Roulettes need better rewards

[Catwho]

There is a critical shortage of assistance in lower level dungeons and trials right now.

Simply put, people are capping their poetics entirely via the Expert roulette (for the Alexandrite quest) and then spamming WoD runs because they're after a specific piece of gear for a specific job and the drop rates are so very sad. (I've yet to see the bard body. I ran WoD eight times last week just for bard legs...)

This means that we're losing the expertise of the higher levels, leaving the newer barely 50 folks to fend for themselves. Queue times have exploded for all jobs for specific lower level dungeons, even tanks and healers.

I rolled into Trials Roulette last night because I'd hit iLvl 120 bard and I wanted to take it for a spin. I ended up with a group of people literally half my ilvl who were in there for the very first time.

I'm glad I was there to explain a few nuances they couldn't get from the guides (nail kill order, where to stand to avoid people running from plumes, etc) but I should not have been the only veteran in a Duty Finder run.

Proposal: Give a different type of reward for High Level and Trials roulettes once you've capped poetics for the week. Alexandrite, allied seals, or maybe even bump up the poetics cap for these roulettes only. Or add in some unique bonus for roulettes.

It's unsustainable as it is, and it's only going to get worse until the weekly gear lockout on WoD is removed.

TL;DR players are skipping trials roulette and high level dungeon roulette because they don't need the poetics bonus.
