    I think it's a fine idea. If everyone clicks yes, then it will proceed to the next dungeon with exactly the same group.

    If someone clicks no, then it disbands as usual.

    Not sure why it wouldn't work. As long as it can queue for another type of Roulette. For example, your group just finished Main Scenario Roulette, and then with the same group, you will be queued for the next Roulette, such as Expert Roulette.

    Otherwise, if it's only for the same type of roulette, everyone will just click disband, because mostly people are only there for the daily bonus roulette. No one is keen, for example, to do another Main Scenario Roulette more than 1 time per day lol.

    If there are other incentives, then maybe they will stay.

    What is the next dungeon? What if it's a 8 man group? What if it's roulettes? What if it's mentor roulette with noobs?

    There may be a simple system for this. One chooses in advance what "yes" will mean and what all kinds of instances one will want. So even if he clicks "yes" and it is something he doesn't want, it will disconnect him right away.

    And for some, seeing a constant popup will be annoying.

    I know it will for me if it isn't with people i know.

    And it's always fun when I run into people in the next roulette two - three times consecutively.

    In the end, what you're asking for is a Drop me into the Roulette Gauntlet with the same four ppl. and then the last few will be all content that requires 8 ppl. (But roulettes are meant to help people in need of players for content. removing the purpose and the reason they get paid for running it. Thus it'll only be for 2-3 Players and them 4-6 for 8-man content)

    But doing so with people you randomly meet in a random roulette that isn't a forced roulette Gauntlet as an example of above. May not work.

    More so if it's not a roulette they want/planned to do. Like PVP FL, or any other roulette for pvp they may get in the future. (Or if they even have their hotbars ready in the first place)

    Limits the amount of content you can do, cause as others said. New Players are more likely now a days to not have new/old side content unlocked.

    And then we also have to think.

    How will this interfere with existing systems and mechanics.

    For one it may end up being used to ferry people into CT with one player being a CT only account.

    The System would need to be reasonable. and not bloat itself or other systems.

    We also have to think for who this is for.

    and then for who it isn't.

    and what players could potentially use it for against their or others will.

    Exactly because of this, the system can automatically detect what people are missing from the roulette and then link them up after they click that they wish to continue. How simple. And the popup with the yes or no option can be turned off in the settings.

    My main method of making friends in mmos when I'm jumping in alone is by queue chaining after a really good dungeon run with random strangers. The contacts list is unfortunately not enough to facilitate this kind of thing.
    +1 from me on this.

    Unless I'm out of my gourd, World of Warcraft has a feature like this. If, at the end of a dungeon, the party leader goes into their version of the Duty Finder and queues for pretty much any other dungeon (within their level range--their Duty Finder doesn't let them queue for non-current content stuff, you gotta walk to the entrance for anything else or get thrown in there via roulette), it will prompt everyone else in their group to accept or decline the queue. If someone declines, cool, wait till they leave or get kicked and queue again, and your party will automatically get filled.

    Might be a holdover from WoW's ancient partying system, but something like it wouldn't be out of place in FFXIV.

    WoW has that feature. When a group completes a dungeon, whoever wants to leave leaves, and if the rest of the group wants to run another, they can queue up together and fill any empty slots with the duty finder.

    Did I stumble into alternate reality? Besides rare moogle events, dungeons are one and done for roulette bonus. For anything else PF system exists.

    I think the tricky thing for implementing something like this is how duties work in XIV. With WoW you can actually queue up for new dungeons while still in the last one after finishing it because they function a bit more like normal areas. Allowing us to select and queue for new duties while still in one might be either extremely difficult or impossible in XIV.

    It might be possible to at least allow us to have the party stay formed after leaving. You could have a thing to select and party members get a pop up asking if they'd like to stay in the party after leaving the duty. That would at least help with moments where a party was nice and you, for example, want to do more roulettes with that group.

    Sure you can do that with contacts but if possible, that would ease the process and would be a bit of extra quality of life.
