How to Restore Confidence in FFXIV

For 10 points: how to say you are not playing on Materia without saying you're not on Materia

It's my general understanding that people are still struggling to queue into the latest story trial for Mt. Ordeals and all alliance raids except Crystal Tower across all datacenters. With how lacklustre the moogle rewards are for this patch, I doubt its doing too much to push people to do the NieR raids either.

That's funny, I have no problem getting the new Alliance raids to pop at all any day of the week. Granted I also play during prime time on Crystal, but that would throw your argument out completely just by itself. As another said, unfortunately the NM of a story trial always ends up being hard to get a group for towards the end of a patch cycle. There's no rewards and no reason for people to go back to it aside from getting it in their roulettes.

As for any Alliance Raids other than the new ones, well that has also always been a problem. Too many people cheat the system to make sure they only get the CT raids from the roulette, on top of the people who only have the CT raids unlocked, ends up resulting in everyone just getting the CT raids. There isn't much SE can do about this except maybe making unlocking all Alliance Raids a requirement and calculating your ilvl based off the highest ilvl gear you have in your inventory for the job you are queuing with. Unfortunately, this could be abused by tossing it onto Retainers since those storages are only active when queried.
