CT is dead, please fix

[Kageru77]

I wonder if everyone who hates running older content to help out the bean sprouts of Eorzea, or to help the community grow in general, also refuse to help fc mates, or people they might personally know. Tam Tara? Haukke Manor? Sorry dude your on your own. I got my Twintania mount, peace out.

Anyway, possible solution..

Mentor points and exclusive rewards and perks. Only earn mentor points by running older content as a level 60. Replace tome rewards with mentor points, and give a bigger chunk of points for the older raids. And make new subsections of roulette (mentor raid roulette, mentor trial roulette, mentor leveling roulette)

I think that could work quite well.

No.

I bought the expansion so I can play 3.0 content, not so SE can retroactively try to revive 2.0 content that we've all grown past.

All? Really? Does that include me who only started playing this game a couple of weeks ago?

"All" just means the "me me me" veterans. Rest assured, they don't speak for all of us. Or SE for that matter. SE still cares and thinks about new people thankfully, and that's healthy for the game!

As much as I detested CT at times, I'm more than fine with having reasons to go back, especially if it means new players get to experience it without having to deal with huge amounts of inconvenience. Even a mild grind would do wonders to help repopulate CT.

We'll benefit, new players will benefit, and it'll all be optional for veterans(even relics will be optional). So hoping SE gives us veterans reasons to go back. If veterans hate doing 2.0 content that much, they can still opt out, many will just do it though if 2.0 and even current HW judging by people leveling and such is anything to go by.

Not everyone is going to enjoy every part of a grind, that's just how it is. After running the same 2 dungeons (soon to be 4 maybe?) in expert roulette every day, I actually feel like 2.0 content is more fresh when I do it too

Agreed we should in no way have to go back to the old stuff for the new stuff in the expansion.

I'm sorry I really am but I hate duty finder with a passion I'll still do it for daily tomes expert mostly but I only use the other stuff to level stuff. If you wana know why no one wants to go back to old old content its just a one way path its too repetative.

Would it kill SE to build a dungeon where it has multiple lay outs like a random maze that be awesome.

We've been asking him for more complete dungeons for an eternity. Do they have someone paying attention to the English forums or do they only listen to the JP forums? Because they should be listening to us: We're the segment of their gamers where many of us have already been playing games with this kind of content structure for years. The JP players haven't had that level of exposure due to lack of interest in western games.

Most of the players that I knew just starting the game were only interested in reaching the new content. They didn't even want to do the old story, much less bother with old raids. At best they may take WoWs approach of manually entering the old raid, and being able to solo or party clear it.

The issue for MistakeNot is there isn't anyone to take her/him through the old content because it's deemed obsolete. So sucks to the new players who have to now look for players or sit and wait a three hour queue to do this content. Sure it's "optional" but people want to experience it.

Edit: err misread. Well that's a pity that people want to skip all the content to join everyone else in running two dungeons over and over and an easy raid, doing a hard raid whenever your static can do it. Stop and enjoy the flowers while you get to 60 cause otherwise your not going to have much to do.

[Souljacker]

I'm in the camp of just let us run them unsynced. I have been sitting in hour+ queues to run Syrcus tower because of a few glamour pieces, and wow, it's just tedious. I'm 100% certain that me and a couple friends could do this raid unsynced. Adding it to a roulette is a nice idea, but we're starting to get overloaded with roulettes as it is. Easiest solution is let us run it unsynced.

Duty Roulette: Alliance would likely be the best solution. Just make the esoterics amount worth the trouble of dealing with a 24-man crew and I would imagine they would cap it at lv.50 also.

For someone who said it could be part of the relic quest. I am not sure about that. SE does keep the content (while easy) at the max level range, instance wise at least. Could always change things around. Then again, I do not want to spam the three CT's all day.
