    Think critically when this is the response I get? You do understand how Russian roulette works right? 1:6 to get shot, so removing the one means no possibility of being shot, no roulette.

    Um, you do know that Russion Roulette is a very specific type of roulette, right? And not even limited to 1 bullet depending on how daring you want to be lol. There are also things like roulette boards and wheels that are full of options you can land on and blocking out a few of those options does not necessarily make it less of a roulette.

    So, yes, thank you for providing proof that critical thinking is important.

    So you'd take significantly less rewards like said roulette tables? That would be perfectly fine. Remove 3 duties from the que, reduce rewards by half.

    What is the reasoning behind this?

    I brought up a roulette where the odds really don't give a different reward tier when played at different odds. Roulette wheels and other games of chance run by most establishments will definitely reduce rewards by reducing risk. Seems fair in a roulette to remove rewards to make the odds in your favor, no?

    The games are designed to make money so they must be adjusted according to chance. This doesn't apply to duty roulette so I don't see a reason follow the same rules in FF14.

    You seem adamant about making people NOT want to run roulettes by making it as miserable a process as possible for some reason. Someone removing Crystal Tower (that's 3 after all) shouldn't be punished for wanting to do the others instead when that's still over a dozen other alliance raids they could be helping to fill, including PITA ones like Ivalice and Nier.

    But then I see you're on Aether and play healer, so of course you don't care if a bunch of people stop queuing up/get denied rewards because you'll never be negatively affected anyway. Typical.
