Petition to Increase Old Alliance Raids' Difficulty

[Lumivyory]

Serious question: are you running the Alliance Roulette to have fun or to get exp/tomes/clusters whatever?
Because personally i am doing Alliance Roulette to get decent exp + some other rewards when leveling my DPS classes.

Why not both? Why do I have to sacrifice fun to get exp and rewards? Or do I have to sacrifice rewards to have fun?
This is a game. It's meant for fun. I'm not here to mindlessly grind everything to be "da best", I just want to enjoy the things this game has.

Right now Alliance roulette feels like a chore and I have plenty of those already. I still do it hoping to get some lvl 70 raid but of course I get LotA with all these boring people that are for some reason in a big rush and take off their gear before queueing.

In that case, would an appropriate solution be: minimum ilvl for all raid exp: LotA: ilvl 50, CF: 435.

This future proofs it so that when the next expansion comes out, they won't have to make further adjustments, as the raids would just be scaled to the lowest possible ilvl possible for them.

That would be hilarious, because there is no way in heck those raids would get completed too often at that point. The new players already die a lot while doing them! Actually, a lot of players die a lot as is. Mostly mentors.

I'm honestly not sure what what the sync'd ilvl CT is currently but the highest I could see it going without potentially making it faceroll would be equal to the loot drops. So LotA is ilvl 80, so you'd be sync'd down to 80 blues. Now if it is already 80 then nevermind.

I'd say that CM, Praetorium and Camp Westwind should get adjustments and SE seems to agree since the ARR reworks seems to be planning to alter them.

What's your source on this?

[MomomiMomi]

Should CM and Praetorium also be bumped in difficulty?

They should be turned into solo duties, and I truly hope that is exactly what they are doing in the ARR changes.

I'd recommend the forced ilevel to be even lower than the gear you get from there. When people were getting their i100-i110 gear from Tomes, Second Coil and/or ST, mechanics were able to be skipped.

Sees title of thread. Sees freshly nerfed Orbonne Monastery. Hahahaha, it's not gonna happen.

I don't queue for Alliance Raid roulette because it's hardly a good use of my time. So I personally wouldn't care either way.

Easy solution, don't queue for it then. No one is forcing you to queue for Alliance Raid roulette. Not like you can't just do Expert roulette once a day 5 times a week to cap tomestones or just ignore Alliance Raid roulette when leveling jobs. Jobs are already ridiculously quick and/or easy to level anyway. *CoughPixieBeastQuestsOnceADayFor20DaysCough*

Sidenote: Can we also increase the difficultly of leveling dungeons? I want Sastasha, Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak and Tam-Tara Deepcroft to be impossibly hard so I can actually have fun doing them /s.

But... I don't queue for Expert, because I don't find it fun.

I queue for alliance sometimes in hopes of getting something that isn't Crystal Tower, but nope, it's almost always Labyrinth or Syrcus. I wouldn't mind getting those as much if they weren't so horribly overgeared, though.

Literally no one is asking for anything to be "impossibly hard." They're asking for a borefest afk button mashing rush of a raid to be made a little bit less of a borefest afk button mashing rush.

Or to fix the ilvl cheesing and reward scaling so the "roulette" isn't so heavily biased toward said borefest afk button mashing rush raid.

I know that's some hyperbolic sarcasm there, but really.
