    Also, I know how the queue works because I have the powers of observation and have thoroughly and extensively tested queue weighting to get people through content who have sat in a partial queue waiting hours for it to fill.

    All it takes is to understand which roles are likely to queue a generic roulette and then to assume the roles that fill.
    I've been playing for 1 and half years now so I'm glad for any experiences before that especially. In any case I am very much for solving the cause instead of the symptoms and the cause is that later alliance raids are much worse in terms of time vs reward. I've said it earlier in this thread already, essentially making all alliance raids mandatory could just drive massive amounts of people away from alliance roulette, which wouldnt help queues on non CT-raids but would also make CT queues worse. There needs to be a careful balance for time vs reward in the roulette so that people dont care about which alliance raid they get (and dont just flip towards the opposite of abandoning CT raids on sight). I genuinely do not believe it has anything to do with difficulty because to this day we have wipes in WoD.

    Leveling jobs takes long enough already, we really dont need to nerf the exp gained from alliance raid across the board. IMO we need a 'buff, dont nerf' approach here. But I'm glad we agree that the balance of time vs reward between the different alliance raids is off.
