I covered this kind of thing in my original reply, but I'll reiterate: this would result in players dropping the group the instant that they realized there was a brand new player and they wouldn't be able to skip.

I can't remember, does doing it solo give the same rewards as the Roulette? If so you would want to avoid this, because this would discourage players from doing the actual Roulette, which exists to make sure there are groups for players looking to do the content with a group.

Players will always try to game the system, so you need to create a system they can't game.
