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

[Kaurhz]

I have alts, which will never unlock anything but the CT raid series, because MSQ.

There are new players who are not interested in running old raids (and possibly not even the new ones). And aside from glamours, why should they ever unlock them?

If any of these characters run the roulette, they will never get anything but the CT series.


The only way to make it reasonable is to up the difficulty of CT to be on par with 3.x/4.x, but that is something the devs have said they’d rather not do, as CT could very well be a player’s first time to EVER play with actually other humans in party. It is meant to be baby’s first raid.

With all due respect, players shouldn't be disproportionately placed in a particular series of raids in the roulette either, purely because they elected to take, what is quite possibly the most poorly executed decision-making that they've done in a long, long time. Let me posit the other question to you -- Why should people be consistently nigh on placed in the same instance, or a subset of instances time, and time again, and all because SE thought it was a glorious decision to overextend the amount of content tied to the Crystal Tower? Yes, it takes 1 person to force 23 other people into a particular instance, and this becomes a problem when said instances have too much content tied to them.

Your first two opening statements already highlight why it is a very clear issue, and why said decisions were abysmal. One is designed so that it is a requisite for the MSQ, and well the latter part of your statement infers that people do not want to do them, and have only done so on the basis that it is a requirement for the story. [Edit: When it comes to something such as the alliance raids, players should be encouraged to participate across them all, equally.]

There is no universe where their current situation is good wrt alliance raids.
