coincidentally, EVERY Ivalice or Void Ark raid has a first time bonus.
We are on the same data center. Out of curiosity, when during the day are you queueing for alliance roulette?

People cheesing doesn't help though. If you have ever sat in a specific queue that was almost full, and watched most of the members who are in a non-specific queue get sucked out right as you're about to fill, it's due to cheesers weighting the queue toward Crystal Tower. You could have sat in your queue for 30 minutes and be almost ready to roll, and then zip, people weight the queue toward CT and all the people in Alliance Roulette who would qualify for the duty you want to do get thrown into CT.

This also deprives new players of a reasonably fast queue into duties they've never done before, making it harder for them to do Mhach, Ivalice, etc.

So as a result of you just seeing it one way, you've revealed how much you don't actually know.
It's true, I dont know any more than my experience can tell me since I dont have access to any relevant data. But neither do you. My assumption is that queue cheesing will only have a very small effect on the roulette because vastly more people are doing CT for MSQ than the others which are as you know optional.

I can return the "read the post" right back at you. Those CT raids would have happened anyway in my experience because some new player needed them for msq as evidenced by the first time completion bonus being active.
