SE Please let us pick our roulette rewards!

[Purrfectstorm]

I was just over on the PvP forums venting about getting tomes for a PvP roulette bonus when it hit me, why can't we CHOOSE what we get for a roulette bonus? When we do a roulette we might get an option for:

- Gil
- Tomes
- PvP Exp
- Battle Exp
- Wolf Marks
- GC Seals
- Allied Seals

We select it when we queue and then get that bonus upon completion. Know what might happen? "Hey I need a lot of PvP exp, I'll queue for main story (otherwise would've ignored it but now I might help new players through it)" or "I'm capped on tomes but I sure could use some extra Allied Seals (or whatever)."

Yes you would then have people getting "prizes" for going on different "rides" but those rides would be something players would enjoy and you'd give them a motivation to ride on more of them per day.

Another idea would be to get rid of all these different currencies (it's getting a little crazy: 2 types of tomes, 2 types of seals, Wolf Marks, gil, a million types of turn-in items for crafting/gathering/primal weapons).

I like the first idea better but I'm for any idea that gives me a reason to play more and let's me have more fun while doing it.

Thanks

I'd have to say no to Allied seals, since I'm fairly certain those are still entirely tied to the hunt system.

I think if SE made it so that the adventurer in need got to choose what you suggested than that would make it much more enticing and could help with queue times, throwing that out to everyone else might be kind of meh.

Still an interesting idea.

Gil, tomes, class exp, gc seals I'm fine being interchange-able with but the rest is a bit iffy. Makes zero sense to get pvp exp from doing pve content. If the rewards are too univerally interchange-able, it will kill some roulette type's participation rate which is the opposite of what SE (and some players would want).

+1 Let me trade all that senseless exp for low level roulette and turn it into an equivalent amount of gil,and I'll happily queue up.

I could see not necessarily doing pvp exp or allied seals (although I'd still love it if they did).

I like the idea about the adventurer in need bonus. In general I think the reward bonuses need to be somewhat revamped anyway. You can get way more in a lot less time doing other activities. As a tank, for example, I often benefit from the adventurer in need bonus and appreciate it whenever I get it but it's not enough to make me run a roulette specifically for the bonus. Since it's my understanding the bonus is to get more people (and the right roles) into the queues, I don't think it's working as well as it could be with higher rewards (the kind that would encourage you to do the roulette just for the bonus, even if you weren't going to run it for some other reason).

Let's say SE added GC seals as an option to low level roulette, a couple of hundred seals would not be a very good reward. Low level duties usually take 15-20 min (more with new people or people that leave in the middle). In that same about of time you could earn 4k-8k seals from leves or some other activity. So I'd say 4k seals would have to be the baseline. Gil varies more widely. I can easily make 100k in 20 min but I wouldn't expect SE to give out that much for a bonus. However, 5k or something is too low. Something in between would be nice (I'm thinking 20k maybe or even 30k - it would be once a day, like gathering maps).

I disagree with this idea, let the devs decide the rewards. All of the things you mentioned, with the exception of pvp exp, are pretty easy to get via other means outside of roulette anyways. If pvp exp was too easy to get then people would get to max rank faster and there would be less incentive to actually pvp.

At the very least give a PvP xp bonus to FL roulette then. Why isn't that a thing already?!

I'd also be okay with them adding the ability to get Ventures as rewards for doing roulettes if they won't do GC Seals.

I always need Ventures but I find it super tedious grinding seals just to exchange them for another currency for another system.

Omg yes please to the allied seals T-T those weapons are so expensive (1740 seals, wut?), and if I can't do A/S marks because of my connection, I'm relegated to make only 64 seals a day plus the 100 weekly... it's just so bad!
