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

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.

So you are telling me the raid that new players come first across, that is one of the two only possible alliance raids in free trial, that is mandatory for msq has no higher demand other than people who cheese ilvl and don't unlock other raids? You do realize how silly that sounds, right? Or well reads since nothing "sounds" here.

More LotA & Sycus Tower.
I like my exp & tomestone grinds to be fast and easy....so that I can more quickly gear and level for the harder content.

Its not gonna happen, but Id advocate for Hardmode Alliance Roulette. (name pending)
Separate CT & Mhach raids from Ivalice & Nier Raids. They arnt hard...just take longer. Plus more exp and tomestone opportunities.

CT is not MSQ, and hasn't been since 2.1. Besides real MSQ need the queue just as it is. could they do a alliance 50-70 breakout? sure.

It sadly is, you have to beat the entire CT series to progress the story now.

I don't even bother with Alliance Raid anymore. After getting nothing but Lab and Tower, I just don't bother any longer. I'm tired of seeing people intentionally downgrade their ilvl just to get easy dungeons. If you have such a problem with your job in a raid, perhaps stop doing this to the 23 others that don't want to be there and go learn what you are playing.

Anymore, I just queue for what I want to raid and do without the 'rewards' that I can easily make up elsewhere.

you recognize ur experience is whole unlike what other people are reporting, correct? and yes, i queue for what i want as well. which is why i don't queue for ally raids. do you think i need to queue for leveling roulettes or mentor roulettes when my jobs are at 90? the rewards are meaningless. that said, if i queue for alliance roulettes, i expect alliance raid roulettes, not crystal tower roulettes.

CT was never MSQ until 5.x lol.

It is not msq tho. It is required to continue the main story but is not part of the main story.

this is a sematic argument and completely worthless

It is still a fact.

He is right, there is indeed a higher demand for CT and many reasons it can pop even if everyone in the group has completed the one time mandatory msq run and there are no “strippers”.
- unlocking other raids is 100% optional. Many people don’t unlock them and you can’t blame them as it is how the game is currently designed;
- there are many quests between the time one completes CT and the time it becomes possible to unlock the next tier and an even longer time before the other ones;
- ftp players are limited to CT and (I think but I am not sure) optional HW raids;
- even with 100% of the raids unlocked, some players may be levelling a different job and they are between lvl 50-59;
- some quests require extra CT runs (i.e Bozja);
- some weirdoes may queue CT just because;
- sheer luck (or lack of).

It’s not hard to understand as all the above is cumulative on CT demand. In the end, CT is just 15 mins and the roulette is optional. You can queue for something else after. That’s what I do if I want to run a raid.
