CT is dead, please fix

Now, this may seem like a lot for the last 2 for sub-60 content, but this would probably come in during 5.2, when the *next* stage of alexander will become available. This is how you get the 60's to participate. This gives content to people who care about the 'soft' things (minions, glamours) and to people who care about the 'crunchy' things (armor and stats), and is enticing for those of us who care about both.

Oh, and

5) Each of these raids gives Maximum light/attunment for an instance, making the relic progression easier at the same time as providing incentive.

I doubt eso upgrades will come from the old 24 man raids personally. I think a large portion of the issue here is that they've milked the CT cow dry. People have played these to death and have little incentive to go back even with another carrot on a stick. Which sucks for the newer people who want to run thru it but that is the nature of MMO content. I think an incentive for newer players to run the CT raids would be beneficial. Say things like the FFXIII event items or something of that nature. The thing is that you really need to get the new people in there, the vets aren't really going to do this content anymore but giving newer folks an extra initiative to do them would bring some life back, ultimately it will be a temporary fix either way.

I think a max light incentive would be a very good move.

CT Savage for 60s incoming.

Now there's an idea. There's actually a few old dungeons that I wouldn't mind running again if they jacked em up to "Extreme" or "Savage" difficulty.

Add CT roulette give it a large exp bonus at the end, let the mobs inside give exp then people will queue for it.

5 bucks says the new weekly quest to get Eso upgrade items will require you to clear Void Ark AND the entire CT series, level synced.

We were discussing it in FC chat last week lol. Que time 10 min+30 min run no wipes X3, + the New 24 man=about 4 hours est.

[*]Incorporate them into the 3.1 relics.

Please no.

I wouldn't mind replaying those, but please no level synch. make an hard version if you like, but let us run at lvl 60. I mean after learning new skills/rotations, it feels so lame to go back to lvl 50 content

I've only started playing about a month ago, and just now unlocked Crystal Tower! It would b e mighty disappointing for me personally if I won't be able to experience that content. I play mostly for the story, and for the people I meet, but longish queue times are turn off.

Sadly, it's probably not possible, and level sync is here to stay. You have to remember, SE has to appeal to the players who have not invested in the expansion. As much as I'd love to see a Extreme or Savage version of these dungeons, they're probably never going to happen. SE will be more interested in keeping que times alive for new players or players who have yet to get into 3.0 than they will in keeping the progressive crowd happy... since we already have more content than the sub-50 players.

The most likely thing they will do to revitalize ques is to offer a reward incentive for quing. That will most likely come in the form of upgrade items that are exchangeable for a multiple gearsets (so they can satisfy Antiquated and Ironworks players both). It will be the same weekly clear quest we already have, just with added rewards that lvl 60 players can use. Honestly, something like this has already been planned, and they're just telling us to be patient because they were going to roll it out with the next patch anyway.

Reworking the raids to fit 8 man groups is another possibility that I would have liked to see but, again, it's unlikely, because the lvl 50 players would not be able to run it... unless all of them were in dreadwyrm or full ironworks sets with optimized relic weapons... which is unlikely as well.
