Roulette is there for whatever instance is in need of filling up right now and there are going to be far more lower level instances than higher level instances. Crystal tower is an msq requirement while none of the others are. I'm not denying that syrcus baiting isnt happening, I've seen it myself. But that is not actually enough proof that it's skewing anything. All you need for the roulette to force a syrcus or lota run is one person to either: be there for MSQ, have job level below 60, trying to get any of the relic stuff from there or not have the other raids unlocked. Those are all legitimate.

My guess is that the only thing ilvl cheese is changing is that it guarantees you a spot in lota or syrcus while possibly taking that spot away from someone else who will now get any of the other raids. I say this because for a bit I queued up with someone doing the ilvl cheese. Predictably we only got lota and syrcus. Whenever I didnt go with them, I never got either of these. When I queue with my max level jobs I frequently get one of the 70 or 80 raids.
