Labyrinth and Syrcus Tower...

This whole thread is coming about because of "I don't want X"

Well people dropping ilevel (before anyone jumps in, no I don't, but I also don't mind what I get in Alliance) don't want Y. If they get Y, then people say they just leave. What's going to happen when the game makes them get Y? They'll just stop running the roulette unless they are given a reason to run it. The reason people drop Castrum like a hot potato is because it has shit experience compared to Prae. If you're running just for tomes, it's great cause it's quick. But if you're leveling an alt class are many are with MSQ, then Prae gives you a massive amount more xp.

Do the same with these. Higher level means higher rewards. For one, it's a much easier thing to code. And two, it gives people a reason not to bail. Plus if someone does want to drop ilevel because they're trying to get a certain glam or just want an easy run that night, then they can still do that and keep the roulette going rather than abandoning it because they're forced into something that isn't worth it for them. Incentives are always going to be much more well received than punishments.

Except it doesn't quite work that way. Alliance Roulette still gives a boatload of experience that only Orbonne poses any risk to efficiency. Dun Scaith, Rabanastre and Riodana are all so easy now, it's laughable. You outright skip adds in Hashmel, that's how ridiculous our damage is. Very few people who run Alliance Roulette consistently will stop because thet might get those raids more often, especially when the odds of getting Orbonne would remain low. Furthermore, there are plenty of people who outright stopped queuing because they're tired of LotA and Syrcus Tower. I'll be among those people. I used to spam Alliance even when my jobs were 80 with for tomes or because I liked a lot of the 24 mans. Unless something changes, once I'm done leveling my remaining I'll never touch it again.
