[Request] Roulette Conscription!

[Theodric]

I've been thinking of ways to improve the queue times for roulettes and I think I've come to a satisfactory conclusion to benefit pretty much every member of FFXIV's great community.

My proposal is that a conscription service is implemented, the mandatory sort that randomly summons players not currently running content into a random duty to help alleviate the shortage of tanks, healers and - rarely - DPS.

So let's say my character is running about the verdant meadows of La Noscea. Suddenly a conscription message flashes on my screen and my character is summoned into the Odin trial.

If I complete the duty, I earn a bonus to gil, tomestone and other currency for the rest of the week. If I decline the conscription then I am locked out of rewards until the next reset occurs. I think this would go a long way towards encouraging engagement with content, reduce queue times and help players polish up their skills.

Why stop at tomestones? It should also lock Savage for the week, so that people are more likely to accept the duty to avoid pressure within the static.

If you're in a group, even better! Your whole group is now enlisted to help poor other players.

I am sorry as a full-time gatherer and crafter I would be FURIOUS to get pulled out of my gathering routine to help someone in a trial I had no interest in.

You have to see the bigger picture. Gathering/Crafting helps your own inventory and purse. But the enlisting helps out dozens of players.

This is a troll right? I can’t see being forced into content ever going down well.

[Tlamila]

Sure, and when does the part come where we shoot our leg away to be able to go back home?

Yes, but all I care about is my own inventory and purse

[ErryK]

No thanks.

A conscripted player who doesn't want to be there -and probably leaves - would be about the equivalent of your average duty finder player who did queue for the content. I can see this working out.
