The Alliance roulette is unbearable

[Packetdancer]

Please please please pray, add an ilvl requirement to this roulette that scales with the job level of the person queuing for it.

It honestly won't matter that much, I fear.

The Crystal Tower raids are required for MSQ now, and must be done before you can get into Heavensward; every person playing the game will have them unlocked, and I would not be surprised if the story-skip also unlocks them as a result. This includes even the free trial players, since they have to do those raids in order to continue on to Heavensward, which is part of the free trial up to level 60 of the award-winning... you know the rest.

In contrast, the Shadows of Mhach raids at level 60 are not required for anything, so many people never get around to picking them up. The YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse raids at level 80 aren't required for anything either, and many people thus didn't unlock them... and moreover, the free trial users can't even get to those.

The Ivalice raids at level 70 are required for Bozja and the Resistance relics, but not everyone out there wanted to do the relics... and like the level 80 ones, free trial users can't get to those anyway.

This means a huge number of players will only have the Crystal Tower raids unlocked, even when at level 90, because those are required for MSQ progression where none of the others are. So even if you solved ilevel cheesing -- and don't get me wrong, the way this game handles ilevel is kinda broken -- Crystal Tower would still massively dominate that roulette regardless.

Which makes me sad, because I actually enjoy the other raids, and always have a moment of "oh thank the Twelve" any time I get a raid that isn't Crystal Tower in the roulette.

Oh I love it too, full skillset time.

Got puppet bunker 3 days ago like 4 people dropped right away.

Dropping is kind of silly because you'll likely get put right back in.

Saw this happen LOTS of times with Titania and Steps of Faith. Like dude you dropped 3 times already, DF is making you stay.

Can be made to work like expert but based on job level to be honest. Level 50 require all CT raids and enough ILvL for all and so on. The whole idea of roulettes it's to provide enough bodies to keep it going in exchange for a reward after all.

Correct, i bought the skip that put me into first shadowbringers quest, and it unlocks all 3 CT raids (but not the completion item quest).
