It helped. Let’s be honest.

We no longer have the crowds of naked people putting clothes on if you load in fast enough.

It's not forcing, it's giving incentive to do them, if you don't want to engage with it, that's fine and valid, but there's plenty of people who haven't unlocked them just because they don't know they exist or see no reason to. They just take a while, idk I like all the alliance raids, except Puppets Bunker which is just boring to me.

It makes me curious though if the rest of the alliance still gets the "first-time" bonus after I leave or if its voided because I bailed the moment I load in.

Yes people should be “forced” to do or take a penalty for what they don’t want to do in a roulette because you are doing a roulette, getting benefits from filling others queues.

It’s why even though I leave every CT raid I ever get I will never advocate for removing the penalty for leaving it, because I know I’m there to help someone else and I’m choosing to not be helpful because I don’t want to do that particular duty

You 100% should be forced to have every duty on a roulette unlocked or you are actively hindering the intent of the roulette to your own benefit

I think it's more like: "Here's a handful of reasons why CT raid keep popping, but hey look at this 1 from 6969 reasons that people kept bringing up. That'll be our scapegoat while we leave the rest untouched, because why should we?"

Also I think I died a little noticing your signature update xD

What can I say but

Easy fix. Make alliance raids at the respective level mandatory.

You want to que alliance raids, but you are lvl 70? Nice! You have to do Void arc and Ivalice as well.

Nothing will change in the long run because only Crystal Tower is Mandatory.

The main reason for CT isnt that its the only mandatory raid series or that players havent unlocked others. When you load into CT if you check your party more often than not there is at least one player who is between lvl 50-60 which means you were never going to get anything but CT. It's the same reason why normal raids is almost always Alexander.

Given all the discussion about making things mandatory or whatnot, the solution that I will always advocate for: give an option to allow us to do max level rotations.

Honestly, that's my entire problem with Alliance raids. The one and only reason why I hate CT (and really, any pre-Nier raids) is that we have a gimped rotation. It's not like Alliance raids are serious content anyway so there's nothing lost in letting us do max level rotations.
