Just some concerns about roulettes (read, rant)

No, I don't because what's your solution? We've discussed this to death in other threads.

They can't make the rewards even because the time expenditure isn't even right now. So you'd just get the opposite problem of people fishing for Castrum instead of Prae and bailing on Prae. Like someone said, one is good while people are leveling up and one is good for tome runs.

They can't force people to stay. There's a penalty now for leaving. It doesn't hit everyone that leaves after that point, but making it do so just seems overly punitive. The first person to bail can't queue again for 30 minutes but the rest still have to go sit in another queue. And if they have join in progress on, they may just end up back where they were again.

What exactly do you want them to do? I would much rather run Castrum with a team that either wants to be there or accepts that was the hand they were dealt that day and rolls with it than someone who will just go afk because they couldn't bounce like they wanted to.

lmao dude i don't have a solution better than anyone else here than either to get rid of msq entirely and make it solo-able with trusts or whatever, that's not my problem to figure out anyways.

and i'm aware of the penalty and that you can't force people to stay thanks, dude idc if people leave midduty or whatever it's not my decision on whether or not it's justified, i don't blame people for leaving & and i understand why, i'm just saying it's stupidly bad design on SE's part to let it stay like this

You have a pretty funny idea about what an "incentive" is.

If I have an hour to be online, and want to run through MSQ Roulette for the XP, am I incentivized to take the 30 minute penalty for a non-guaranteed chance to run Praetorium? Quite the contrary.

If I can be online for a whole day, and want to run through MSQ Roulette for the XP, how am I incentivized to take the 30 minute penalty for a non-guaranteed chance to run Praetorium? Am I supposed to enjoy the 15-20 minute queue times on top of the penalty? What happens the third time I get Castrum in the queue?

There is no "incentive" to leave Castrum in the hopes one can get Praetorium 30 minutes later.

ok tell that to the multiple people who straight up say they take the penalty a bunch of times for prae since the xp is just that much more. idk what other word to use other than incentive, english isn't my first language but go ahead and be overly picky on my wording even though you and everyone else knows exactly what i mean lmao
