    The roulette is not there for you to get XP, it's there to help people with their story.
    Sorry you have one less option, but this is an... interesting.. attempt to address all the people who wanted to experience the story but couldn't because when they DF'd the quests they got shotgunned through it.

    The roulette was introduced to help the queue times for newcomers by giving veteran players an incentive to run them. This was done with exp and tomes. If the exp and tomes are not that great anymore then you take away the incentive thus taking away the reason to run this. Yes there will be people that will still run this but there was a reason why they introduced that roulette..

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    Taking away the reason for people who used to run it for the quick XP and Tomes. It seems to me SE thinks there are enough people queuing across data centers who'd be willing to sit through cutscenes to cover the new people who want to do it, and they've decided the experience of the new people is worth more than the quick queues of old.

    Time will tell I guess.

    Well if people already run it so much they wouldnt have needed the roulette to begin with. Even I who was there when ARR was not over had to wait quite some time. Anyway maybe it wont be as bad as we believe (hopefully for the newer players) but I fear that it will get bad.

    There was a problem with it when it was first created. New people needed the story but at the time you had to wait for people in your own server to run it. Now we have queues AND PF across the data center. Probably a whole different situation now.

    People don't want "quick XP and Tomes", they want "good Xp+Tomes/time ratio". And frankly, at 400 poetics and several million Xp, Praetorium is still a very good option.

    It's only 400 poetics if there's a newbie, otherwise it's a flat 200 which can be gained /much/ quicker by running several other instances that also will provide more XP.

    Incorrect.
    Praetorium is 400 without a newbie, 500 with a newbie.

    It's 200 for the roulette,

    +200 for beating the dungeon (that's given any time you beat it, not just on your first time - it's given every single time it's beaten synced. Before the patch that reward was 20). You can view this in the duty finder in dungeons section by looking at "The Praetorium". This applies even if the dungeon is picked via a roulette.

    + 100 if there's a new person.

    Ah, thanks for the correction! I only checked the roulette and that's entirely my bad.

    in my head you just repeated yourself:
    People don't want quick xp and tomes.. they want xp and tomes at a fast enough rate that it's worth their time..
    ... so.. quick xp and tomes.
