    Exclamation The Alliance roulette is unbearable

    Please please please pray, add an ilvl requirement to this roulette that scales with the job level of the person queuing for it.

    A level 90 character equipping lvl 50 gear and then queuing for this roulette to get a quick and easy LotA or CT run is not what this roulette is intended for. This is having a huge adverse impact on everyone who wants to enjoy all of the alliance raids with this roulette, especially the more recent ones. About 90% of my alliance roulette runs are one of these two raids because of people abusing this exploit and I'm going to die from boredom if this continues.

    I really wish there were a way to scale the rewards. If you were to queue at 80 in 50 gear, for example, you’d get a worthless reward in exchange for your worthless commitment.

    If you wore 80 gear on an 80 character, though, you’d open yourself to the full reward no matter what you actually ended up running (assuming everything were unlocked for that level.) Perhaps even an additional bonus if you cleared something uncommonly cleared.

    Even if they did add a feature to fix this, you'd still get mostly CT because, ya know, its required to continue the MSQ now.

    Move CT raids to the MSQ roulette and problem fixed.

    Add MORE roulettes according to expasions or level ( Shb Roulette, SB Roulette, EW roulette or just High Dungeon Roulette [60++])
    Add MORE raids roulettes so everyone can be happy and do the content they should be doing instead of 60 runs of CT per month.

    It honestly won't matter that much, I fear.

    The Crystal Tower raids are required for MSQ now, and must be done before you can get into Heavensward; every person playing the game will have them unlocked, and I would not be surprised if the story-skip also unlocks them as a result. This includes even the free trial players, since they have to do those raids in order to continue on to Heavensward, which is part of the free trial up to level 60 of the award-winning... you know the rest.

    In contrast, the Shadows of Mhach raids at level 60 are not required for anything, so many people never get around to picking them up. The YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse raids at level 80 aren't required for anything either, and many people thus didn't unlock them... and moreover, the free trial users can't even get to those.

    The Ivalice raids at level 70 are required for Bozja and the Resistance relics, but not everyone out there wanted to do the relics... and like the level 80 ones, free trial users can't get to those anyway.

    This means a huge number of players will only have the Crystal Tower raids unlocked, even when at level 90, because those are required for MSQ progression where none of the others are. So even if you solved ilevel cheesing -- and don't get me wrong, the way this game handles ilevel is kinda broken -- Crystal Tower would still massively dominate that roulette regardless.

    Which makes me sad, because I actually enjoy the other raids, and always have a moment of "oh thank the Twelve" any time I get a raid that isn't Crystal Tower in the roulette.

    I aim to make my posts engaging and entertaining, even when you might not agree with me. And failing that, I'll just be very, VERY wordy.

    Oh I love it too, full skillset time.

    Got puppet bunker 3 days ago like 4 people dropped right away.

    Dropping is kind of silly because you'll likely get put right back in.

    Saw this happen LOTS of times with Titania and Steps of Faith. Like dude you dropped 3 times already, DF is making you stay.

    I mean, ya, I guess they could do that.

    I dunno how I feel about the idea of more roulettes though. That could potentially fracture the leveling roulette population a bit too much which is obviously something SE probably wants to avoid given how dungeons are tied into the MSQ.

    I also would not be surprised is a larger amount of players only have the level 50 alliance raids unlocked. How ever if you make this complaint you may as well start complaining now, when the expert roulette will contain 1 dungeon from 6.1 onwards

    Bad idea to split by expansion - that way it will become harder to fill up the needed spaces on the earlier content.

    They could also just not make running the CT raids mandatory in order to progress the storyline - it just adds background info after all.
