hello. it has come to my attention that people areabusingmanipulating the Alliance Raid Roulette. they are removing pieces of gear to make their AIL low enough to roulette only the very first 2 Alliance Raids. this is unacceptable and must be against some kind of rule somewhere.
only thing i can suggest...
it would just be something like your highest achieved AIL for each job equipped will be recorded. and, when having that job equipped, you are forced to meet that AIL to queue in the roulette. now... it doesn't really need to record the exact number, and can just set stages. even if it does record the exact number, there could be some room for wiggle. this way anyone willing sacrifice a small amount of AIL to trade a piece of gear for something that is best-in-slot for the stat they want to stack won't have to worry about that.
i am sure there is a flaw in the idea somewhere... but i think if the developers could find even the smallest inkling of time, even here & there, then something to that effect would certainly put an end to manipulation of roulette results.
Alliance Raid Roulette Dynamic AIL Enforcement? Yes, please!

How much of this is actually Duty Roulette being biased towards specific content compared to people actually abusing ilevel requirements, though?
I mean, I could be wrong, I just struggle to imagine enough people doing it to prevent something like Orbonne from being frequent. -
04-13-2019, 10:42 AMKurandoWhere exactly does the ToS cover players choosing to equip the gear THEY want to use before queuing for a duty? Is it an exploit, not really because that's how the system currently works and has done for a long time. You can do it with most roulettes to somewhat effect the outcome, but it's not guaranteed. Besides if there is content you need to do, don't rely on a roulette to give it to you.Quote:
this is unacceptable and is actually against the ToS.
On a side note we do need min ilvl for leveling duties (because of undergeared issues), but that's it. -

square doesnt have enough resources for something like that, but fret not they do have enough resources to lock more hairstyles and emotes behind MGP

Likewise while I do get bored of LoTA on repeat, if I need to run other raids I will? Maybe it's better on Aether but I haven't had an issue queuing for any of the other raids available to me if I need them. Nor has Alliance Roulette /only/ given me LoTA's. Mhach and Dun Scaith both appear quite frequently as well - with the 70 Raids being mostly locked as I use Alliance Roulette mainly for leveling these days.

Are you going to enter every thread tonight and drop the bit about MGP and hairstyles, regardless if it is relevant to the topic or not?Quote:
