We need expansion/duty bans and easier/harder modes of duties.

They would, and they could still be doing it. As of now WoD simply shows up more often than LoTA and ST, which would hardly help any dead queues.

They cannot. If you are level 90 or 100 and have unlocked the duties, it will not let you queue with less than the required itemlevel for Aglaia (625).

If they haven't unlocked anything else, well there would be no reason to itemlevel cheese

whether or not you have unlocked the duties changes nothing. The gear requirement gets triggered strictly by the player level, even if you are nowhere there with the MSQ and can’t even unlock the raids (because this game gives ridiculous amounts of xp while leveling).

If you are level 90, you need 625 gear even to do LotA.

Which is totally fine

If you are level 90 doing HW you don’t need to be doing the alliance roulette on that job

It’s not about need. No one even needs to play this game at that rate. All this requirement does is stopping me from unlocking raids other than CT while I level alts to reach end game as it will just crazy over level me.

And? No one needs to play this game at all, it's a game.

Some people want to level every battle job, so that extra exp is actually helpful. People who have been playing each expac on release probably unlocked those raids anyways, because why deprive yourself of new content on release just to exert control over a roulette? Some players will skip the alliances when first going through because hitting max level is their current priority, but plan to go back and unlock everything later to experience all the content.
