Alliance Raid Looting

[kaynide]

Or, you can also say it boils down to the true end game (glam) requires some effort. It's just a difference kind of effort.

Glam farm is still a battle when the content is relevant. Sure, the queue may be faster, but you also have to deal with weekly lock out, more competition, and the fight generally take longer. And in case of Ivalice, it was a LOT longer, there is a reason a lot of people depart Ivalice and never want to look back (me included), that place hold ... bad memories.


So if you luck suck, you can theoretically spend the same amount of real time getting something you want from it, be it now or back then.

While true, you do also have options.

My point was to remove as many variables as possible.
Long queues? Try to run at peak hours.
Competitive for drops? Low man it unsync’d with friends. Need not even finish the full raid.

You can remove many variables and leave it to straight RNG.
