Please fix the “naked queueing” for Aliance Raids

[kejakalope]

My question is, why are you upset that people don't wanna do 60+ raids? I personally enjoy the 70 raids for the music but still would prefer to just get the alliance raid out of the way since I'm looking for a fast run for my exp/tomes.

Because they actively block me from doing those raids, which I want to do, by forcing the queue to always align with their preference and never with mine, despite that it is ostensibly intended to impartially serve both of us.

It's wild to actually get something like Orbonne in your raid roulette and watch all the people who have only ever spammed syrcus tower endlessly die repeatedly because they can't handle any of the mechanics.

I've seen mentors use this trick and not equip their gear before entering the raid, MENTORS.

As a former mentor, I’m not entirely surprised by this. I didn’t do naked queueing - but Ive actively avoided certain duties by ducking out completely and taking the 30 min penalty instead. Seen plenty of others do the same. It’s no surprise there are people who want easier and faster instances.

I witnessed a miracle yesterday!

I actually got in my favourite raid, Wiping City, via Roulette!

Did we wipe?
Once, at Yadis, which is to be expected.

Was it fun?
Oh you bet it was!! x3
I love it.

I miss wiping city. I never get it. It's either any of the CT raids or sometimes orbonne, once every blue moon. I never see a void ark raid of any kind, or a nier raid.

I've been getting Void Ark all week, which is... probably the weakest post-ARR raid. God I'd love to see Wiping City again. Haven't seen it in months.

I hear ya!

I really dont understand why people hate it.

People tend to forget mechanics, so what? One wipe, one 3xplanation and everything is fine.

Because the whole point of a roulette is VARIATION. if I wanted to run the same thing over and over and over, I would just use Trusts or queue for the highest available dungeon. especially in Endwalker since they give a ton of exp.

Because I would rather spend an extra 10-15 minutes actually enjoying the raid than dreading my 10000000000 run of Crystal Tower. Last expansion, I straight refused to touch Alliance for several months simply because I was sick to death of LotA and Srycus Tower

Yea how dare new players try to queue up for the mandatory crystal tower raids. In my experience there is pretty much always the first time completion bonus active so those runs would have happened anyway even if no one did gear cheesing.

The point of roulettes is to fill up duties for new players. I've done many alliance raid runs recently and I dont remember getting any of the crystal tower raids without also having the first time completion bonus active.
