new Duty Support system, and I think it would be great to integrate it other players that want to play the game, while filling empty roles with Duty Support. (Endgame is obviously a different beast.)

In any case, 2c from a veteran-noob.
You can make your own group if you want to go in roulettes at a snail pace.

Also if you think people will do roulettes with absolutely no reward whatsoever, really ? Lol
