    Of course it matters, I have given you ample reason why it does and you have done nothing to dispute my arguments except for saying "no". But again, for the sake of the argument:
    the player would have to know these resources exist (i for one did not know they do until now), and still, its a higher hurdle to get into than to open duty finder and saying "yeah I want to play this now".

    Hurt, much?
    Most Hunt Trains I know of run over the entire DC, server hopping through everywhere. So yes, I do look DC wide. With this method though, Hunt Trains still only happen so often during the day, and may happen on times where I can not play because of other commitments like work.
    People like being able to just drop into content when they feel like it, and Hunt Trains are not that kind of content, that you have to admit.

    "just do hunt trains"

    literally the most braindead content in the game, where everyone plays tanks with their 40% passive damage resistance or a healer and spams Medica 3 to pump aggro unless they have neither actually leveled.

    I'd rather run Praetorium again in spite of getting locked to level 50 and not even having my AoE sword combo. It's also not good game design if people are not supposed to engage with one of the core features because engaging with it isn't worth it.

    Agreed. To paraphrase Josh Strife Hayes, if you are reading about your game on Reddit or other forums, looking up websites on how to best play a game, or watch any content creators about gaming, you are already no longer one of the casual players.

    Well, it IS the easiest way to farm tomes. Isn't wanting an efficient tome farm that lets you use your full kit the reason why you're complaining about roulettes / synced content in the first place?

    Everything in this game is "braindead" after a while if it's all you do, roulettes included.

    Extremely low bar for "non-casuals" in my opinion, but everyone's got their own thresholds on this stuff, I guess.
