Devs: Why let Crystal Tower go to waste? Ideas to resurge interest

[Doki]

Like many, I was pretty surprised the devs ignored Crystal tower as part of the relic chain. The queue times are ridiculous, and something like relics would keep it alive for people that have never run it, or are after glamor/minions.

Another idea would be achievements for completing sets of armor drops, sort of like the temple/pirate/mumer set achievements, or raising the tome rewards significantly.

Or you know... add a raid roulette.

Anyone else have ideas?

I agree. Like they did with the older dungeons, they should have included this under a level 50 raid roulette option.

Have them drop a token for each boss cleared, 10 of which can be used to be exchanged for an item corresponding to the raid. You'd get 4 drops for a full clear. It's certainly better to bring life to dead content than solo content that doesn't necessarily encourage player interaction.

I don't mind running the raids over and over again because they are fun for me still but with the extended queue times having some tokens added probably would be nice or maybe double the drops.

It could be another source of tokens for all we care, your daily kill on each raid boss gives you a token that can be exchanged for your choice of unID (or a specific set pertaining to each raid) And that could be extended to coils (though my area of concern is primarly CT). That's a lot better than beast tribes which is entirely solo content for the sake of solo content (for players whom have finished all their beast tribes anyway, and the ixali are excluded entirely i think)

Wonder if I'm the only one who is perfectly fine with old content just rotting.

(The ability to go into it with just 8 level 60s would be nice, though.)

Nope, I'm with you. People need to realize that they can't keep dated content relevant forever. If SE were to bring back CT in some way, I foresee two responses: 1) people will first bitch up and down about SE rehashing old content instead of trying something new and then those complaints will eventually give way to 2) people asking for SE to revive the content again after we finish chasing the latest carrot and participation drops off for the umpteenth time.

The only thing SE needs to do is allow us to do the old 24-man content unsynced and that'll solve most of the problem right there. Merely adding things like tokens and making gear dyeable (which to be fair, the latter would be nice) are very short-term solutions to a long-term problem that's going to exist (and grow exponentially) as long as we keep getting new content.

Unsync would be nice but if thats not a option then no thanks for lvl50 content, already kinda forcing myself to do lvl50 and mainscene roulettes.

ANYTHING to bring back the desire to do those raids would be great. There are so many people still trying to complete the raids now but ques are nonexistent. I'm glad I was able to do those raids back in September when the wait times were only 30-40 mins but now it's really impossible. I feel bad for all the new kids who can't que for them. They were really fun.

maybe a unidentified item drop at the end?
