Alliance Roulette means Cyrstal Tower

You could fix some of the issue with a change in requirements and a sliding scale. Some roulettes only let you que when everything on the list is unlocked. If that could be adapted here, then being level 60 means you now need to unlock the shadows of mhach series to use the roulette. And the sliding ilvl scale would also mean that level 60 player couldnt que with gear below i235. Repeat at 70 with the ivalice line and ilvl 365, and again at 80 with the nier line and ilvl 495. You would still see the highest percentage of raids being CT raids just because any player doing alliance on a 50-59 level class would be locked into them, and thus whoever they were paired with would be along for the ride. The people determined to cheat would probly start teaming up and making sure they always had someone below 60 in their group before queing, but it would at least be a step in the right direction.

Sliding scale sounds like a good option and likely the only one thats reasonable to implement. I have extreme contempt for people who deliberately lower ilvl to get into those boring lame raids; the tedium the Crystal Tower series provide only serves to make them feel even longer than the other ones, so is it really even a win? I suppose the sliding scale would be tied to the job you wish to queue up as, so that for example when you reach level 80 on one job and then go to unlock samurai you can still join the crystal tower despite not having the item level on that job for the level 80 job's requirement

You'll run into an issue on this, due to SE allowing people to level out of the expansion they are on. I have a friend right now, who was lvl 60 before starting Heaven's ward, and is over 70 and just now starting Stormblood.
They have not finished Alexander, and have not unlocked the 2nd set of alliance raids.

Not because they want to cheese the roulette, but because they have so much to do. Most of the time we don't even run the Alliance Raid Roulette due to it being so late after them running MSQ. The ilvl part would probably be the way to go with it. My friend can afford the Crafted gear that would allow them to run the Ivalice line, but isn't there story wise yet.
