    It is funny to have 4 max levels get stuck in Sastasha, though, you have to admit. I doubt it's deliberate on their part but it has happened to me a couple times.

That's what I did to dodge Stormblood and Shadowbringers dungeons/trials/raids, which I'm sure wasn't helping any new players back when I was still on Dynamis and they only needed one more warm body to turn their 20+ minute queue into a "less than 5 minute one". I only show up for MSQ/Frontlines/Guildhests anymore, and I only do that last one 10 times before calling it a week, and frequently talk myself out of doing the MSQ one after all these DDoS started.

    The roulette bonus isn't worth the hassle of doing content I don't find fun (or in some cases, it's not even doable for me when synced), and I'm not obligated to show up so other people can get stuff done. Not that my presence is warranted if I'm struggling on Normal content post-HW. They'd be better off waiting anyway.

    The worst that happens is that I'm more reliant on society quests/masked carnival/wondrous tails/PVP for poetics, but they're only being funneled into HW relics right now, and I can't even use the other kinds of tomestones because I can't access the vendors that use them so they remain capped/future ones go to waste.
    I mean, I wasn't really talking about whether or not the content was fun or worth doing. At this point, I'm kind of inclined to agree it really isn't, and I don't normally do roulettes myself because I don't find them all that enjoyable. I just know it'd be awful for the game long-term if CS3 gave people the ability to blacklist and they started blacklisting ARR dungeons or Crystal Tower, not to mention it would make grinding Mogtomes a little more rewarding than it should be. The roulette rewards are for you contributing to the community and putting the MM in MMORPG, not for simply completing old content.

    I might be fine with it if they get rid of all of the normal tomestone rewards and just offer people 10-30 poetics if they blacklist anything.
