    The EXP bonus is exactly that, a bonus. It exists to entice players into doing outdated content.
    Take the rewards away from the Roulettes and no one would do them. Which would block or severely hinder newer players or alt jobs from being able to queue for dungeons at their level.

    Imagine a newbies first attempt at Sastasha for MSQ is a multi hour queue because the vast majority of the population is well beyond needing to queue that.
    Its kinda rare to get a sub level cap dungeon with a full team of players not synced down.

    Or to put it another way, The Roulette is used for levelling other players, Not yourself. Its a bribe. You do it once for yourself and then go back to current level content.
    It keeps the queues healthy for all levels of content without relying on a constant influx of brand new players (or brand new alts) to populate the lower levels.
    Thank you, this exactly.

    Imagine if they removed the Tomes an Exp bonus from MSQ roulette.. do you think anyone would sit threw an hour of cut scenes for no reward?

    Doubt they would and thats what I mean by they are for keeping dungeons active and so the lock on roulettes where you don't meet the current ilevel or actual level would be trivial as if you don't have it unlocked your not aiding to the use of the roulette's designed feature.

    I have a thread about this, though its specifically for preventing manipulation of the system. Making Alliance only available if you have all three raids of a tier unlocked and players to meet the minimum ilvl requirement of the raid that is equal to their level (so for lvl 50-59 that'd be LotA, lvl 60-69 Void Ark, lvl 70-79 Rabanastre, lvl 80 Copied Factory) will help curb some of it but as with anything people will find a way. I can only hope Ct raids get put in a separate roulette like I also suggested because it'd be nice to take those off the table for a bit. I like getting a variety.
