Please fix the “naked queueing” for Aliance Raids

[Vahlnir]

I was pleasantly surprised when I did Alliance roulette the past few days. Not once did I get a CT raid. I got Nier twice, Void Ark once and Ivalice a few times. I personally blame it on requiring CT for MSQ but I also greatly dislike those who exploit this. I've always believed those who click on the roulette should be required to be the minimum ilvl of the first in the highest series raids they can access. For example if you're starting RPR/SGE at 70, the Alliance roulette wont allow you in unless you're at minimum ilvl or higher for Rabanastre. If you're 60, same deal except the required ilvl would be the minimum for Void Ark.

That would eliminate the ability to exploit just a bit.

In addition though, dont yall think since CT is required for MSQ that it should be moved to MSQ roulette? Just sayin.

They have been funneling us into CT for years, even long before it was made a requirement for the MSQ. A lot of people are just...over it.

Here is a very easy fix I made during my lunch break and I'm neither a game developer nor a multimillion company:

- If job level > 50 -> minimum required Ilevel for queueing in Alliance Roulette = 50
- If job level > 60 -> minimum required Ilevel for queueing in Alliance Roulette = 175
- If job level > 70 -> minimum required Ilevel for queueing in Alliance Roulette = 305
- If job level > 80 -> minimum required Ilevel for queueing in Alliance Roulette = 435

That way, every expansion milestone you guarantee that the player will at least have to queue for the 1st raid of that expansion + all previous raids.

Since this topic is from way back in 2020 and nothing has been done about this very easy to fix in 10 minute problem we just have to assume the devs don't care about this and exploiting the system is allowed.

This will also give incentive for people to unlock the raids too especially if a larger bonus is given for doing higher level raids.

^ Oh shut up with that.

It's not "cheese," it's one player hijacking the entire queue and making decisions for 23 others. I gave up on queueing for Puppet Bunker tonight (wanted to run for glamours) after waiting 37 minutes tonight because of this shit.

It's an old raid now so a lot less people are running it - just like you, it's just for glam now and the majority of people already got everything from there. It doesn't really have anything to do with CT cheesers.

considering it's in the roulette and still has extremely lengthy cues because a ton of potential candidates are just... not able to be picked for it, that's exactly the issue.

I don't cheese it with ilvl and idk any that do. Plenty people the same as me. Not really worth posting about, if people don't wanna do the longer ones that is their business.

Im level 74 and still in HW. So i dont think that purely going for job lvl is the solution. I would at least take the MSQ level to set a cap on this. So in my case im considered lvl60, because i simply cant get anything better for any event i can do anyway (even if i have better gear, its always going to be capped).

Single queuing for a raid to get a glam is NOT the same thing as exploiting the ilvl requirement for the ROULETTE to get into a raid so you get your rewards faster.

I am confused what the actual problem is?

[PrimeAnubis]

I can’t believe people are seriously defending this

It's because you're not even making a strong argument. The most probable cause for long queue times is not enough people do the content or maybe you should switch your class from DPS to Healer/Tank to make queue times shorter for you?

[SonjaRampage]

If I just want the exp then why would I want to waste an hour+ goofing around in nier raids. Not getting q pop? Form in pf.

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.
