    I like my AR roulettes to go as quickly as possible, which is the biggest reason why I don't prefer getting the Nier raids (crazy how much longer ShB content takes by comparison these days, though I'm not exactly lobbying them to tone them down). While I don't want want them to change this I am curious about the missed mechs in CT (and I do kinda miss the scales in Aglaia), so... maybe they could make "Unreal" versions of them?

    Even current ARs are already getting skips. AR2's first boss already has his triple tank buster phase completely skipped. Syncing should be when its not the current AR. AR2 could be just fine with a 760 or 765 sync so we still see all mechs in the same expac.

    The nier raids are really hp spongey i think we can leave them out. The myths of the realm were dead easy on content release so sure to them ig. Ivalice ehh im 50/50. I personally think arr and hw 24 man raids need full reworks because some of them even synced down are just a mess.

    I love how people say nier are spongey when tower is the only raid that every boss does a full loop of their mechanics before they die

    Like there is a strong argument tower is literally the only AR in the game that is balanced correctly for length

    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

    They only need to adjust the bosses HP in the 24 man raids for the always ongoing up level sync, so players can see their oh-so-powerful 6 digit damage output, while we can see the fun parts of the mechanics.

    Melting bosses are not fun at all, period, full stop.

    Also, for example, if a CT raid will get their full mechanic cycle at least once, they can "balance" it for the "I-want-6-min-raid" people by raising the rewards acquired, like for instance, they can skip one or two other roulettes. Everybody wins.

    It is really a shame new players feel an even 6 months old content as dull because the bosses immediately melt...

    Also, SE should add more instant death mechs and "don't be together or die 'cus elemental debuff" to the raids, get the people be on the ball and adds a little more thrill into the battle and the actual sensation that you can die if you're not fully playing. The fact that it wasn't implemented in the Windurst run fell sorta disappointing IMHO.

    You get to remember stuff that is challenging to a healthy point, not a yawn fest. I am sure that new players won't remember CT fondly at all, just a 6 mins way to get tomes and that is kinda sad. Is just another step into instant gratification...

    Nobody remembers how to do CT. Forcing people to do the mechanics would be a shitshow of epic proportions

    They should absolutely do it. I've been saying for years that item level sync should be equal to the level of the gear that an instance drops or maybe 10 above.

    They also need to make the mechanics actually interesting and also force the alliances to do alliance specific mechanics (whether it be waymarks to get people aware of where to go for specific alliance mechanic, forced onto an island with party, or tether debuffs) AND stop with the tutorial stuff. Making bosses do a tutorial phase doesn't make future runs fun, especially when you can melt their HP before they even get a chance to do anything. I hate that Aglaia and Jueno started off very promising and then second and thirds for both end up being massive boring disappointments.

    Said it before and I'll say it again, they need to use the Ivalice raids as a reference when making Alliance Raids. Rabanastre, Lighthouse and Orbonne were all peak raids.

    Please synch the ilevel to lower, so you will be forced into doing all the mechanics for each one of them....

    And yet again increase the reward and have more unique rewards for each individual alliance raid or special tokens that can be used for it.

    the ARR Raids would have you have do all mechanics, and you would get more game play same with HW, SB, SHB, EW and DT as well, once it become a previous expansion raid of course.

    It feels rather pathetic that you have to skip all the fun as it is.
    Well do you really want it to become wipe wipe wiiiiiiipe instead of skip skip skiiiiiiip?

    If the story is so good, why does story skip never leaves bestsellers of FFXIV Store?
