    Fine, forget it. You all win. Someone can come delete this thread, it's pointless, and people only answer to mock me. I hope you all had a great time. I'll see you in the next unrelated thread where you start to make fun of me again for literally nothing to do with what I said.

    Please don't resort to guilt tripping people. I'm not going to speak on behalf of anybody else, though I don't have an issue with you. I rarely bear grudges over something as trivial as forum posts. Not everybody is out to get you and some people even agreed with your suggestion only to be dismissed because they didn't say exactly what you wished them to.

    I agree with your suggestion. My only concern is that if it were to be implemented it would result in people choosing to eat the thirty minute penalty instead of running one of the harder and longer raids.

    Ever considered becoming an Au'ra?

    Also, regarding what you said, yes. People will either eat the 30min or stop queuing at all if harsher punishments were placed, thus killing roulettes even more. Give people more incentive to actually do them (e.g. splitting alliance roulette into lvl 50, 60 and 70).

    You know me all too well!

    I played as one for a while, actually - they're my second favourite option after Midlanders! I might go back to playing one someday, especially if they become relevant to the MSQ's again.

    As for your suggestion, I think a level split would work nicely. Maybe one for ARR and HW raids and another with greater bonuses for SB and ShB raids as they're the ones that require the most time and effort.

    "People only answer to mock me" after 3 pages of people trying to give contructive criticism/ relevant talking points before you yourself brought up that you've blocked someone (which was not necessary or contructive to say or admit to unless you were doing it for attention). Sounds like you need to chill out a bit dude

    Edit: On topic, i think its a good idea, but they need to scale the rewards of higher difficulty alliance raids appropriatly, especially if youre running for quick tomes not exp.

    Going to take a shot in the dark, but if the responses from your signature or other posters trouble you that much why not just leave it? I get you are free to do as you please, just seems irrational to get defensive over something you a certain degree of control over. Talking about the sig, and also announcing you have black listed someone actions like that simply only cause to derail the thread you have started,

    Either way on the idea of the topic I do feel having a min ilvl would be nice, but I am also afraid of the lasting impact that will have regarding the queue times for the roulette if such a change was implemented. I also think it is unfair to say people are afraid of a challenge, but maybe it has more so to due with the fact that the rewards do not match the effort from their personal perspective.

    Hope this means you're going to stop posting in this thread, because it's a good thread, but you were derailing it. Meanwhile, everyone you suggested was derailing your topic were actually on topic.

    Threads, unlike posts, aren't static. They flow, and go on back and forth between related tangents and the actual main topic. You have to let them flow.

    It's not like they're going to be that hard, anyway. The problem lies more in the lack of variety, IMO. Unless you're doing EX trials, at a minimum, the content is only moderately challenging, at best. I do think lack of variety can be tedious though, like when they switch the expert roulette to just 2 dungeons. They do need to find a better way to make it work... making the experience rewarded commensurate to the level bracket it falls within would at least resolve the incentive problem.
