    Primal duty roulette is not random

    Why is it not random? All I ever get is Ifrit, Garuda, Titan. And tbh, I'm getting sick of them. Sometimes there is Mog, on even rarer occasions I get a Hydra or Chimera but it rarely ever happens either.
    Well, what about the rest? There are still

    -Gilgamesh
    -Leviathan
    -Ramuh

    I've never got any of them on DR. Are they even in it?

    DR assigns you to the Trial that requires more people, meaning that if there's a lot of people running the first 3 primals you'll end up in those

    Simple reason, no people queuing for Gilga, Levi and Ramuh.

    Purpose of roulette: Assign roulette players to help those who queue for specified ones (most of the time). It's just that people queue for Ifrit, Garuda and Titan because they want the loot while the others is mostly for story which doesn't really needed to get repeated.

    You are not getting the other three simply because maybe there are no players queuing for them.

    Shortly after Primal Roulette (and, coincidentally, Levi and Greg) was released, it was nothing but Levi and Greg because that's what people were queuing for. Once you've done those, there's no reward for doing them again outside of roulette, so of course they're not showing up much anymore.

    10 posts per page is only the default setting; it is bad, and you should feel bad if you haven't changed it.

    And people don't do Levi, ramuh, Gilgamesh more then once. But people do Titan, ifrit and Garuda for relics and their drops.

    This also applies all the other roulettes. They are only random if you happen to get matched up with 3 (7) other people who also have all the choices unlocked and have chosen roulette...which is rather unlikely unless you Light Party'd up for the High/Expert one. Otherwise, you're simply being folded into the queue with a "I'll do anything" kinda ticket, and whatever instance happens to be next in line, that's your duty.

    It's working exactly as intended and is necessary, because if it wasn't this way, the new people who actually need Ramuh, Leviathan and Gilgamesh would be waiting hours. Kind of like how Cape Westwind used to take ages for people to complete.

    Maybe they should give levi, ramuh, and gilgamesh some reason to get queued more then once.

    And right after Ramuh was released, I was getting that often. So, yeah, you get what people queue for. And since people leveling alts are still likely to get relics, that means the first three get queued for more than the last three do.
