    Reason being that NM raid items should be reworked to begin with into a single token of which you can get 1 per floor per week. Then be able to spend the same number of tokens as you would with the current system to get whatever gear pieces you want. It would allow people to get 1 big upgrade week 1 in the form of a chest piece, or 2-4 smaller upgrades in one week. Instead of need 4 weeks plus some rng to get a chest.
    They will never do this purely because that RNG aspects keeps people queuing. If you're practically guaranteed a drop from each floor, and are then able to get at least one piece each week. That means not only are you queuing less, but will gear significantly faster... which will make normal mode irrelevant all the more quickly.

    I disagree, normal raid roulette exists and frequently puts people in current raid tiers.

    Have you queued into any of the old raids directly? I helped a friend a few months back get her alt through Alex. Despite going on tank, we were waiting 20 minutes. She waited over an hour on, I believe A9-10. This was during the day, by the way. I imagine the current system exists to avoid this happening a month into say, Alphascape normal's release.
