So instead, I propose a minimum ilevel based on the highest cap you have available (50, 60, 70, or 80), so you have to have the minimum ilevel for the highest alliance raid you can do. So for 50-59, you'd have to have at least i90. For 60-69, you'd have to have i235, and for 70 you'd have to have i365. Something like that, anyway. That way you have to be equipped to do all possible alliance raids at your current job level.

I suspect people will respond angrily to this because they don't want to actually play and just want to snooze through an easy roulette, but I feel like it can solve at least some of the problem with this easy exploit.

EDIT, since apparently this needs to be said: This thread is specifically to suggest what I've said above, not for instating a penalty for leaving a roulette mid-duty.
You're ignoring the other reasons why you might be ending up in LotA other than everyone else is equipping low level gear.

Some players are fishing for glamour items out of LotA. They're direct queuing for the raid instead of using roulette but roulette players will still get matched with them.

Other players haven't unlocked the other Alliance raids but they have unlocked Labyrinth of the Ancients. You need to remember SE is encouraging all players to do Crystal Tower before reaching Shadowbringers content. There are a lot of new players who have only unlocked Crystal Tower as a result of this advice. They may not be a high enough level yet to unlock the others. They may not realize the other Alliance raids exist even if they are. Our FC recently did Ivalice together. Three of our members are fairly new to the game and had no idea the raid existed until we listed it as an upcoming event.

All it takes is one player in the matchmaking group directly queueing for LotA or only having LotA unlocked for the entire group to be placed there.

If you want to be doing a different Alliance raid, direct queue for it. You might be missing out on the roulette bonus but you can earn those tomestones and XP from other sources.
