    I don't like it, because it's something I feel I have to do as opposed to something I want to do.

    This is an extension of the tomestone problem itself - it's a repetitive and stale progression mechanic.

    I mostly play WAR and SCH, so I never have issues with queuetimes, but still - I have no interest in running <insert dungeon here> for the fiftieth time, and calling it "Expert Roulette" hints at some actual skill being required, which is laughable.

    No. I have long wished they abandoned it and just merged all 60 dungeons into one daily or allow you to run it twice. Hell, toss Nidhogg, Weeping City and maybe a few others in there to add some variety. Two dungeons gets incredibly tedious, which is why I tend to queue separately for Weeping or other dungeons. Sure, it takes a little longer top cap, but it isn't Hullbreaker!

    I say... despite having to spam like eight Hullbreakers in a row because I kept forgetting to cap earlier in the week.

    I don't have a reason to do Expert roulette every day since I have capped gear on my main (aside from second ring stuck at 230). The Maelstrom dungeon bores me to tears and the other one is... decent, I guess. I'm not gonna queue for a roulette if neither of the dungeons are fun or even visually appealing. =/

    I wish they'd just have Expert there for a couple weeks and then combine Expert dungeons+the rewards with the level 60 roulette. Or give us an alternative reward for doing the Expert roulette when the current tomestone has been capped... at least... Really can't feel motivated to slog through Hullbreaker half the time when there's hardly any daily reward.

    The only thing I like about it is that it gives me something I can regularly do with FC friends.

    We have fun and joke a lot when doing roulette runs. Not just expert, but any of them.

    I don't mind expert, but I really wish they'd stop limiting it to only two dungeons now - both get boring and tedious after a while, especially if your rng throws you in the same dungeon every single day... Even just pushing it up to 3 possible dungeons for the roulette would eliminate some of that boredom for me.

    I should make it clear that I'm not really advocating the removal of expert roulette, even though I don't actually enjoy it. I'd prefer other alternatives to be equally as lucrative, though, instead of having to run triple the amount of other content to equal one expert roulette.

    I'm glad to see that there are lots of people who like it, though.

    4mans are only ever fun the first time since they're exactly the same every time after that. Roulette is more like a coin flip since there's only 2 expert dungeons, so no real variety. It's basically just a means to an end, when you do a roulette you just turn your brain off and wait for it to be over. The only time when dungeons were fun was WP HM and Brayflox HM since people were trying to compete for clear times, but then they decided every room should have a gate so that became pointless.

    Would rather it actually require some expertise. But, I'm so sick of PotD this point that I'll do it to cap tomes, sure.

    Not sure why the level 60 roulette has such reduced rewards when the difficulty is basically the same, though.

    It was the primary accepted way to get rewards that's why. Expect some adjustments at some point as more things get introduced, or if activity is suffering, but most likely in the form of nerfing the rewards from the more popular option rather than buffing the others.

    id rather not, that would kinda kill the reason to have new content,
