    It's actually very few people who do this. Just look in your party list next time, you'll notice most people use Alliance Roulette for levelling characters, so they literally can't be put into higher ones. I've made a habit of it because I used to believe this myth. Nearly half of every party is sub-70.

    Very much this. What I wish they would do is implement a 'expert' of sorts Alliance roulette that places only the recent three, and you have to be max level for it. In this case it would only offer tomes.

    From my anecdotes, when I started paying attention, I noticed about 1/3rd of my Syrcus tower/Labyrinth runs had someone reequipping gear causing their health to spike from near empty to full.

    I'm sure there are also a lot of new players trying to get through the CT raids as well. World of Darkness was my daily raid today and there was a new player bonus at the beginning. So while I think that there are those who are cheesing the queue, there are also a fair number of players who are doing it for the first time. Since it's a bit of a roadblock to get into Shadowbringers it's not surprising that CT queues are made a bit more common by default.

    While I cannot give a specific date on when personal housing will be implemented, I can say that prices will be completely separate from free company housing, and, naturally, far more affordable.

    Did you also pay attention to the message about first time completetion bonus? If yes, what was your experience?

    Agreed.

    If you want tokens is actually more efficient to run expert repeatedly. Even after you've run it once that day, subsequent runs still give 80-160 tomes because each boss gives some tomes - and you can have it on farm pretty quickly.

    Alliance raid though, gives a lot of experience, so it's a great way to take a break from endless grinding in Bozja, and if you can keep it to one of the easy ones it's not too bad on time efficiency as compared to other choices. As long as you don't get the Stormblood one, it's always at least worth the time to complete it. That of course sucks for anyone wanting to run the Shadowbringers one to get 2B cosmetics they didn't manage to get last expansion... but that is a dwindling crowd (even if it does include me for the raids after the first one - I'll just get that "eventually").
