    Personally, I don't see how it is encouraging any more participanting if pre-made team can do roulette. I start doing my tank class and queue with my friend as DPS so that she won't be queue forever. We queue for dungeon via DF (non-roulette). Because we don't get the roulette bonus, so it will take more dungeon run for us to level up. As a result it makes me go into dungeon more often as a tank and fill this "much needed" role for other people.

    I don't see there is an issue with the current roulette implementation either. I think the exp bonus is there for those who has courage to let themselves to go in a random party without knowing anyone prior. It is BONUS, but not a given. People who doesn't have this patience with other people and lacking social skill can work harder to get the same experience. You can always have pre-made team to dungeon There is nothing in the game that stop you from playing with people you know, but you just can't level as fast.

    If making pre-made groups had a bonus, you can be sure that people would stop using DF and start going with their friends and FC mates more often, and -THAT- is a good thing. We are in an MMORPG as far as I know.
    I don't understand why a bonus should be such a hard thing to achieve "because you're in a premade": don't you want people to group up? Give bonuses for premades and PF groups will skyrocket, because on top of being convenient you might actually get better groups -yes, actual good groups- while as of now whether you make a premade or not there's LITERALLY no difference (talking about expert roulette of course), aside from the occasional bad group that can be a major turn off for some.

    Do we really want to level up alone faster, and slower in groups? Because, as of now, this game is very good at that, and with how things go it's most likely that player will just play alone. Nothing changes afterall.

    PS: This also applies for Fate Grinding because even those don't give you any bonuses for being a group, aside having a higher chance of gold medal. If that's enough for you, fair enough.

    Well, I'm fairly new to the game so go easy on me but I thought the bonus was for helping newer players by running those low level instances and helping them complete their story-line.
    Also, it's the possibility of running into players who lack patience and social skills that keeps me from using the Roulette while I'm on my own. I have friends who do pug and the stories they tell are not encouraging.

    I wouldn't mind a decreased bonus or a limit on the number of people we could queue with but I still think this would be a useful option to have.
