Please fix the “naked queueing” for Aliance Raids

[Menriq]

Take the full timer.. if the timer says you have 1hr 30min to clear the content on the hardest one.. then don't queue for it unless you can give that 1hr and 30min timer to try an complete it

I think you misunderstand. The timer for alliance raid has never come into the equation the entire time I've played FFXIV. It's about the time invested versus the reward. I could walk to work, ride my bike, or drive. I would fathom most people would drive because it's the quickest and easiest way to get where I'm going with the least amount of time involved. If I'm running AR because of the XP, it would make sense to try and get the quickest run in versus spending more time to get the same reward. That's not even taking into account the bonus if you are trying to work on ShB relics and get get the loathsome memories for a run as well.

Yeah but driving to work your going to obey traffic laws(I would hope) bypassing the randomness of the roulette is basically running every red light you see. Your also forgetting that the HW and StB raids add to the ShB relic as well and that you get more drops for the relic doing Bozja then the 1 drop you get from the raid.

Should the rewards be better for the harder ones.. sure.. but with the way people cheese the current one do we really deserve more and not just a change of system to fix the current bug?

I'm not disagreeing on the Bozja gets more drops. I'm just saying, it's an added bonus on top of the quick and easy runs to get the lower raids. I'm sure if the rewards for getting the higher raids scaled as well, it might not be as big of a deal, although you might open a new can of worms and have people leave if they get a lower one like they do for MSQ.

Loathsome memories are making some people seek out CT raids in addition to sprouts but I highly doubt that's a lot of people at this point.

HW and SB alliance raids are only for a one time step where the alternative has been massively buffed. Bozja is not nearly as alive anymore and castrum specifically has way less people knowing what to do at this point since it's not great exp. After most people had farmed the one time step, queues for those raids died down pretty quickly.
