It's worse than 3.1 ARF.
Raid roulette is CT 90% of the time.
I don't mind doing it once in a while, but this is ridiculous. I can't even unequip gear to downgrade because it's the lowest possible raid.

People got what they asked for, now suffer for your transgressions. Skip it like MSQ roullette...
It’s a roulette. If you don’t like the choices, then don’t do it. Simple as that.
I've had all 6 possibilities come up in that roulette. None in particular come up as the most common, they are just tied. Guess I been lucky.
Wouldnt be a roulette if you could remove a dungeon that you dislike. The roulettes were made so those who wanted to do those dungeons/raids, were able to enter the dungeon/raid alot faster then before. In return you get experience bonus and tokens.
The point of the roulette system is to fill in groups for old content when someone needs it. The reason you're getting LotA is because there are people who have never done it queuing up for it. The system is doing it's job, in effect. Besides, CT is one of the shortest raids to do, and can be steamrolled pretty quickly. This morning our group ignored skeletons on first boss, killed it with first group on 2nd, etc.
If they let you blacklist LotA, there's going to be a handful of folks that can never find groups to get it done. Thus defeating the purpose of the roulette.
Nope.....wrong...try again.
I've hit pretty much every raid map from A-Z - honestly - its fun - its easy tomestone boost. Can't really complain.
If you don't like it - go make your own party and queue up for what you want manually - odds are the random roulette wheel will spin your way. - You just don't get the bonus for it of course (unless a newbie shows up).

For just over two years a lot of people have been stuck on those crystal tower raids. There were a few brief periods where it was possible to get a group to do them, but if they came and went at a time you werent able to take advantage then you were still stuck. Now we have a new roulette, so these people are getting their first runs. There was a wave of LotAs, which im sure was/is/will be followed by one for Syrcus, and one for WoD. These will never reach a truly equal 1 in 6 ratio as you only need 2 cleared(or is it unlocked?) to que for roulette bonus, so WoD and Dun will always be less common(whether one of LotA + Syrcus, LotA + Ark, or Ark + Weep ever become truly popular as stopping points and thereby further upset the balance remains to be seen). So for now, im sorry but its just something to deal with. And over time, it wont even be a thing.
This is silly. You're getting LoTA because they need someone, and the roulette chose you. You can't just block out an entire portion of the roulette wheel.
Just because you "think" your getting 90% Crystal Tower - doesn't mean it is.
It's a roulette...random...dependent on demand at a given window of time.
Yesterday I pulled World of Darkness - Day before that it was the Labyrinth - Before that Void Ark. Etc..etc..etc. (once a day with bonuses - now if your hitting it repeatedly in the same day? Will - pick the one you want instead :P )

That alone proves my point.
nothing stops you from withdrawing and waiting 30 minutes for something else or setting up your own choice in raids.
bottom line - this isn't justification enough for blacklisting. - I understand people get sick of repeating dungeons/maps/trials - but the system is working as intended. - if the majority of the population is working on a given dungeon demanding assistance - your going there....period. It's just a luck of the draw.

Allot of people doing glamour run too. I even started redoing the old raids for squadron gear.
Or for leveling: Peoples who are under level 60 can only enter CT.
joined in 4.0 so this raid roulette is a god send for me and other new comers who are only now getting a chance to do the old raids (because queing up before this roulette was 30+ minute que that never popped) so CT probably is the majority of what the roulette is giving out right now just because its people's first time getting a chance to do it. this will eventually even out and you'll get more of a verity later on, but for now you just gotta deal with it, it is a roulette after all.
Lota is still 20 min ish with another + 3 min for the obligatory wipe on last boss its not that bad ... dun scaith can be really nasty if you have a lot of first timers.
For the exp it gives that time is fine. Take it or leave it, i don't do 50/60 or mainstory, reward is not worth the effort.
