Alliance Raid Now iLvl Locked, Why??

This argument is thrown out the window when you realize that the new player bonus message didnt appear in the beginning and you saw those changes in HP.

This has been reported frequently

That's not actually enough information to determine what caused CT to pop up. For example, if anyone sub 60 queues, they could have run CT before but still be ineligible for any other set of raids. Even if over 60, since all the raids are optional except CT, that is still possible.

Indeed. I don’t know why people keep brining up the “no new player” argument. There are many reasons to still get CT. There are many jobs and most start below lvl 60. On top of what you mentioned, you also have players that may have queued for it specifically either for a relic weapon quest, for WT or just because they wanted to and then even in a situation where everyone would be at 90 in BiS 660 gear with all raids unlocked which never happens, there is the “luck” factor and there would be a 20% chance of getting a CT raid.

Also, as for stripping down, the iLvl was evaluated at the time of queuing, not of getting into the dungeon. One could have gone on a DoL or DoH job while waiting.
