why the crystal tower raids are still part of the roulette?

Don't forget those who said they were quitting but low and behold they're still here paying a sub and creating threads on the forum.

those ones.. the ones that complain about literally everything... I have no words of description for to be honest. thats not love for a game, its something else and likely requires a professional and an intervention...

I don't mind.

I would rather do a quick semi AFK 15 minutes CT than waste my precious time in a Nier raid.

wy you even play games then? its sound like you hate the game as you want to play as less as you can

[magitekLuna]

But haven't you heard? The only people who actually enjoy the game are the ones who endlessly complain about it, everyone else is a bunch of Yoshi-worshipping sheep high on copium.

not the point. time and time people bring that they like to play dungeons/raids/trials as less time as possible to do other things. not in game as i get it. or just afk in limsa.

The only alliance raid I will actually just leave is Copied Factory. I'm trying to have fun, not die of boredom. Crystal Tower could have it's max ilv decreased to make it more fun, but tbh I've never understood why some people have such a strong hatred for it. Copied Factory is much worse. I'd rather beat up lv 50 bosses and be out in around 20min than be stuck in the Copium Factory with Engels for 40.

I will take ANY OTHER RAID over getting CT for the umpteenth time and suddenly see a bunch of hp bars empty out before the gate drops. Like lately I've seen too many live nudes in LoTA. Please put some clothes on before you get out of your moghouse.

magitekLuna's entire post history at this point is starting to sound like "I want YoshiP to personally break into every newbie's house and shoot them in the head for daring to inconvenience me".

No, being seriously, while I agree the ways people exploit roulette is a problem, there is still a strong point that even in a perfect world where everyone has every single raid roulette unlocked, the bottom denominator would always be the most common by a wide margin, by nature of being the bottom denominator, if you removed CT, Shadows of Mnach would be most common, and you'd get people complaining that they've done Dun Scaith 200 times already and they are tired of it, and what you do then? every roulette has this issue, 50/60/70/80 and leveling roulette are predominantly ARR content, normal roulettes is predominantly Alexander, there isn't really a way to give you the fix you want, it'd be just a temporary solution.

What the hell are you talking about?

Hating doing some specific Semi-AFK content for easy XP = Hating the game?

You do know Alliance Raids are a joke right? The majority of people don't give a flying f. I'm sorry if thats peak gameplay for you lmao...

And I don't want to play "the less I can", I want to do the things I actually want instead of waste 40 minutes in a Nier raid when I can get the same experience from a 15 min Crystal Tower raid. That's 25 minutes I could be doing retainers, subs, EX trials, beast tribes, etc.

Yeah. I only stay for the music when I get Copied Factory.

Pretty sure the Tataru quests will continue to add in the requirement for the alliance raids, which considering it in itself is side content, will probably limit the number of "why are these raids required" responses...but there will still be a lot who complain that the quest is locked behind raids.

8 mans, too. I don't remember if the Live Letter specifically mentioned it would be required but given who they showed I wouldn't be surprised if that series was required to do first.

I do not particularly mind them, though I do prefer when one of the other raids pop up (I seem to be one of the few who likes the Nier raids haha) and it would be nice if they could somehow make non-CT raids more likely, given how people will cheat to get quicker runs. Honestly, I think I would like them to rework CT into 4-man content with Duty support in the future, given how they are mandatory unlike all the other raids.
