People are still gonna be cheesing it, so at least those of us looking to run literally anything else but still getting dragged into CT won't go away completely empty-handed,

I don’t think the cheese is that much of a problem (I keep getting Orbonne) but I agree: all other raids give something so why wouldn’t we get something for doing roulette. People who are playing jobs between lvls 50-60 or who haven’t finished HW and this can’t even unlock the next raid series should be able to get something other than through MSQ roulette. There are zillions of quests between the tome you do CT and the time you can unlock the HW raids (and is Void Ark really more interesting or challenging?)
As others have said, no it won't. You could still go the PF route and have blues in the party for everything 80 and below. I remember they did that for the big SHB relic grind where you needed to run all those 24 mans to get stuff. They blew through Void Ark in 12 min and Rabanastre in like 20 minutes. Considering how much Rabanastre gives, I would say that is the one they would grind, Don't know how long Scaith would take with some blues in the group doing Ultravibration on the mobs.
If you could have blues in it, the best would probably be Castrum. Hardly any cut scenes in it and a good normal group can do it in like 15 min. I can only imagine how fast it would be with blues in the party instana killing the mobs.
The rewards look super cool! Especially the phoenix mount ^.^
My FC and I are ecstatic about this because it feels like we're not farming tomes but rather we're being rewarded for playing almost any content we want appropriately.
We're not expecting CT raids to just disappear off the roulette map when the events start but at least we know if we end up in aglaia or euphrosyne, not only we get to enjoy it but we'll get more tomes for the effort put in, which is something the past Moogle Trove events did not do.
Did you even read what you're responding to?
This is what I wrote
Moogle tomes come before all patches since around stormblood, no at the beginning of patches, as I stated. After the 2 hours of msq + raid I would have something left to do. Putting moogle tomes at the end of patches and removed immediately after a new patch comes out means we go back to to afking at Limsa.Quote:
Overall, moogle tomes; old content, turns out to be better long term content than island sanctuary, variant dungeon, and the snorefest raids. They should start every patch with moogle tomes from the beginning.
I never found the Appeal of AFKing in Limsa.
The Gangos, or The Enclave.
Thats more of my spot
"From the beginning" was ambiguous as heck. The beginning of ... what?
A prepatch event leading up to the actual major patch is much smarter than a patch event that does not start until the patch is released.
Making it concurrent (which is what you indicate you meant here) with the patch release does not make it "long-term content". It actually interferes with the patch content itself.
