    It's a game, it's not about need. Running things with friends or various levels is fun. Same with helping new people do something. as for need, someone may need tomes too.

    None of which has anything to do with excessively running CT every day on the alliance roulette because you have nothing else unlocked

    I have everything unlocked save the last Nier raid because it makes me sick. But there is no reason to stop running things with friends while you do your MSQ. There are lots of new players, there will be even more when DT comes out and I'll be happy to help them and run whatever they want to run when they level up. You obviously don't "need" Alliance roulette anyway

    Except people in the situation being described are actively hindering new people, CT doesn’t need any more “help” the other raids are the ones that desperately need help. Any person that is queuing for the alliance raid without everything they can possibly have unlocked unlocked is actively hindering the experience of people who are trying to do everything

    No they are not, they are new players and they are totally entitled to run CT: it's part of their MSQ and that's what roulette is for. I am not hindering anyone when I help friends and most often than not, they queue for CT directly (really blaming people for running with friends is pretty low). Anyway we got lots of new players with Xbox and are about to get even more with DT.You might as well just stop queuing for AR if it makes you so angry because you are going to get even more CT whether I am there or not lol Btw when I queue by myself for AR I get a lot of Myths of the Realm. Want an Ivalice raid? queue for one.

    The roulette is designed to pop content people are queuing directly for, we all have CT but many people don’t have the non CT raids, if you are sitting in the queue with only CT unlocked when you have the capacity to have other raids unlocked you are making it harder for people who are actually attempting to queue directly for the other alliance raids. This is why it can take hours to pop nier even on busier servers. This is why the “if you want x raid just queue for it directly” is pointless advice, because the over abundance of CT makes it harder to do this. I don’t even do the alliance roulette so this is nothing about me directly

    You aren’t “helping” people pop CT, CT doesn’t need help to pop, but queueing for the roulette when you intentionally don’t unlock other raids is certainly making the other ones harder to pop which is the antithesis of the roulette design

    I think you misunderstood. I queue with friends who queue for CT directly because they need it. It's their first run or close to it. They force roulette to CT, not me. Me queuing with them changes nothing in popping CT. That's not the objective: I help friends and accompany them. The fun part is that there are more deaths in CT than other raids because new people don't know what they are doing (that's what I help my friends who are new with)

    I unlock all my raids when I reach the point I can unlock them but when I need tomes on a job, I will queue AR. That's what it's for. Unfortunately, with server bonuses + FC bonuses, people level up in no time and the time it takes to complete MSQ is still the same. Also, even if I have all the raids unlocked and am on a lvl 50-60 job, I will still get CT no matter what if I queue AR. There are many reasons to get CT.

    Anyway, at lvl 90, I don't queue for AR unless I need tomes (and I have everything unlocked atm save Nier 3) or asked to by friends who need tomes. Not taking anything away from anyone.

    You seem to have this misconception that I’m insulting you directly rather than just using the general “you” as in people who intentionally don’t unlock raids they have access to as a way to force CT no matter what job and what level they are at

    If you are queueing for CT directly with friends because it’s their first time and they are doing the story I have literally zero problem with that

    You don't even run the roulette but you want to sit there and pass judgment over when people should and shouldn't be running it.
