    Universal Roulette

    Something I would like in this game is a 'universal roulette,' one that has a chance to put you in any duty you have unlocked. This includes expert, end-of-expansion, levelling, and MSQ dungeons, as well as normal and alliance raids, and trials.

    The Mentor roulette, Guildhests, PvP, and anything else non-combat like the Gold Saucer stuff would not be included.

    Why do I want this? Simply because I love the duties in this game, and it feels like there are some I almost never get to play just because I never seem to have a reason to. Doma Castle, Amaurot, The Twinning, Mt. Gulg, The Dancing Plague, The Dying Gasp, The Vault, The Singularity Reactor, the Final Steps of Faith, Praetorium, Thornmarch, The Grand Cosmos, The Drowned City of Skalla, and the entirety of Eden are probably my favorite duties, but because they span several of the roulettes, the chances that I see more than one, or even just one of them over the course of a week doing my roulettes is very, very low.

    And, of course, since it's more than five, I can't queue for them all manually. And even if I'd want to, I'd probably be dragged into Prae 9 times out of 10 if it only had to compete with four other duties...

    So, give me a Universal Roulette, so I have a chance of doing all the duties.

    Bonus points if it has a large reward. I could see it as the ultimate 'filler' roulette, so that the party who had their tank leave at the beginning of Amaurot doesn't have to wait an hour for someone to want to queue 50/60/70/80 dungeons during slow hours.

    Just an idea, though.

    You do realize that you will end up primarily in the same couple of duties others are running with this idea? Most likely Syrcus or Castrum Meridianum.

    Become a mentor that is what the mentor roulette is. Will put you in anything in the game that needs your role filled.

    You literally just described Mentor Roulette.

    To be fair, what OP described isn't Mentor Roulette--it's Mentor Roulette minus the extreme trials (and guildhests, I suppose).

    To be fair, extreme trials shouldn't be part of mentor roulette. And also hes also minuses then guildhest which are in mentor. And he wants it to have a large bonus, which mentor also doesn't have.

    So the high level of masochism that the mentor roulette requires is not enough for you, you need a second one?

    Crossing even more boring random content, what a wonderful...

    Another one that's supposed to be innovative?

    The only difference is that his request excludes extremes...otherwise, yeah, mentor roulette without the work of getting all the mentor requirements.
