    Based on what actually happens when DF roulettes go bad, there's simply no way to gate it, and all content gates would accomplish is needlessly annoying people.

    Will a content gate stop the healer I had in Sohm Al who let me die three times because they were in FC chat and forgot to heal? They had the gear/quest checks done, and played like crap.

    Will a content gate make the family of one of my DPS in Baelsar's not bug her while she is doing a dungeon run? (We finished and she pulled through, but let's say we had a few rough patches)

    And this one is something I know well as a tank...will a content gate fix everyone needing at least one or two runs through a dungeon before becoming remotely proficient at it? Yeah, because my first time running Baelsar's I was perfect...NOT. On the final boss, my team could have reasonably wondered if I was trying to get hit with every single Sanguine Blade AE, as if there is an achievement for it. I think I ate like 5 in a row before I finally got the timing of his run to the side down. And I waited until I was iLvl 247 before I even queued for that place. No content gate fixes first time foulups and slop...believe me, I know.

    Etc etc. If your healer decides to watch Netflix, or your tank goes glamour and never heard of CDs, or your DPS are "roleplaying because hey, it's their sub, not yours!!", or it's just a few people's first freaking time through...then WTF is a content gate going to do to stop that? Nothing, that's what.

    Roulette = gambling = sometimes you win, most times you lose. The nonsense is baked right into the entire concept of random gambling on party members, which is why you get paid in gil, seals and tomestones.
