[Request] Roulette Conscription!

[Tlamila]

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

[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.

Actual reenactment of this whole event playing out and what people will do to get out of it (Colorized 1945).

A marvelous proposal, to strengthen community cohesion! I think if people don't say "Hello" at the start and "thanks" at the end of the instance, and don't leave a commendation, they should also be stripped of any rewards for the week. Hmm... maybe you could work this into some kind of rating system that regulates access to rewards and even content!

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

So it's Mentor Roulette, but involuntary?

[Saefinn]

It's a 'no' from me.

Maybe, maybe it'd be okay if somebody opts in for this feature with the option to opt out.

But Imagine the fun if I just got pulled in just after I leave to AFK,tank sees they got a healer, pulls, wipes, gets angry that there's no healer there.

And if I am doing something else, I'm just gonna take the 30 min penalty for leaving so I can continue with what I was doing. And then probably not be too pleased I got pulled at random, and I can't imagine the group I was forced to joined would be happy either.

The idea of being asked to fill a queue for extra incentive sounds interesting, but it would have to be implemented better. Like toggling it on like "yes I would like to receive these notifications". As someone who at least meets the mentor requirements and likes to help players sometimes, I wouldn't mind being asked to backfill a duty that's missing someone.

Though on the other hand it just sounds like less mysterious duty roulette. People already queue for those, knowing they'd get a random duty, and then instantly leave as soon as they see they're in Dun Scaith. So if they saw that duty pop up they'd be like "lmao no I'm too much of a coward" and cancel it.

Oh, and locking people out of stuff is pretty dumb. People already cancel stuff, like I said, because they don't want to do it even though they queued knowing they could get it.
