I've been hanging out in Novice Network and get this sentiment from a lot of the other mentors here, and kind of agree.
"I don't queue MSQ roulette because it's always the same thing"
"I don't queue Alliance Raid roulette because it's always crystal tower"
This is a real shame as many of these mentors were and are very helpful, and any new adventurer would benefit from them joining their duties
For the MSQ roulette, I feel like it should include more duties than just the 3 it currently does. Please consider adding in the final duties from each patch to the roulette pool - The Aetherochemical Reserach Facility + Singularity Reactor, Ala Mhigo + The Royal Menagerie, etc. This might be a bit weird especially with pre-formed parties of having some of these duties being 4 and others being 8 people but some sort of improvement / more variety would be amazing to see, and I think these ones really fit this roulette.
For Alliance Raid roulette, there were attempts to address this by adding an item level requirement I believe, but I don't think that's enough. I think that unlocking the first raid of each expansion would go a long way to improving the variety and also help those who would prefer to use duty finder over party finder. This doesn't need to be just locking the roulette (although that is an option), but having a significant penalty for not having each expansion's raids unlocked, or having an additional bonus (more exp, tomes, or clusters) for having them unlocked would go a long way.
I should also mention that I'm on the Materia Data Center too which is less active than most other servers which has lead to a party finder first approach for many things, and often having to settle on an unsynced run for first timers due to sometimes small turn-outs
