To the one who left the CT Alliance before we even started...

So, let me get this straight... you want to not get one of the fastest and easiest roulette AR's?

Sanity comes first.

Shockingly, some people want to have fun playing the video game Final Fantasy 14. Unfortunately, when a roulette only gives you three possible results out of what, 13 now? alliance raids 99% of the time it stops being fun. Especially when literally every jobs rotation at 50 is such boring garbage that people would rather leave than spam 1-2-3 for 10 minutes straight with absolutely 0 real mechanics going out. Why be bored out of your mind for 10 minutes when you can have fun for 30 minutes?

You can brag all you want about how you did a good deed this one time, but the moment you brag about it is the moment it stops being a good deed.

Someone needs to learn the difference between experience based examples and bragging. Not to mention that you attacked me in the first place, though i have to admit your attack made no sense since as i said i do in roulette what i have to do so you turning my own argument against me makes no sense at all. Not in the slightest. Not even as a leading argument towards your last point which is indeed a valid one since there are people who lower their itemlevel so you had a valid point but you did choose to basically lead with a personal attack that made no sense which devalued your last valid point.

To explain it a bit further:

I said if you don't like what you get for roulette then queue for the raid you actually want to run.

To which you answer "If you like CT so much why don't you queue for it specifically".

Which basically rejects all logic, cause A) this would mean i trigger specifically CT runs, which would work clearly to your disadvantage cause i would force roulette players into a raid i clearly don't need to run specifically and B) we talked about Roulette and i do anything Roulette gives me no matter if CT or Nier or the Void Series or Ivalice but some fellas here don't want to do that to get the rewards.

So i do what it takes, what the game expects, to get my rewards for helping other players out. Thus you saying "But you want your sweet rewards" which was my point makes no sense cause i do what it needs to get these rewards. So turning that point against me makes no sense, you should never lead with a specific attack against one specific person into a point that surrounds multiple people. Since as you see now i can or well could use your attack on me as a way to negate your really valid last point.

So next time use your valid argument first and not at the end. And don't try to counter with some emotional attacks, especially if they don't make sense.

Ilvl syncs. 90 for lota, 110 for CT. Make people do mechanics again lol.

This would be the best way to fix it. It'd change it from people wanting CT so they can be braindead to people wanting anything but CT because of how many possibly new people there are that could cause wipes, thus forcing all alliance raids into play.

So people who don't want to run Mhach/Ivalice/Nier/Aglaia should only manually queue for the Crystal Tower series. I'm glad you understand my point!

I don't bother running the roulette anymore because I know I won't end up in fun content, and as the great Reggie once said: if it's not fun, why bother?

[Mika_Zahard]

Willful ignorance is always funny.

Stop complaining. I have gotten all kinds of AR in the past days, including Tower, Orbonne and Lighthouse.

It's going to be nice the first time then you will realize 80% why they are boring is being 50 with 3 or 4 spells.

Obviously, we are on the same page on this basically. I am also against lowering your stats to basically just run CT raids. Same as i am against anything that would prevent CT runs or people leaving them cause they don't like these raids.

It is just good to understand that even if SE would remove the itemlevel trick CT runs would be still in higher demand cause of some reasons. Which would be:

A) People who only unlocked CT raids will trigger with their roulette only CT (To prevent this maybe make all raids, just not the latest, mandatory for roulette?)

B) CT is in higher demand cause it's mandatory for MSQ

C) First raid newbies come across

D) The only raid automatically unlocked by the story boost from the store

[game_enjoyer]

yeah i'm all for helping new players prog but there are not enough new players queuing for CT to justify 9/10 ally raids going to CT. people are exploiting a loophole that forces 23 other players into content they don't want to run, all in the name of a "quick and easy run." bet those people would make excellent mentors, eh

Don't forget that there's also the Bozja relics which have you running CT 15 times for one of the steps (and making that one repeat on a second relic was the stupidest fucking idea they've had when there was a step that required Mhach and Ivalice), but the problem with that is that in order to even unlock Bozja and its relics you need to get through Rab, Lighthouse and Orbonne which is pretty rough when the roulette is constantly prioritizing CT, causing queue times to be stupidly long.

The only possible solutions I can think of is either having CT get it's own separate roulette with lowered exp rewards, since it would be popping rather often.
Or making it so that you need all the alliance raids unlocked, and then having the roulette prioritize filling higher level ARs which would probably end up in longer queue times overall.

[OM3GA-Z3RO]

there is a higher demand for CT runs.

Complete BS

People either don't unlock the later raids or they ilvl cheese the hell out of it. The number of times I have gotten Circus Tower without a notification that "A new player hasn't completed this duty yet" pop up is too much.

They need to fix this problem that they have made because making CT raids compulsory killed the other later alliance raids.
