    Entirely useless content?

    As I continue to level multiple alt classes I've come to realize how much of the content in this game is being completely wasted. Guildhests and Trials are my two biggest annoyances here. Guildhests are only good the first time you run them on each class. Even the roulette bonus for them is a joke. Why bother having them then? They are fun, short and simple, I would run them over and over again just like I do the low level dungeons if they gave a decent reward. Same gripe for Trials, they were only good for the initial turn in and now the Trial roulette. I ran Titan the other day thinking it would give me the last few thousand xp I needed to level and it gave me 300. 300?! Why? Have trials and guildhests give as much xp as say, a fate of an equal level, and people would run them all the time. It would give more options to people leveling alts and make it easier for new players to get groups for these things.

    I say getting a trial for leveling roulette. I don't know if they changed this, but I remember when I was leveling a dps job I would wait a long time for leveling roulette to pop and once I got into the instance I would be greeted by a normal mode primal trial. I waited like 30mins for a trial!?! And once I completed the trial I barely got any extra xp because there is no trash only the boss.

    Always fun on the first day, you run Expert and Lv60 roulette. And then switch over to another class for leveling and roulette challenge bonus at the same time. Only to be greeted by Garuda. And then you have to run level roulette again or the challenge XP will go to waste.

    Yeah. I cannot count how many times I'd get Ifrit (storymode) in both leveling and trial roulettes and I'm like "Well, there's no point in wasting a food buff because I'm lucky to get a couple hundred xp."

    I LIKE the fence. I get 2 groups to laugh at then.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the roulette bonus much higher in these cases (and low level dungeons) to compensate?

    Yes it is. The exp from the trial itself is pitiful, but the daily roulette bonus gives quite a bit, especially considering it only took 5-7 minutes in most cases.

    there are many reasons to do combat leves, like achievements/selling quest reward items with 50k + etc.

    I love combat leves. It lets me solo level, and increasing the challenge helps me learn to better utilize the skills that i have as i learn the job, all of this without having to wait on a queue or even commit to a duty. Start a level, spend 5 minutes on it, take a break and do something around the house. There are more people doing combat leves than you probably think.

    I can see why it would be nice to get more rewards for the roulette for Guildhests but they are very short and typically simple, so while a straight xp increase would help it wouldn't make sense to have them be worth too much individually that way. Maybe something that stacks? Say, each extra one you do within 20 or 30 minutes of the first one gives a % increase in reward. Do 10-12 in a row and end up with something pretty decent. Kind of like, oh what's it called, oh yeah, chain xp for mobs. This chain/stacking buff could be good once per day.
