Outdated Raids

To be fair there is alterations made to some of the crafted pieces. One that comes to mind specifically is the DRG set. As far as why it wasn't introduced earlier, that's something I don't know...but I do agree. Raid roulette will be welcome though once it does arrive, that will definitely boost the activity levels.

Because content needs to be developed, it doesn't just magically appear. Also 4.0 - 4.1 is a 3.5 month long period, just like any other patch, not 4-5months.

Speaking of minions, will the last 2 ever be adjusted so it's a fixed drop rate like all the other previous ones...

I might be missing recipes books. Which set is craftable? I can't find Demon set or they change the name.
They can always add dropped mats from the raid like Coil's allagan/high allagan sets.

Respectfully recommend to the Dev Team that they review the feasibility of their continued use in the rotation for things like Tails.

The entire purpose of having them in Wonderous Tails is to get people to queue. If they remove them the situation will become even worse.

The World of Darkness crafted reference is to the ilvl 320 crafted sets from masterbook V's. They're not listed as replica sets like the Coil gear.

I remember hearing something about changing Labyrinth of the Ancients to use 3 tanks instead of 6 for the purpose of the roulette. Takes time to flesh out that change?

Because they actually serve functionality. The replicas so far, like for the relic weapons and the Allagan pieces, have subpar stats if they're usable at all.

I welcome the raid roulette, especially if they'll give nice Adventurer In Need awards. But at this point, it might be better to just let people unsync it. Granted, I doubt that'll happen, as that'll be the final nail in the coffin of the queue times for that sort of content.

Unless they allowed unsync'd runs ;)

I wish they'd just let us go into them undersized and unsynced.
