You could hand out the consumables for free and people would find a way to justify not using them. We'd be better off if they just dunked on the HP pools so bosses die in a more reasonable time frame. Keep twice-come-ruin cause it's a funny mechanic though. 8)While we're at it, put stuff like Delubrum Reginae normal in the alliance raid roulette and have an npc at the start who just hands you essences for like 1 gil so people can get in there more and actually enjoy themselves playing the game mode and maybe help some first timers out too.
I've actually given people essences to use when I hosted my own runs, and they used them. If tools are accessible, I think only the dumbest moron would be like "no thanks" (but yeah those people do exist, for sure)





I met one of those in the past, once. Funded their fragments lasting for possibly a month, then the next week of our DRn run they said they sold it because 'It doesn't do much anyway.'
Since then, I prefer to just teach/guide people how to farm their own to give them a good start.

We literally would get a dumbed down version of it, wouldn't we. They wouldn't trust us to use essences even if they were free, because people are too stupid to just read what they do and have fun with them.
Either way though, would be dope if they added it to the alliance roulette.





By 'guiding', I mean I will assist them on their first frag farms while making sure they know how to do the same in the future. The frags they've amassed on that first time farm are theirs entirely, I don't care what they do with those. Either use them for themself 100%, sell 50% of them, or sell all of them, it's their right. I'm just content knowing that I've taught them the 'how'. If they still cry in the future well that's on them (gladly nobody that I've known does... yet).
I didn't do that on the anecdote I wrote and I regretted it.
While I would be happy to see more variety in AR roulette, I'm worried that to make it possible, they'll just outright remove the LA system, which is a major reason why I love running Eureka/BSF contents.![]()

You and I have wrote our piece(s). We don't necessarily need to change each other's mind. But we can change other's."



one way of addressing that would be to make a new roulette with DR and the Dalriada. That way, when you queue you know what to expect and can prepare adequately. I would definitely queue for that regularly.
One of the main reasons I made this post was to directly address some of the issues with the raid requirements in these zones. DR can be specifcally preped and queued for (however as mentioned in the thread, it really should have its own daily duty queue), but Dalriada requires you be in the zone to enter it, same with Castrum in Southern Front, which hasn't had anywhere close to full runs since 5.55 launched. While BA can be sepecifically preped and queued for, it's also not part of the zone story questline and thus not a hard requirement. As a result it's more so in the category of duels where having zone filled up with more players might offer more oppertunities at achievement completion. Which is something I'm completely fine with discord servers and groups being around for as it's not a hard requirement.
The main goal of a Eureka/Bozja roullette queue is to effectively boost player participation in the completion process of the zones to keep content relevant and provide new players a better experience. It would fill the same niche as the 50/60/70/80 dungeon queue.
