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

[Kuroka]

Yeah thats another thing they have to look into... i had much more such "random" players DC lately...

Anyway, I don't think this is possible? They can't lock people out of their inventories/armouries as there are genuine people out there who find a new piece of armour that is better than what they have on and they equip it right there and then.

Sometimes I queue while wearing a glamour gearset and forget ilevel influences what pops.

I don't understand this. I mean, is simple: once you hit LvL 60 the alliance roulette request ILvL 255 and having all the appropriate raids unlocked. Expert already does this so the technology is there.

I don't see a problem at all in gearing for a lower ilevel to get the 50 level raids as opposed to the 60's. Seriously stop trying to control how people queue.

Relative to the moogle tokens perhaps if SE included the 60 level raids as well people wouldn't bother to try and manipulate which duties they get.

I think the only way to do this would be to remove the ilvl requirements for the raids which would cause lots of issues

Is not controlling how people queue, if anyone wants to only do those 3 raids so badly they can directly queue for it. The idea behind the roulette always was to help people that actually wanted to do a certain one and get rewarded for doing it.

I can queue at whatever ilevel I prefer to. I don't see it as an issue in the least. The idea of trying to control what and how people queue shouldn't be up to those who prefer to run the 60 level raids. People run the Alliance Raid primarily for the experience awarded as a result of the bonus daily. This is only an issue at the moment because of the event and I totally understand why people who are leveling characters would prefer those lower level raids. Blame SE for not including those into the rewards for the event.

I'm not leveling any characters at the moment so I've been spamming ST but you can believe if I was I'd be using my ilevel to insure I DON'T get the 60's.

You'd be surprised how many new level 60s do not have ILvL 255, why punish them, when the game honestly pushes for it with how easy it is to level - especially with PotD and pot jumps. I've also reached level 60 and above while in ARR - I'd be thoroughly peeved if I was forced into a level 60 alliance raid that doesn't even coincide with the plot at the moment. Finally, someone who's level 60+ and in ARR doesn't have access to ILvL 255 without purchasing it off the market board. You can't access shire gear until near the end of the HW and sky pirate is a bit expensive. Anyway, it's costly.

Issue is, the reward vs investment ratio really isn't the same for the first raids, compared to the later ones.
