Let's talk about Alliance roulette and ilvl cheese for a sec.

it is simple to do such... with your character level, put ILEVEL restriction on Alliance Roulette based out from the level on the job you queu in for if you are level 60 and want to use it for XP then to be able to queu in you need the minimum ilevel for Dun Scaith... you can do that easy and the system of ilevel locks is in the game already and these are very much working as intended.

Simple as that... then you cant just drop all your gear but weapon and queu in alliance roulette, but would need to queu in at the minimum ilevel for your tiers max level 24 man raid at at least the minimum ilevel.

And nope, don't come at and say it would be too difficult all the gear needed can be bought for poetic tomes in which is the general gear currency for below level 90 gear.

This wouldn't fix it. As is, my alts never unlock anything beyond the 2.0 raids. Regardless of iLVL requirements, they will never get 3.0 onwards for the raid roulette.

And I imagine many players are not so interested in raids similarly would prefer not to. My wife is a good example, she did some raids once to see the story, and has regretted unlocking them because there's nothing she wants or needs in them, yet she wants to do roulettes and get XP. She simply hasn't done 4.0 or 5.0 raids and basically never will. I doubt she will touch 6.0. Especially because she can watch me do them and I am happy to replay the story for her via the inn.

Simply doing iLVL requirements and cheesing is not the only issue. Some people just don't want to even unlock the later raids, and there isn't a need to force them to.

And again, beating the remaining pulp of what was a horse, the chance of getting the 2.0 raids are simply the highest because they are required for MSQ progression. Newer players are mostly going to just keep plowing through the story once they hit 50, then 60 and so on without stopping to do in between content until they've exhausted the MSQ. And then? Do they really even want to do Ivalis? really? As opposed to the tons of other side content available to unlock?

Sure, eventually. But in the meantime, it's CT series all day all night until they decide to do otherwise. It's not an exploit if they choose not to unlock optional content.
