Speaking for myself, Ivalice is at a point where you can't give me enough reward to queue into it, unless the reward for it is large enough that it would actually obsolete CT the same Preato obsoleted Castrum.


Another problem with the various suggestion of somehow exclude CT seem to have this assumption that the players will just let themselves goad into whatever direction you want to push them. For example, do you think removing CT from Alliance roulette will make someone like me go "oh, guess I have to go unlock the other raid I hate so much now"? No, the most likely outcome would be I just decide to ignore Alliance roulette altogether.
This is exactly why if you drop out if you get Ivalice you lose your rewards for the day. There's no issue in dropping if you have to, but if you sign up for a roulette, you need to be ready to get anything in that roulette. If you try to dodge, then you also lose the rewards from the roulette. Sometimes people do need the stick. I def think a good portion of the playerbase would put up with it TBH. Maybe not you, but enough, since theyre gonna want the rewards for that day.
