Are there going to be any adjustments/additions to the Crystal Tower Raids?

Hey. I loved doing these raids before HW, and I still like going back to them once in a while. However, queue times for these have been long as all get out. The content is bound to be completely negligible outside of story, so I just want to know.

Are there any plans to revamp the rewards one can obtain from the instances: Labyrinth of the Ancients, Syrcus Tower, & World of Darkness?

I would love to do these raids again, but it really does feel as though it's dying content (fast). Especially when queues (as a DPS) are taking upwards of an hour to fill. I'm also afraid I'll never get my Puff of Darkness, since eventually nobody is going to be doing them.

I could do without going back to CT for quite a while.

That said, I think it'd be nice if there was a Raid Roulette that includes Coil and CT, though Coil would dwarf CT and people will insta-quit if they get the harder Turns.
But something like that has merit and can keep the raids more actively (relative to not having a roulette), like the 50 dungeons and trials.

I would only want to do them again if the difficulty was raised to match current ilvls. they were just too easy for too long.

So far the team has been really good at keeping old content alive, so I trust that certain content will not be dead for too long until they stimulate it with new incentives. As far as I know, the only thing thus said about the CT raids is that they are looking into allowing undersized participation (less than 24 players).

Tried queing for ST the other night with half a party already formed. We waited for over an hour and were still missing a healer and half the DPS before we gave up, (and out of the party, three of us were DPS ourselves). We qued again a little later, (one of our members was really wanting to run it to try and get a drop), and waited half an hour. We ended up with 3 tanks, 2 healers, and 5 dps before we gave up that time. The problems is that since we can get iLevel 115 level 50 gear from vendors, and can get Poetics equipment as fast as, (if not faster than), you used to be able to get Soldiery gear, the only reasons to run the CT trilogy now are either for the minion/card drops or for the weekly repeatable quest for an Ironworks upgrade item. This is particularly true for WoD, since while you can get iLevel 120 gear from it, it's purely random chance still that you'll get anything at all that you can use. Combine that with the fact that there's no roulette for them....

I love these 24 player raids, (even at their most frustrating), but right now there's no incentive to go through them for most players, and no way to really get a group for the content for players that want to run it just for fun. Maybe if they added a 24-player raid roulette that rewarded a halfway decent amount of Esoterics, (let's say 70 since the Expert rewards 35 and those runs take less time while rewarding Esoterics on their own), then we'd see a resurgence in this content. For now it would just be the three runs, but once they, (hopefully), add more 24-player runs in the future they could also add those into the roulette......

You would be synced down of course as always.

wait until you'll need to do CT-ST-WoD again for a random drop for the new relic. :p

Some little revamp would be appreciated from me, but I have no idea how to do it.

I kinda regret not getting the minions when it was possible.

Doubt it, Welcome to vertical progression MMOs, Old content is irrelevant and will just sit in the corners of time eating the games memory being completely wasted space.

Your only hope is getting a "Savage" or "Hard" mode of the tower through the Bard or something, and even then, a year down the line it'll also be wasted memory. \o/

You kidding, with syncing, you have been going to older content for tombs and the 2.x relics had you go to them all old content at some point.
