The Alliance roulette is unbearable

[Ronduwil]

The rest of your post makes no sense. If I queue for Nier and while I'm waiting, someone takes off their gear and queues alliance roulette, at worst they remove up to 23 players from the pool who could potentially fill my queue. At best they drop into a party that's already forming and there's one less player who could fill my queue. Neither situation helps my queue. Stop defending a bad system, it's no longer random if someone can skew it to one set of raids.

I don't think you understand how that works. Those 23 players from the pool could not potentially have filled your queue, or they would have queued into your raid first. The reason your Nier raid is taking forever to fill is that most players at that level are currently running Endwalker premades. I queued into two Nier raids and only one CT raid this week alone. I don't know why you have to be so resentful over a level 50 player poaching potential candidates from you. It's a first-come-first-serve system. If you queue for a Nier raid, the roulette will start filling your raid with qualified candidates. Of course, no one is going to do that because there's no point right now. In contrast, players will queue for CT raids explicitly because it's an integral part of the storyline at this point.

To be clear, you're describing two different scenarios here:
1. This thread's original complaint cited a scenario where a player was queueing for the roulette and was finding themselves in CT more often than not. If, in fact, the trick of equipping 130 gear in order to deliberately queue into CT raids exclusively was as widespread as suggested, then the opposite phenomena would be observed: all the CT raid slots would be occupied with exploiters and the character in 560 gear would find themselves funneled into the higher level raids more often than not. This suggests to me that the real issue is that no one is using the duty finder to queue for Nier raids. They put up an ad on the Party Finder instead.

2. The scenario you just described where you explicitly queued for Nier. In that case, your raid would admittedly take longer to fill because other players were deliberately making themselves unavailable to it. In this case, I contend that the current system is better than alternatives. Assuming SE does what you want, two things are going to happen: Fewer players are going to queue period. The ones that do queue will simply abandon the duty as soon as they see they've queued into your Nier raid and try their luck again in a half hour. You're not going to improve anything. You'll just end up pissing even more people off.
