The Alliance roulette is unbearable

[OskarXCI]

I have been avoiding the Alliance raid roulette since they made CT mandatory for the MSQ. I rather get EXP from other sources, even if it's less efficient.

I would start doing the roulette again if they moved the CT raids to the Main Scenario roulette instead. Will never happen but one can dream.

I just wish they would give the other raids more weight in determining where people, who queue through the roulette, will be distributed. Several of my FC buddies had trouble getting the Ivalice raids for the first time even though they sat in queue for over an hour. This happens because the roulette is there to make content pop for people that queue directly for something, in most cases for CT since it's required for MSQ. We managed to get the Ivalice raids to pop relatively quickly (less than 2 min) after we made a premade party with 6 people but you shouldn't have to do this just to experience the story at your own pace, solo.

It reminds me of how the Frontline roulette was before they changed it into a daily rotation. All maps were included in the roulette but the sheer amount of people that queued directly for Fields of Glory (Shatter) made it near impossible to get Seal Rock (Seize) or Borderland Ruins (Secure) to pop. Why only Shatter? It was the latest map and had the reputation of being the only one active so the majority of people never bothered with the other maps. The achievements on the other maps were effectively out of reach.
