Alliance raid fix?

[Tracewood]

Why do I get this sinking feeling in my gut that says "even with the changes...you'll still get CT"?

I think the workaround is someone will make an alt just for CT, keep it at 50 and create a premade party before queuing for alliance raid. The alt will probably AFK while the invitee plays. Once it hits level 60, delete and repeat.

I mean, if people want to put that much effort into it, I think that's fair enough. It's certainly a lot more work than just taking off your gear before queuing up and I don't think most people will be willing to do it.

What one could theoretically do is not the same as what is otherwise pragmatic. This isn't really practical for 99% of people.

It would actually be less time consuming to learn how to play.

ROFL!

You seriously underestimate my ineptitude!

Alternatively, people who only care about endgame raiding and nothing else will make alts that just won't have any other raids unlocked at all. If it turns out to JUST be an ilvl requirement, it won't be a problem at all for people who don't care about other raids and never unlocked them, so theyll meet their level's ilvl requirement, but still be put in CT because it's only one they have.

Huh? Why delete at 60? You would still have to do the quests to unlock the raids, to get them in your roulette, wouldn't you?

Like, I had a White Mage at level 90 before I was even fully done Shadowbringers. You're telling me if I queued in Alliance Raid roulette under this system, I could have been thrown into Aglaia or Euphrosyne? In my level 80 gear? Not having even started Endwalker yet?

Why go to that much effort when all someone needs to do is not unlock the other Alliance raids?

No need to unlock Sky Pirates unless you want to do Tataru's Grand Adventure.

No need to unlock Ivalice unless you want to do the Resistance relics.

No need to unlock YoRHa.

No need to unlock Myths of the Realm.

Yep, this.

Infact I might even make a level 50 alt and offer my services in the party finder. Guaranteed quick CT for a small gil fee. You'd probably make bank.
