Alliance raid fix?

[Reinha]

it would be so trivially easy for someone to do this and just have the alt instant leave the moment the black screen vanishes before half the people have loaded in

So long as CT is still by far and above the best exp - time ratio for the roulette, people will always find ways to game the system.

Yes it's trivially easy, but no, people will not game the system except for a small handful. All of these revenge fantasies about leveling alts are just empty threats and blowing off steam. The reality is that most people are not willing to complete a series of easy repetitive tasks for delayed gratification. The fact that all fc cottages have not been bought by individuals wanting their 4 personal submarines that would print free gil until servers shut down is proof of that. Similarly people are not going to level a whole new alt just to shave off 15 minutes in their alliance roulette. It's faster and easier to not do the roulette at all, or to take a penalty if it's not CT. There are already people saying they'll just stop queuing.

Even in this thread alone, you can already see people ready to offer their 'CT taxi services' the moment this goes into effect.

Queuing with other people is an intended feature of the game, so nobody's mad about that. Cheesers didn't do that though, and that's because taking your gear off is easier than talking to people or waiting for them to be online. If this change gets people to be more social then it's even better for the game than I thought.
