Alliance Raid Roulette Dynamic AIL Enforcement? Yes, please!

It's because you don't understand how the queueing system works, especially for roulettes.

You seem to think that if 1 person lowers their ilvl, the next 23 people who would be chosen for the queue pop get pulled along with them. It doesn't work like this.

The system places a priority on new players to the instance they are queued for. So if there is say, 1 person new who is queued for lighthouse, and 1 person who isn't with their gear cut down to below 300, the newer player will get his queue pop first, assuming there are enough players queued with gear that is appropriate. On the flip side, say you have 2 new people, 1 queued for rabanastre, and 1 queued for weeping city. It will prioritize people with gear appropriate for each person to make the alliances in the roullete.


The system manages multiple 24man queues at once, based on varying needs of the people queued.

Every time I have been placed in a 50 or 60 alliance raid, there has been a new player bonus, for as far back as I can remember.

but that is just it... that very 1 person queuing for lighthouse you are talking about has the potential of being impacted by the behavior of someone manipulating the roulette. so, they queue for Lighthouse. but someone strips their gear for the roulette, they are potentially taking away 23 players for that person queuing to the lighthouse. even if the system decides to pass over the manipulator in favor of the lighthouse player, how many times will this happen? what if the player does get their lighthouse entry, and immediately some other player also queues for something that is past the first 2 Alliance Raids? how many times will roulette pass over the manipulator in favor of giving 23 people to the player waiting on the specific Alliance Raid?

no matter how one looks at it, someone will EVENTUALLY be impacted by this type of behavior. uncommon? maybe so. improbable? maybe still yet so, or even more so. but should it be ignored? NO!

it really does seem like it shouldn't too difficult to address this type of behavior and prevent it. so, if the behavior can have a possible adverse impact on others and can be addressed... it doesn't matter how unlikely or how uncommon the behavior is, it should be addressed.


well, either way... i am truly done here. this is my last post. people don't seem care. whatever. hopefully some mod here can just move this blackhole topic to the trash pile. pft!
