And so on, but also imply a condition that checks again that the raids that have been unlocked.

It's really that simple.

The real issue here isn't ilevel manipulation now. It's the fact that some people will use characters(or queue in a party with characters) that have only unlocked CT. Which is an issue anyways because there's a literal FC on Aether advertising that it's got characters made just for that purpose(and these characters won't even level up because they'll leave the duty after queueing in). I'm sure more people will catch on eventually too.

And again, this is just to show that this solution was poorly thought out.

The better solution was to force anyone looking to use alliance roulette to have unlocked at least two full alliance raid series(doesn't have to be Shadow of Mhach, could be Ivalice, Yorha, Myths) AND change the roulette rewards to scale based on how many raids total were unlocked. So at the minimum you would only get 6/15 * the old alliance raid roulette rewards.

Nobody wanted that though, so now we can deal with this mess, which still has some of the same issues.
Oh thats a good solution for it. Also didnt realize there were players being that stupidly petty
