bad solution. it means being overlevelled while doing the msq locks you out of the roulette.

but as soon as you enter another expansion you should have done the last expansions a-raid. that would be better.

Considering there's no benefit to significantly overleveling during the MSQ, and the game already incentivizes leveling multiple jobs, it's a moot point anyway.

i agree!
but most people dont think like that. they just see that they are suddenly locked out.... negativ opinions remain

I have come up with 2 solutions for this which I think would both need to implemented to fully solve this:

1) Add the crystal tower series of a-raids to MSQ roulette. They are part of the MSQ and required before finishing ARR now and might as well be thrown into the mix. It would also be the "preferred" option in this category.

The issue with only having option one is that people would then default to only doing the Heavensward Raid series, so the prevent this from happening again:

2) Do not allow players to use A-raid roulette if they have not completed the A-raid series for the previous expansion. It should be fairly easy to implement this as its just checking for achievements since they give one after each expansion as well as once you complete an A-raid. Lock people out of forcing others to spam the same stuff every day.

I know there are new players and I'm excited for them to get to experience the game but getting CT 90% of the time I queue for an A-raid make it feel like less of a roulette and more of a crystal tower queue.

Thank you for reading my rant.

I proposed your 2nd option in another thread. It's clear that this is a lingering issue that bothers a lot of players.
MSQ progress should lock the roulette until the previous expansion's third raid is completed. If you skip a lot of expansions, you will need to run a lot of raids.

It shouldn't be moved to MSQ roulette, though. Roulettes are the most practical way of matching first timers to completion players, but that only works if you can guarantee content is included in the roulette.
