The "join duty in progress" change is ridiculous.

i wonder what that means for an alt with story skip. is the roulette just locked if you have it unlocked but didnt do any of the instances?

a lot of extra work on alts since you have to queue for any content on its own

i would hate to join in progress on my main... but its kinda bad if youre an alt-player

No there isn't, trials and raids are binary things, either cleared or uncleare. What you meant to say was alliance raids, which is not what the other poster was referring to.
Normal raids and trials have zero reason to have this functionality forcibly on, this is just another case of the laziest possible implementation of something being the one they chose.

Things happen in trials and raids. The bosses don't simply stand there completely stationary as the players acknowledge what they look like and then kill them. The boss and players engage in combat, during which the boss uses various attacks and mechanics which are challenges for the players to overcome. Sometimes they have multiple phases, cutscenes and arena changes which are designed to be visual spectacles for the players to enjoy as they progress through the story. There is more to these gameplay activities than seeing what the boss looks like at the end of the fight.

The opposition to this change is bizarre. Does occasionally taking a few minutes longer to clear a main scenario duty while levelling an alt character bother you guys that much?
