Alliance Roulette desperately needs a split

[Doozer]

There is the answer you're looking for.

I mean, you can cut off the last part of what I said to make it easier to have something to respond to, but the rest matters too:

I personally don't get why people want Crystal Tower raids so bad. Sure they're 'faster' for people who just want the rewards at the end, but it's so boring.

I don't understand how someone can do something that's incredibly boring just because it's faster. You get the same rewards no matter what you do, so why not do something enjoyable instead of something where you can barely do a single combo before the fight is over. I play certain parts of the game because I like playing them, not because they're fast. So that's why I don't get it. I know they do it because it's faster, I even said that in my post, I acknowledged that I know why they do it, but I don't know why they do it if it's so painfully boring.

I'd rather get Copied Factory for my roulette than Labyrinth of the Ancients because I actually get to play the game instead of just hit two buttons and have no risk of dying whatsoever.

The roulette rewards are for people willing to fill in 'wherever is needed most', and oftentimes that just happens to be Crystal Tower.

I guess that's why I get CT raids so much with no new player bonus and seeing people re-equip gear right as it starts, huh.

For one, not many people have that much time to begin with. Or they find the rest of the dungeons to be tedious, therefore fun isn't a concern there. And then there is the matter of people doing other rouelttes that they would also find tedious but cannot pass up the rewards (particularly in the case of MSQ roulette, and then there is the matter of doing 4 dungeon roulettes and Trials on top of those)

All of these things add up, and its one reason why I find 4 AR rouelttes and counting to be overkill as mentioned in my last post,and also why I think it would be best done if those were mutually exclusive if they were to be added. Like you can do the CT roulettes, but that would lock you out of the rewards for the SoM, N:A, and RTI roulette until the next day (and even THAT has its own issues particularly for queues for SoM,the rest at least have incentives being ease of difficulty and MSQ gating for CT, Relic-gating for Ivalice and just bettering endgame gear for N:A, and the latter two will lose those qualities by next xpac),lest people find themselves thinking that they have to spend half their day at least on rouelttes to get exp or tomes efficiently.

Which brings us to the root of the issues, CT is too efficient for the roulette. You don't have to learn mechanics, you don't risk wiping (unless Tanks pulled the Atomos too early and 2/3rdsof the raid on on the same platform) and you can get it down in 20 mins with minimal effort. And you don't even have to coordinate most of the time. All due to the iLevel gap (WoD doesn't have these issues to that extent AFAIK, but its still easier compared to fighting Ozma and TGC)
