CT is dead, please fix

I've tried low manning Satasha and such on a 50+ character. Great the first time through, but it feels incredibly disappointing to do older content that way. Why didn't anyone in WoW do the lower level dungeons back in vanilla where level sync didn't exist? Because it was pointless and boring. We only ran lower level people through dungeons when we had to, or if they were a friend. He is recreating the problem that level sync was designed to address, which was how to keep older content relevant.

We reran them all the time. In fact some of us even went into high level dungeons solo, for recipes, farming, soloing (or try to) bosses, etc. Levelsync in ffxiv doesnt work as great as you would believe anyway.
Due to the way to also scales your available skills, making low level duties particularly dull.

Maybe they're going to add Void Ark in to the quest where we have to do all three towers.

for gods sake NO. void ark should be extra since its endgame content. the old towers are NOT anymore.

also its likely youll get the upgrade items from hunts when 3.1 hits. expect weapon maybe. theyll save that one for after relic release probaly. since relic is gonna be i210 for sure otherwise it would be useless. new primal hopefully drops i205 for the time till i210 is handed out to everyone.

Tell me about it. Wasn't always this way, but you can thank WoW with TBC and later expansions for cementing it as "the way everyone does it". Every expansion kills the older content. Heck FFXIV 2.0 pushed it further... every patch kills the former dungeon/raid content. Wasn't always this way. FFXI was able to keep content relevant for 7+ years by not increasing player level and using a horizontal progression system to focus on the endgame.

Right.

Blame WoW for something every non FFXI game did before it.

Seriously, the only MMO that kept old content relevant *that* long, is FFXI.

That should say something.

Creating alliance roulette and changing the queue format to work more like PvP wouldn't take a massive amount of dev time away from new content. Small, avoidable incentives don't turn the game into a horizontal progression MMO either. The goal is just to allow people to run these dungeons if they want to, and there are many simple ways to do that which don't detract from the rest of the game at all. How is that a bad thing?

I myself have made thread related to this idea, but I am really glad that finally one of these topics made it to 10+ pages and 60+ likes. Let's keep this stuff in one place and this thing will probably happen one day.

You got mah full support OP.

I did Labyrinth of the Ancients yesterday and it took two hours to get through the queue despite recruiting several friends to join with me. We sat at 23/24 people for over 30 minutes just waiting for one last tank, and during that time nobody left the queue. 23 people just sitting there for that long waiting for one person who could literally AFK the entire time and it wouldn't even matter. That seems like a pretty obvious problem to me.

No, it just means not enough people want to do it.

What you guys are asking for is SE to bribe people that otherwise don't want to do it, to do it.

... which is different from all of the other roulettes how? Do you really think most people would be running CM and Prae over and over just for the fun of it? No, they do it for the tomestones from Main Scenario Roulette.

Just admit that you have a personal hateboner for CT and stop trying to justify it with arguments that don't even make sense.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Raid content should always be relevant despite when it came out.
