Please fix the “naked queueing” for Aliance Raids

[Kewitt]

I agree, I am sick of getting the same place 90% of the time.
The requirement for gearing up should be every slot full. With all gear being min ilevel if you are using the roulette function.

I don't know many people that keep 1 full sets of gear one of max level and 1 at 55 ish..

If that was a requirement they would do it. I know I would. Why would anyone want to do something that takes 50% longer for the same or nearly the same xp.

Only solution that will fix it is make the XP/Time ratio worth it. Atm CT/Lab is the best xp/hr for alliance raids so people are going to do it. If the total xp was balanced people would not really care. Just like most people like pretorium even know castrum is alot faster in main story. It is because the xp is drastically higher to make up for the longer instance. Same thing would happen with alliance roulette. If all fights gave equivalent reward for effort and time spent then people would que up hoping to get the one with most reward which should be the longer harder ones... aka Stormblood and Current.

Because this is a video game, and I enjoy doing mechanics. I also prefer the environment and music of the later raids. Not everything has to be about ONE HUNDRED PERCENT MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY

That includes queue times, so don't see why you're complaining about them.

That’s a complete false equivalency. For one thing, the queue times directly impact NEW players. I for one have seen numerous posts on Reddit, here, and comments in my FC chat about absurdly (hour+) long queue times for specific alliance raids. Also, I am not complaining. I am simply asking for an exploit that affects OTHER players to be fixed. I would say that’s a pretty reasonable thing to post on the forums about, thank you very much.

I do alliance raids for the xp so I can get my jobs up to the level to do endgame content. The journey has been done already, the content is negated and old, it is something I done 50+ times already. The quicker I can get to endgame and relevant content with my job I am leveling the better. Honestly it is Different Mindsets between people.

This is why I said balance it. If say Rabanstre for example gave better xp then Crystal Tower since it is harder and takes a whole lot longer, I would prefer that honestly. And the people with my mind set would as well. The fact the xp per raid is about even outside maby boss kill xp which is too low to matter is the problem.

I understand why people who want the experience would want it, but to me that is torturing myself for no reason. Would be like working an 12hr job for they pay I would get in an 8hr job doing almost the same thing.

I've also seen numerous and funnily enough, half of them are people trying to queue outside of prime hours. Not even to mention the ones trying to queue in the middle of the night on their region.

I've had hour+ long queues when trying to do specific ones for glamour, at prime time NA. As any role. I'm in agreement that the queue needs to be fixed and have it so ALL available raids are selected regardless of what gear someone queues wearing/not wearing.

Like you said, different mindsets. But the fact of the matter is that a different mindset does not give one a free pass to EXPLOIT the game in a way that directly affects other players.

And? People play the game at different times. Some people can ONLY play during non-peak hours. This exploit affects queue times at ALL times of day, even moreso for people who can only play later at night or early morning. That just makes me point even more valid.

The fact of the matter is that we do have a free pass. And what's wrong with EXPLOITING the game? The reason for coming together in a raid is mutual benefit. What's wrong making full use of that benefit?
