Duty Roulette

The Duty Roulette allows players to enter instanced leveling dungeons, level-cap dungeons, main scenario dungeons, trials, raids, or guildhests at random. There are eleven roulette categories, each of which grants its bonus once per day.
In return for selecting a duty at random, players will receive enhanced rewards, including 
Experience, 
Company Seals,

Party tools within duties
Vote Dismiss
Party members can choose to vote dismiss another player in the party if they are not participating or are perceived to be misbehaving. This option is available after 5 minutes has passed since the start of the duty. A player who initiates a vote dismiss must choose one of four reasons for it: AFK ("away from keyboard"), offline, harassment, or cheating. If a majority of party members vote to dismiss (e.g., 2 people in a light party, 4 people in a full party) the member in question will be removed. Note that abuse of the vote dismiss function can lead to an account penalty.
Vote Abandon
If progress in a duty is going poorly, a party member may choose to initiate a vote to abandon the duty and disband the party. This option is available after 15 minutes has passed since the start of the duty. If a majority of party members vote to abandon, the party will be disbanded and everyone will leave the duty.
Player Commendations
- Main article: Player Commendation
When the duty is complete, players will have an option to give one "player commendation" to one other player who left a favorable impression.
