    And I also hate praetorium since CS became unskippable but it is still the most efficient XP gain in the game after level 50 currently.
    Efficiency. Optimal. When given the opportunity, players will optimize all fun out of the game.

    Civ's designers call it "water finds a crack."

    It's the designer's job to take away the most egregious examples, to save players from themselves.

    I'm saying the roulettes are poorly designed in their current form. Abuse of that design by removing gear is the specific component of that design that shows its failure.

    Well I'm sorry but ending up in dun scaith, rabanastre, the ridorama lighthouse or Ordonne monastery with a pick up group doesn't fall in my description of "fun". Especially when in ordonne monastery there is a very high probability that the raid will disband or time out on the thunder god.

    And I'm far from being the only one with this opinion seeing the moans we get in FC chat when someone is unlucky enough to get those raids in their roulette.

    Cool. Fewer people should run that roulette, especially if they want to freeload.
