    Yeah the Crystal Tower raids as they are aren’t effecting the balance of the game,
    Maybe you aren't affected by the ilvl scumming, but that doesn't mean it isn't an issue that undermines the purpose of the roulette.

    also you can’t face roll Labyrinth of the Ancients unless you want to wipe on most of the bosses(for example a few people in one party missing pads will wipe the entire alliance.
    There's one instance (maybe two if your group sucks, because the dungeon is SO outgeared nowadays that the 2nd Ancient Flare is often skipped nowadays) where you have to have a slight majority of your alliance run to the pads or the entire alliance dies. That doesn't change the fact that the majority of the instance is faceroll now.

    Bone Dragon mechanics are completely ignored and everyone just lets the skeletons blow up, Thanatos can practically be killed by group A alone while B and C twiddle their thumbs, the 3 demons die so quickly now that it almost doesn't even matter if they are positioned improperly because they can still be killed before the bomb explodes, King Behemoth never gets to do his 3rd meteor and if your group doesn't suck he doesn't even get his 2nd, and the Iron Giant add + towers are completely ignored too because they just don't matter with how fast the fight is now.

    Please don't pretend like LotA isn't a total joke in i130, because it absolutely is, very much like CM/Prae are without any ilvl cap. It's only slightly slower than Syrcus because of the sheer amount of running involved between fights.

    The purpose of the roulette, as is the purpose of all roulettes, is to get bodies into content that people are queuing for in said roulette. That is it.

    The people who are "level scumming" are such an extreme minority of the playerbase it's laughable.

    I agree that something needs to be done about them.

    The Crystal Tower raids are embarrassingly bad compared to the later ones.
