Alliance Raid Roulette Needs adjustments

[Ardox]

They removed a tank spot and put in a dps spot instead because the need for that extra tank wasn't there.

Actually, it's not true. They dropped the tank position because they needed exact same party composition as the HW and (the planned) SB raids for the roulette to work properly. So, in order for a min ilvl party to be able to clear the ARR raid, they had to tweak the encounters so the 2nd tank wouldn't be needed.

That said, it ws only tweaks, they didn't dramatically reworked the content

What if Alliance Roulette adjustments, but it's to make it an actual roulette instead of just Labyrinth of the Ancients, but with relevant tomes?

That would be nice, but other players are the reason for this. There are players who only unlock the first couple "easy" alliance runs so that they can keep this as an easy exp roulette. Someone who only has LotA and Syrcus unlocked is going to limit everyone else matched with them to a boring run. And of course, people leveling a class from 50-60 using this roulette would only have 3 choices anyway, even if all 9 were open to them.

I had a ninja today who took off there gear got in que and then put it back on in the dungeon. They must have done that to drop there item level to get crystal tower. The "ez" ones for exp. People doing that are messing up the random function of the roulette. They where level 70. If the dungeons where closer in challenge level it would not be a problem. Then it would not be the "ez" one.

I don't disagree that the Crystal Tower raids are easy, but I do disagree that making them harder would make them more fun. The primary reason why people even run Alliance Roulette in the first place is for the EXP and tomes. People don't run it to be challenged, or just to have fun. There's a reason why people try to force the Crystal Tower raids by reducing ilvl and avoid Orbonne Monastery like the plague. If you tuned the Crystal Tower raids to be like Orbonne Monastery you wouldn't get fun runs. You'd get incredibly frustrating runs full of people who want to get their exp and tomes for the day and get out as quick as possible. There isn't a high tolerance for wipes in environments like this. People are not going to want to waste their time teaching people fights. Worst-case scenario the roulette just dies, making completing any old Alliance Raids impossible for new players, and best case scenario it makes running Alliance Raid 200% more annoying since every time you queue for it you're just praying that you don't get a group that vote abandons at the second or third boss.

The only way this could be acceptable was if they made it an entirely different roulette with higher rewards. But changing the current one to become an absolute nightmare to run? No thank you.

People would get good at it or stop runing it. Those who stay would enjoy what they got. Not hard just closer to the original patch experience.
