    Put Crystal Tower into MSQ roulette

    I'm not sure how it is on other data centers, but on Crystal, alliance raid roulette has just become Crystal Tower roulette. People will strip to get a guaranteed CT run simply because they want the XP and don't want to run anything with even slightly complicated mechanics.
    CT is an excellent introduction to alliance raids, but its prevalence in ally raid roulette is frankly, so bad myself and many other people I know simply do not run it anymore. MSQ roulette only has 3 (formerly 2) possible options. Doing this would bulk up the diversity of content in MSQ roulette and allow people who are queuing for alliance raids to experience something other than CT.
    The only potential issue I see with this would be people abandoning Castrum/Prae/Porta in favor of CT, but people have been leaving MSQ content in favor of the other because of efficiency since before I started playing.

    This does make sense as the CT series are now required where the others are not.

    I have read that many players never do the unlock quests for the other 24s so they will always get a CT raid.

    That is definitely possible...and I agree it makes sense to move CT series to MSQ roulette. Doing so would also help those trying to get the other raids cleared that can't because of the people who only have CT unlocked/strip down to only get CT.

    I used to play on Crystal and would mostly get the Stormblood and Heavensward raids because people wanted to unlock bozja or do the Zadnor relic quests. I still get all of them evenly. I would say that I get ARR, Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers at a rate of 25% each.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    I mostly heal for the roulettes, and I've gotten CT raids for Alliance almost every day since I started playing last summer. On rare occasions I'll get the one with the airship that knocks half the raid off, and a few times in the past couple weeks I've gotten Paradigm's breach. I haven't even seen any of the ivalice stuff in months, not to mention the raids I haven't seen at all since I unlocked them without having to queue for them directly.

    For me personally, the roulettes is more about getting random content that I DON'T SEE EVERY DAY than it is about the rewards. Constantly getting the same ones makes me want to play something else.

    Are you asking for tower to be taken out of alliance raid roulette and put into msq or for tower to be in both? If the former, then no, I strip down for alliance raid but I still want two dungeons over just labyrinth, a tiny variety beats none, and if both, then how are you going to fit in a 24 man raid along side 4 man dungeons? Tower ain't even actual msq, what exactly are you asking for? Are you asking them to remake crystal tower into a 4 man msq?

    Tower is actually MSQ, or at least it was when I did it lol. It was required to progress in MSQ. Maybe I'm misremembering though

    No you're not, it was made pretty necessary since Shadowbringers. Can't even progress through the last patch of ARR without it completed.
