What are we gonna do if there aren't enough people for Instances anymore?

[Huntington]

Just a random question, if there aren't people to do other dungeons with or to make progress in Coil or otherwise because everyone is already with someone else or just no one is playing, won't this game die harder than the Dinosaurs?

[Jakeson]

I don't think that's something you have to worry about for a very, very long time.

[Gormogon]

No because it doesn't happen in other games.

You have to take incentive, shout, party finder, duty finder, etc.

The natural progression will lead to soloable versions of instances. Of course, not having enough players to go around won't happen for quite a long time (hopefully).

I don't think SE wants to put themselves in the position where players have to rely on people solely from their own server just to progress in-game. That hits a little too close to FFXI for some people's tastes.

Besides content where you would still need other people. Hoping the roulette gives you the Primals to get a Relic weapon is praying to the RNG gods much too hard for my liking.

The player seeking certain content wouldn't choose roulette. Other players do. Players in the roulette join the instance being sought by a certain player.

You're still having to hope it does them in the order you need, since you have to do Ifrit, Garuda, then Titan. If it keeps giving you Ifrit and Titan, and I've not once gotten Garuda for my Trials roulette for two months now, you're screwed. Want to do a dungeon as a DPS? You better hope you know someone. The only things you can do solo are Leves, some FATEs, Beast Tribes, and some story content. Later on, you can't progress the story without at least 8 people for most things. This is going to make doing anything impossible. Basing the system that determines how you do most of the game's content is a terrible idea because it assumes that there's always going to be thousands of people using it.

You don't seem to understand, When you Que for Garuda the empty spots are often filled by people in the duty roulette. The party is first filled with everyone queing for that exact instance and then it's filled in with duty roulette people. So you just need to que for ifrit as normal then gaurda then titan. The only reason some of the trials ever come up in roulette is when someone with no one to help them ques for them, ie chimera and hydra.

SE will just keep adding the next tomestones (or whatever currency) to the roulette daily rewards to keep people doing them. If drops lower, then they will probably add higher incentives. aka more gil.
