Suggestion: Raid Roulette(8-man) and Raid Roulette(24-man)

I was wondering if it'd be possible to implement two new, different roulettes for FFXIV.

With the amount of 8-man raids you have now(including Gordias(Normal) and Binding/Second/Final Coil of Bahamut), it'd be great to bring back the raids that nobody does anymore, mainly due to the amount of content in Heavensward. This would allow those who have not purchased Heavensward to take part in the end-game raids for A Realm Reborn without struggling to find a static, PUG or an FC that would help them clear it.

It would only require the unlocking of at least 2 8-man Raids to enter, and it can also be accessed with a pre-formed party.

As for the 24-man Raid Roulette, Crystal Tower has come and gone, but now that Void Ark is on the way I would think that with about 4 24-man alliance raids, you could make a roulette to bring back Crystal Tower. As of currently, Crystal Tower is rarely done anymore and is basically shelved while Gordias took its place for at least 3 months. If it can be implemented into 3.1(or a later date, dependent on what the Dev Team's priorities are), it'd allow those who wish to do Crystal Tower the capability to do so without having to wait in 2-3 hour queues for it.

For rewards, I was thinking of the following:

Raid Roulette
- 100 Poetics, 50 Law, 20 Esoterics Daily

Raid Roulette(Alliance)
- 100 Poetics, 50 Law, 20 Esoterics Daily

These of course can be altered by the Dev Team for balance in gear progression.

this needs to happen now, lol.

I'm with you!

Yes please.

Totally needs to happen.

Do it please. I could also use the extra tomes.

Coil is a lot harder than Alex Normal (they said that Alex Normal will be Coil with echo, which is definitely not true so far but that might change in 3.2). So considering that from personal experience, people still couldn't even beat Turn 5 with a full set of Augmented Ironworks gear in patch 2.55, I dunno if I would personally want to spend hours on Coil daily. As for a raid alliance roulette, I'm down with that. Been too long since I last played CT and I miss it.

yes please

Just a minor change to your eso rewards. It would have to be more than 40 seeing how it will take way longer to get these tasks accomplsished than just to Q for an expert dungeon. However I have had the same idea. I would love a coil roulette. Or an extreme primal roulette!!! Don't forgot about those.

It would actually be about in line with what the raids themselves give Eso wise: Alex Normal only gives 10 Eso each, and Void Ark 20. If anything 40 is too much when compared to how the Expert and Level 60 ones work.

Well, honestly some of the dailies do that to you, having you spend a few hours due to redundant people. That's what the PF is for. Again, having a DF like that will help people who want to do Coil and the FF3 Raids have easier access than wait god knows how long for it.

I'm all for 24 man raid roulette, but not the 8 man one unless it only includes Alexander. There'd be too much drama for late Coil runs with completely random people that it's not worth queuing for.

Or we could just have one Alliance Roulette to reward 40 esoterics, 50 laws and 100 poetics (+xp if under level 60) instead of two.

Well, how else are people going to actually do Coil? PF pretty much is troublesome nowadays to even get people to do old content(I'm looking at you, CT). Sure, you'll sometimes find people nice enough, but that's not guaranteed. The 8-man roulette would at least alleviate a few things if not bring old content back into relevance.
