    The problem(s) with low level roulette (or any specific roulette) is that that's not necessarily where any particular subset of players are when another subset "needs" them. If someone new to Ifrit HM is stuck waiting in queue, while loads of experienced players are grinding through Haukke HM or Sastasha SM together (again), that kinda sucks.

    Throwing every possible duty into one roulette cuts down on that problem a good deal. Mostly cuts down on new players waiting for experienced players to join the specific roulette they need.

    And to cut down on possible trolls, I still like the idea of giving the new player a pop-up asking if the party was helpful; if yes, bonus tomes, if no, fewer (or no) tomes.

    That is because your new player is queue for a content linked to trial roulette, while your experienced group are in content linked to low level roulette and high level roulette.

    I know. Which is why, if they created the roulette the OP suggests, that lets us roulette into any duty, that problem would be at least slightly alleviated.
