Leveling and 50/60/70/80 Roulettes should be reorganized + Alliance Roulette concerns

[Edax]

Alliance Roulette... Where do I even begin?

The original purpose of Alliance Roulette was to revitalize the older 24-man raid series. Prior to the Roulette being introduced, the Crystal Tower raid series especially would frequently see queue times of 1-2+ hours.

Now, because of people lowering their item level to force the roulette to choose the lower level raids for the roulette, we now have the exact opposite problem: The roulette frequently chooses the level 50 Crystal Tower raid series above all others. Orbonne Monastery, the most recent Alliance raid, now sees queue times upwards of 2+ hours.

Get rid of item level weighting for the Alliance Roulette. The roulette should not be manipulated in this way. Orbonne may be harder than the rest, but it wouldn't be the insurmountable task the community thinks it is if experienced players actually started doing it again, instead of it being a raid that is now more or less limited to new players who missed the train before.

This may be slightly unrelated but I think the ability to earn glam from these old raids is too...punishing. In this environment where everyone drops their item level to do the level 50 raids, I've done Labyrinth of the Ancients a dozen of times a month, yet I still don't have the full Fuma gear set for my Ninja. Because I'm trying for this set, I always queuing as the same class and repeating this dungeon to the point of tedium. These old raids provide no useful gear anymore so the only reason we run it is for glam and tomes. I really wish the Alliance roulette rewarded raid tokens that allowed the gear sets to be redeemed eventually one at a time, perhaps with tokens so we can finally complete the gears sets eventually. Because as is, I feel like I'm wasting my time when I don't get a level 50 raid. I like the Ivalice armor sets but the raid pacing is slow and the loot drop RNG / greed rolling makes getting the gear a nightmare.

If I had a more reasonable method of getting Ivalice glam, I would be more encouraged to not manipulate my item levels to get the faster raids which have the gear I want. Sure someone might suggest to me to not use the Alliance Roulette to get my glam but those tomes are the only thing actually progressing my character.
