If spended the last week in dutyfinder ruda EX runs (and have at least sneaked into other ex-primals via df) and I dont really believe that an ex-trail-roulette would be a good idea - even though I'd still like to see one (also, dont know much about gamedesign/programming but it cant be to hard to just add another roulette, right?).
...but well - Garuda is considered the easist Ex-primal and can be killed in like 5-10mins... with those df-groups I easly spended 30+ in it and it normally took us 5+ attemtepts to kill her because people kept doing stupid mistakes ("Oh, someone marked an enemy with an ignore-sign... what to do... what to do... LETS KILL IT!"). I've seen people standing in tornados (even though I'm putting waymarks down each time and give a brief reminder who stands who) and had to argue with a caster once why he should be one B after he got killed by Suprana&Garuda two times because he came over to cuddle. I've seen Shiva parties which couldnt pass adds, people getting killed by dives in Levi, not even reaching adds in Ramuh and dps confusing GKMM HM&EX and rushing to kill the blm as soon as they've spotted him (and keep doing so after three explantions and an ignore-sign above the blms head) - I havent tried Titan or Ifrit (for obvious reasons and because I dont like them as much as I like the rest). Even if people have gotten the clear once (I agree: you should only have access to the roulette after you've beaten all of them) its still awesome to see how much they're failing. I know that there are people getting there clears&wins in df... and like I said: So did I... but it wasnt that much fun most of the time. If they add something like that: Please, allow preformed parties!
I suppose that the idea behind the trial roulette was to make sure new players would get full parties on storyfights because there was no reason (except for some rare drops and, well, outdated weapons... and maybe some cool fights in itself) to go back to those trials - but thanks to light we're spamming them now over and over again!
