    Really it just sounds like spite.
    Probably just a tiny bit. Not much of a big deal anyway, better than the alternative of boring CT raid.

    CT is so different from the other ARs and the only triplet required for MSQ that I'd move it to MSQ roulette.

    Then everyone knows the remaining alliance raid roulette dumps you into a tedious forty-minute visual nightmare.

    Until then the gearing trick goes quite far enough in compelling those who have unlocked post-CT ARs to get subjected to that miserable content if they so choose.

    That’s the point. If you are queuing for a ROULETTE then you are sacrificing choice

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    Sure. If I queue for leveling dungeons, rather than choosing one that I like, I am randomly assigned to one I have actually opened.

    The parallel to your system would be that anyone who never opened Cutter's Cry, but had finished the MSQ, could only be assigned dungeons below level 38.

    That’s not how the levelling roulette works either. And if that’s an attempt at a comparison then no that’s not what I want either. If you don’t unlock cutters cry then you can still direct queue but the levelling roulette locks till you open it

    And yes the levelling roulette should force you to open the optional dungeons

    You have a very authoritarian approach to how others should play the game.

    How is it authoritarian to say “you shouldn’t benefit from roulette bonuses if you are intentionally manipulating the roulettes to your own benefit and to the detriment of players that the roulette benefit is actually supposed to help”

    To me you just come off as selfish, “I want to get my roulette bonuses but only do braindead content to get them”
