Crystal Tower raids should moved to Main Scenario Roulette

[Toutatis]

I think the right fix has to be requiring equipping gear that is equal to your level to enter roulettes. If you are level 90 in that role, then you must be wearing all level 90 gear to enter the roulette. The ilevel requirement would still apply to do the harder content, but players should not be able to cheese the roulette by removing gear to bring down the ilevel.

where were you in the past months? Because they did just that but as many had predicted it changed nothing.

The problem was not iLvl cheese. CT comes back often because it is the only mandatory raid and the only raid someone can do until they reach a certain point in msq. You could be in full 660 gear and you would still be able to do only CT if you haven’t unlocked the other raids. Also, a new player who reaches lvl 60 may still not be able to unlock the next raid series as it is locked behind MSQ. They have to finish the expansion before that, same for the other lvl 70, 80 and 90 raids. The player base is simply much broader for CT.

Unlocking all the raids takes time. If someone started years ago, it’s a non issue but for a new player, just doing MSQ to get to engame is already quite long. Unlocking optional raids is probably not a priority.

Personally, I purchased a character upgrade to play with friends on a EU DC and nothing besides MSQ was unlocked, not even glamours or chocobo fighting beside you…there were blue markers all over the map. It took a me while to unlock ARs as you have to run some quest chain, queue, wait and then do the raid (I have not unlocked the last Nier raid and will never do so on that character as it gives me a migraine). Repeat x 11. SE has also put the quest givers in the middle of nowhere: a new player who is doing MSQ will not think of going back to Kholusia to speak to that dwarf away from everything on the map. Several new players to whim i have spoken didn’t even know there were other alliance raids besides CT.

There are lots of new players with xbox and there’s going to be even more with DT so CT will keep popping. The only way to fix this is to start giving real incentives to unlock the other raids and maybe move the initial quest givers to more obvious locations and give the quest markers a different colors as atm it’s just another blue marker among many.
