Rename the game to the Crystal Tower?

[Aidorouge]

I don’t understand why “old content” needs to be stripped of mechanics and challenge just to be cleared faster. Many players never experienced these raids at their intended difficulty. And even if the content is old, when I queue for something, I still expect at least a minimum level of challenge.

Crystal Tower isn't easy because it's old, it's easy because it's mandatory. Square-Enix pretty much CAN'T make it hard otherwise it would roadblock countless people from ever getting out of ARR.

If Square-Enix hadn't forced people into doing it because they wrote themselves into a corner, the roulette options would probably be more varied because Crystal Tower isn't the "only one" the people queuing it have unlocked, and though the queues would probably be slower, at least most of the people doing it would be those who actually WANT to do alliance raids as a whole instead of being a bunch of new people "only there for the MSQ" and veterans being made to escort them for the umpteenth time.
