Suggestion: Close Raid Roulete Loophole (Using low ilevel to force low level raids)

[Iscah]

It's a difficult issue, and of course we get the inverted problem in leveling roulette - where the lack of ilevel restrictions is probably necessary so people can find a party at all for the close-to-level-cap dungeons.

I wonder whether the game coding would let them implement some sort of shifting ilevel check - if you're Lv50-59 you need X ilevel to participate; reach Lv60 and the requirement goes up, so you need to be well-geared to participate.

No, they're right. Queue as a dps and watch your spot. It regularly only goes down by one or two spots, which means a lot of people are queueing directly for lvl 50 raids.

Edit: Wait, I'm thinking of main story queue, but the same principle likely applies. The main story dps queue is going down one or two spots at a time but I'm almost never getting the new player bonus which means a lot of people are queuing for it directly for mog tomes.

That goes both ways though. If I'm queuing with a character that can only access the Lv50 raids, I can see the queue in front of me go down slowly as people presumably get pulled into the Lv60/70 raids.

....Why "Force" The Crystal Tower with this "Loophole" when you can literally just Que into them?

To get their daily roulette bonus with minimal work.

I don't do it, and I don't agree with doing it, but that's what would motivate people to do it.

Thats exactly what we need. For all roulettes. It would solve the problem of undergeared ppl in leveling roulette and the problem of "forcing" lvl 50 content for the other roulettes.

That's why I used MSQ roulette. It's all the same level and always exactly 4 dps. Well, actually I used it because I run it a lot more and forgot, but the principle applies. If that many people are queuing directly for castrum meridianum there are probably as much or more queuing directly for Syrcus Tower.
