Alliance Raid Now iLvl Locked, Why??

[Toutatis]

A problem caused by the player base..

It’s more a problem caused by SE’s design choice. Other raids are optional by design and you can’t blame people for not unlocking them. (I have all raids unlocked btw and never removed my gear to get CT)

Making all raids mandatory now would require a lot of people to play lengthy questlines and spend considerable time in queue. To a new player, this game has a lot of content and it’s not like unlocking a new raid every 6 months or so. It they want to make ARs mandatory, they would have to do it in stages or they’d kill the roulette.

They can also ensure that there are incentives to unlock them and that the raid quests are easy to identify. I have come across many players that didn’t even know about ARs other than CT. Like that Dwarf that appears in a corner of Kholusia after the completion of 5.0 with just another blue marker…they get you to do fedex quests for a while and there is no indication that there’s a raid at the end.

To be fair, none of the roulettes are mandatory, so nobody would be forced to do any of them. I just think this particular roulette is extremely susceptible to subversion by the player base and that has to stop.
