Crystal Tower runs are dieing.

Maybe thinking like this is weird, but shouldn't these raids be accessible for reasons other than gear? Like people have said, new players join all the time. Gear isn't the only reason they might want to run these raids. There's also the general content (I realize MMOs aren't necessarily famous for story, but this game does it pretty well) and the titles and achievements.

The raids didn't go anywhere. People can still run them if they want to.

It has to be ok for content to become obsolete. I seriously SERIOUSLY don't want to be running CT raids three expansions from now just because old content isn't allowed to be old.

They should add ilvl 180 upgrade materials to CT weekly quest.
Yeah I find hunting all day long boring :P

That's not a bad idea actually.

[Carvaka]

I want to solo wod in ilvl 350 gear. Deadset punt that mortal gaze giving sob back to 1970, carve Cerberus up for my Roe dinner and seduce the cloud lady before having her make me breakfast the day after the run. #Roethug4lyfe

It's actually a pretty terrible idea. Bonus tomes or extra fluff for old content is fine, but requiring old content to do new content (or get the newest gear) is an awful idea. I don't like hunts either, but if we're putting those items into a raid it ought to be alexander or the 24-man.

Didn't SE say they're already looking into ways to allow undersized parties into the CT raids? This seems like a problem that's already got a solution. Forcing them to be relevant is just not a good idea. They were already relevant for a long time, and let's be real: most of the time that they were relevant people did nothing but complain about them.

Sadly with the design of FFXIV in general, old content becomes pointless to run for anything other than the roulettes. There's just nothing noteworthy for the amount of time you spend in them. You might as well just jump into a new HW dungeon with lower queue times, better gear, and that same chance for card/minion/mount.

Can you say Relic?

[OnizukaBR]

They should create a new roullete with Ex Primals and Raids, and make it give you a box as daily reward. In this box they could add glamour stuff, mounts, forniture i dont know, just things that are not part of progression.

[krazyrs]

id prolly run it if it was added as a raid roulette for law @ lv60 or exp bonus 50-59

[Dante_V]

I'm so glad I don't have to run this anymore. The crystal tower is literally worthless outside of the lore/glamor and people are still doing it so it's still accessible just not as relevant as it once was. They've kicked this dead horse into oblivion and it was painfully boring to run even when it was relevant. Requiring this for new content at this point (post expansion) would be obtuse and mundane. On top of this you always have the option to PF a group who feels the same as you and run the content.

No one was ever required to get a relic and those who did understood that it was a time sink for power increase that they signed up for.
