Alliance Raid Now iLvl Locked, Why??

[TomsYoungerBro]

You're not accounting for when people sign up for raids [other than CT] specifically which was mentioned in the original post.

But this change doesn't add more CT raids to the overall queue, which is my point. It is all about probabilities. Because you can't ilvl cheese anymore, that guarentees there is a less chance for a CT raid. Will you still get CT raids a majority of the time compared to other alliances? Sure, but the overall percentage over the course of time will drop for the overall playerbase.

The gil you get when buying a boost is not nearly enough to buy a new expansion crafted gear unless like now we are at the end of an expansion. Already explained that when Dawntrail comes out that gear will remain expensive for a while. 1st raid is usually released in x.1 when the first crafted gear is still quite expensive.

This statement alone shows that you do not know anything about the endgame lmao. The crafted gear will have significantly dropped in value by the x.1 patch. Sure it will slightly go up due to the augmented upgrade, but will not go anywhere near where it starts and eventually crash again anyway. Its a non-issue. Secondly, if they are buying a level boost, they get that level's equivalent gear, so it is again another non-issue. Third, if they also buy a story boost with it, they are already on their way to accessing the free alternatives.

Case and point the alternative is there and extremely viable. If they want to continue doing the roulette, time to save up that gil!
