    since the crystal tower raids are now essential to move the story along they should be moved over to main scenario roulette

    theyre already boring because of the skill cull anyway, the beginning of lota makes me want to punch a wall so seeing it get banished to main scenario would make my heart warm.

    all roulettes have the same number of players/roles for the duties within. Crystal Tower can never be part of MSQ because MSQ is matching 2/2/4 while alliance raids need to match 3 parties of 1/2/5

    The Guildhest Roulette is able to match either 1/1/2 or 2/2/4, so I think it would be possible. But of course just like with the Guildhest Roulette you could force Castrum to pop by queueing up with 2 tanks in party - or even better force Crystal Tower with 5 dps.

    Or they add a MSQ Alliance roulette since that would contain 3 different instances (LoA, ST, WoD). I doubt one more roulette is going to cause problems and it will help to partially solve the other problem of getting groups for the 60/70 Alliance raids since players would have the option to queue for the one they prefer, or for both if they like them all.

    Late addition to the thread but I was actually going onto the forums just to see if other people had this problem, and am glad to see several expressing the same disdain with Alliance Roulette as it is right now.

    I've been trying to clear the Ivalice raids on my alt character as I am planning to get him ready for Bozja before 5.45, but the queues are absolutely horrid. I can basically only queue during prime time and am still waiting for 30 minutes to an hour.

    Meanwhile, I have cleared CT on the same alt for MSQ progression and it took me less than 5 minutes each. Something is very wrong here, especially given that the Ivalice raids are mandatory for the current Relic content. I do not want to imagine how long the Shadow of Mhach raids take to queue for.

    Honestly they should make it so you have to have high enough ilvl for at least 1 piece of content thats current for your level.

    Like example is if you are level 80, you should have to have at least ilvl to do Copied Factory to do Alliance Raid Roulette again. It would be kind of a pain for people who are trying to get rewards for honestly undergeared characters but I think it would be an okay compromise.

    The whole reason I stopped queeing this roulette and just started manually queued all the non-ARR alliance raids once a day.

    I love the alliance raids - theyre super fun. And I'm happy to run the ARR ones because of people's MSQ but when every time I go in, no one ever gets the achievement for clearing it and I see half my party changing their gear once we're in, i'm getting tired of it.

    I don't blame people doing it, and I'm not mad at them, I'm just burnt out running the same ARR roulettes because people want to be quick.

    My option was to queue the ones I want manually at reset. Though a ton of people leave the dungeon at teh start when it's not one of the ARR ones. But obviously, I'm getting punished by losing out on the roulette rewards.

    That's the inherent problem with the whole ilvl and how it's way too high. No wonder people don't learn or stand in AoEs to DPS.
