Roulette Exploits

[Padudu]

Yea a lot of key info cropped out. I doubt queueing for alliance roulette in peak would get that far. I got rabanastre two night back and waited less than 5mins (with dps in need too might I add)

Yeah idk I got Orbonne and Puppet's multiple times this week lol pain.. but yeah that que time is crazy, wth happened to make it so long??? Even as dps that que should be 5-8mins..

I suppose it could be at a crazy hour when everyone is asleep.
But it does seem a bit crazy.

To be fair, it is pretty annoying that 9/10 Alliance Raids queue is going to give a level 50 alliance because people just take their clothes off. The only time I get any other alliance raid is if I specifically queue for it.

Whatever "exploit" you are referring to is not going to affect roulette queue times. Let's not get mad at things we don't understand.

Well, I'm not saying that it effects the queue *that* much but it probably does effect the queue some given how many people are doing it. The exploit is pretty simple, take off clothes to lower ilvl so you get a level 50 alliance. They do this because those are faster. Simple as that.

Effortless experience on tank and spank "bosses" that only really kill players that are completely unaware of how the game works (usually new players).

It is impossible for it to not affect queue times. If ten people (or really even one person) who should have been eligible for the Puppets' Bunker instead deliberately make themselves ineligible for that duty, that means the person waiting to get into Bunker has missed out on ten potential team mates. They have to wait longer than they otherwise would have. That is basic logic.

So you are saying people actually don't want to run high level duties? Maybe SE should look into why players avoid those and not try to bully us into doing content we don't want to do... Just saying.

If you're afraid of getting a challenging alliance raid then don't queue for the roulette. Period. Being able to force 23 other people into a lvl 50 raid is a loophole (exploit) in the roulette system, and has a negative effect on people who want to enjoy a variety of raids. If the exploit gets patched and forces people like you out of the alliance roulette, then that's just side bonus in my view.

I can get X reward for doing a 15-minute raid or the same X reward for suffering an hour long slog full of 60% gcd uptime heroes. The choice is obvious.

Also, roulettes are there to fill queues, not "enjoy variety of raids". May I advise to use direct queuing option for those?
