What incentives do you have to run standard versions of EW trials and 8-man raids? How about the dungeons that are not in expert roulette? Do you queue for any of them specifically? I can agree when it comes to content of the current patch, but even when it comes to lv90 content, anything outside the current patch cycle is already outdated and will place anyone trying to get these cleared into a long queue. Just because you can get these instances in a roulette doesn't mean players are actively running them.

Older content is kept afloat through the roulettes. There might be a small bundle of players chasing glamour or working on an older relic, but it's mainly the roulettes that shortens queue times when players want/need to do these duties specifically. If you weren't for roulettes, duties like CT which is ran nearly daily for most players would be dead content.
