Stop Gating Behind Older, Less Popular Questlines and Raids

[KurohNeko]

One solution is to stop having the fucking event moogle give moogle tomes for the Dun Scaith raids and have them do Ivalice to force people to play. Another is for them to revamp the raid to make it better so people actually want to play it. Maybe unreal it. I feel the same about Crystal Tower only the inverse in I am fucking sick of running it and hate how it's the go-to for alliance roulette because it's fast. It's boring. I literally afk at each boss fight as I AM NOT playing it.

Would be so easy to fix that : lv60 to 69 ? gotta be at least ilvl 230 to use the alliance raid queue, (70 to 79 > ilvl 360, 80 to 89 > ilvl 490) Basically you have to equip the minimum ilvl to do the last raid of your current tier to queue don't remember the exact number it's around those line.

You can partly blame the dev for allowing players receive the same amount of roulette reward regardless whether they get CT raids or Mhach/Ivalice/NieR raids & for allowing such loophole exist for a very looonnngg time.

They really should tone down a bit the reward from CT series & raise the other expansions’ ARs accordingly.

Are we actually sure there are other raids other than crystal tower in the alliance raids roulette? I am starting to believe this is all a.....conspiracy. I have not seen anything by crystal tower for two months now no matter what class. You would think it would prioritize level and go down from there. I would wait 30 minutes as a tank or healer for anything other than crystal tower.

There were times I had a full party for leveling roulette forgot to tick the preferred leveling option and it decided yes all of you level 70 what you need right now is copperbell(this was pre change). I don't mind getting content that has a fresh sprout going through the story, but the fact you can still get Titan, Garuda, Ifrit and super low dungeons that give no xp past a certain point in the first place makes me wish they would fix the roulettes. At that point your just going through with no reward. Maybe I did the math wrong but I didn't even get a quarter of a level because the roulette was a roulette all right. Just copperbell or 4 man trials roulette more like alot of times. Maybe the roulette gods are all troll meme lords.

I get a good mix in alliance roulette, felt like there is a resurgence in nier raids which I assume is because people leveling jobs to max can now be in range for nier raids again because of increased max level. Tower at paradigm's breach was an especially fun experience when I realized the person who quit out at the start and took the 30 minute penalty got to queue up again before I was out of the alliance raid normally.

Overall the roulette is insanely stacked in favor of crystal tower and there is no way to prove that ilvl cheesers are affecting that. It can easily have the opposite effect
for individual players where ilvl cheesers are pushing others towards other alliance raids because they are forcing themselves into all the syrcus and lota raids. It's just for a roulette to give you a raid someone needs to queue for it unless you have a party of 24 rouletteers.

Are the Ivalice Raids unpopular? I was under the impression they were extremely well liked.

Honestly I'd love Ivalice to keep continuing post Bojza.

They were popular. The problem right now is players are abusing the alliance raid roulette by queuing into it with no armor on which guarantees you will get crystal tower. Some of the raids can go on for a pretty long time and since that roulette gives so much exp and CT can be completed in like 10 minutes people naturally go out of their way to ensure they get the easy exp the quickest.

[Vahlnir]

I've personally never much liked the Ivalice raids, but weren't they actually fairly well liked at the time?

Edit: I like the raids themselves, I just didn't like the story much.

Yeah, I don't recall seeing many people ever saying that they were bad. Quite the opposite, actually. They just require more than a single brain cell to complete, which is probably a deal breaker for some people who just want to spam CT for weeks/months/years on end.

[Ilisidi]

I don't mind Ivalice, Crystal Tower or Mhach, but I dislike Nier. So currently I'm not queueing into MSQ roulette and instead use that time to queue Myths, which I like a lot.

[Anhra]

I think the Ivalice Raids on release days, where the biggest fun ive had in any 24man content so far, and i still enjoy running them even after having farmed all the Glamour for my collection.

The only thing that really annoys me are the People queuing into Raid Roulette naked just to get freaking Crystal Tower which is at this point of the game, just a no-brainer.

[Darthgummibear]

People like the Ivalice raids, you just don't see them as often because a bunch of rejects game the system queuing naked to get crystal tower. They really need to do something about that.
