    I don't understand why people have issues with the Alliance Roulette as it is. It's a levelling/tomes tool, people run it to get XP to level or to upgrade gear. I sigh if I get Sastasha in levelling dungeon roulette, but I put up with it because it was always going to have a chance of being the one I got. Likewise if I opt to do the alliance roulette. If I want to do a specific raid, I queue for that raid. If I want to do any raid except CT, I'll queue for a bunch in one go.

    This is a ROULETTE with extra rewards to encourage you to go to help new players complete content. The more they split it into parts, especially if they increase rewards for one part over others, the less chance people have to get completion on the less popular part. You get the nice shinies to reward you for putting up with whichever option pops up.

    Yes some people are (allegedly) cheesing the system. But any changes of the kinds being suggested here would reduce the pool of available helpers for new players.

    I'm not violently anti any changes being made - I rarely do alliance roulette - but it does seem to me that these changes skew the balance in favour of the roulette runners who are already being rewarded for going and should therefore accept that they get whatever raid pops, rather than the new players it's designed to help
