My concern would be what would happen if the treasure goblin appeared and the party failed to catch it. In a roulette, with random people, there might be some unsavory discussion like shouting to the party and blaming newbies.


They worked so hard to make the game more inviting to players, it would really be bothersome if they added something that would make people to get pissed at other people.

Did you even noticed that there was an actual "treasure goblin" in Qarn? It's a stone head that you can kill at some points in the dungeon. I remember it used to drop a chest. If you missed them the first time, they would run off to another part of the dungeon ahead and you could kill it there. I think it could run off again to a later part of the dungeon too, but the thing didn't regenerated HP so it was hard to not kill it.


Maybe if it was like that it wouldn't cause too much friction among players. But who knows?
