Alliance Roulette problem

[Maneesha]

While i personally don't equip lower ilvl gear for alliance roulette, i can see why people would do it. They don't need gear from any of the alliance raids and only queue up for them because of the tome stones/exp for leveling, so they try to get into the most easy ones which also means they will have to spend less time in it. Is it boring to do 5 days in a row Arr alliance raid? Sure it is. Do i think its a problem? Not at all, because if i get "fed up" with it i simply don't queue for this roulette for a while.Also roughly 3(maybe4)/10 of the runs i get into are HW/SB ones.

I mean, if you want to only do Crystal Tower raids out of efficiency, fine. But the rest of us don't care about all this dang efficiency. I never cared when they made it to where we cant skip cut scenes because I never care about "time being wasted" or "I got better things to do". It's the same way I feel when once in a miracle moon I get something like Dune or Orbonne. I don't need more exp or rewards to do those, I just like those raids because they are way more fun to do and that's plenty enough for me to consider that a reward in itself. This is why I am still sitting on the fence that crystal tower raids might need to have their own mini roulette with fewer rewards unless you are new to it. At least then, those who only want those raids are guaranteed to get them while the rest of us can get others. Or maybe create a checkbox system of which raids you want to get dropped into once they are unlocked for roulette. I don't know, just let me have my fun D:!

I'm quite happy to get Labyrinth or Syrcus. It means my Alliance roulette will be over that much more quickly.

I hate getting World of Darkness or Orbonne due to the fact that there's a good chance it's going to end in a Vote Abandon.

Because I have played since 1.0 and never unsubbed, I'm pretty "over" the old raids. I don't hate them, but I wouldn't do them at all anymore if it wasn't for the massive XP you can get. So whichever ones allow me to get it over with the fastest are perfectly fine with me.

Do people really wipe constantly and vote abandon WoD? I have never seen that. I rarely see any wipes there at all. Most WoD runs only take slightly longer than the average LotA.

I’ve seen a handful of them. Usually people not going into Cerberus’ stomach or people playing chicken with the fetters after the stomach phase—seen it more than once recently where they try to time it to the end of the Reawakening cast, but end up losing the chain and then can’t get it back to him in time (hello, 16 stacks of Haste). However, I still see wipes to Ancient Flare in LotA because people want to try to burn the boss. So it’s about the same. Haven’t seen a WoD Vote Abandon in a long time—at least, not on Aether.

Personally, I’m sick of Crystal Tower every day. So I’d be all for enforcements to prevent item level cheesing.

Did any of the players complaing checked if there is the first timer bonus? I have more often the bonus in every ARR runs than when I have the HW or SB runs. And since I have an alt I do TWO runs a day. It sounds really weird to me there could be that many "fake" tag when it is not at all what I experience, especially since people complaining here escape this question.

I’ve noticed getting CT raids with no bonus before. However, it’s not uncommon to see players zoning in with no clothes on and then suddenly popping them back on—bonus or no bonus.

Personal experience is that, due to not knowing/following mechanics, roughly 1 in 3 fail outright, and 2 in 3 have at least one wipe. I've had two Orbonne runs since it became "old content" (aka 5.0), and both failed at Cid. And I've seen dozens of similar complaints on reddit/discord.

Never experienced that myself.
Never had a vote abandon in WoD, worst I’ve ever had it was 1 wipe to Angra Mainyu, followed by success, and 1 wipe to Cloud of Darkness followed by clear.

Orbonne is a bit trickier, had abandons a few times, but majority of the time we complete.
