Remove the CT 24 man

Item level sync the MAX item level of the Coils of Bahamut tier it got paired with.

- Min. i50 + Max. i90 for Labyrinth of the Ancients
- Min. i70 + Max. i110 for Syrcus Tower
- Min. i90 + no cap for World of Darkness.

That and potentially an HP/damage rework due to potency and stat differences compared to 2.1 / 2.3 / 2.5. Even with a gate on item level bosses like Behemoth and Xande are dying stupidly fast, due to a combined effort of higher potencies, higher stat scaling, uncapped item level and new jobs with heavily bloated Lv50 potencies (RDM, DNC for instance).

All in all, Lv50 Alliance raids are unfairly easy and really bummed me out back then when I first did it in Stormblood - and it only got worse over time.

It also doesn't help that it's literally required to progress the main scenario, so literally everybody has to do it, which is likely another one of the reasons it comes up so frequently in roulette.

Sounds like another reason to at least make them semi-interesting rather than a hallway simulator to me.

hallway simulator

Isn't that just a summary of the current design philosophy?

Yes if you want to water it down to this term.

The problem isn't things being a hallway sim in by itself, but rather how it is just a white-box corridor with a PNG of the boss doing some fortnite dance moves and then going *poof*.

I want bosses to spit in my face and call me weak, not fall over in a minute flat. I mean, Syrcus Tower clears are currently faster than Lv90 dungeons and the only reason Labyrinth doesn't end up this short is because of the hallway filler. The bosses are still basically PNGs though.

Hey now, in the case of raids and trials you don't even get the hallway!

Sometimes I like getting them when I want a quick run but it’s nice getting something different like Dun Scaith (one of my favorites to this day).

They reworked the MSQ Prae, Castrum, and Ultima which are a lot more engaging now so they could do the same with Crystal Tower.

I don't mind CT but I am tired of pretty much only getting them. I rarely, and I mean rarely, ever get any of the other raids. Especially the Nier ones. If they increased the rewards respectively for each raid set, I'm sure we'd see more of a variety.

Okay but sprouts need it for MSQ so you’ll have to find a solution for that. I don’t think ilevel cheesing is why it pops so often, I mean it plays a part but there’s sprouts and also people who just haven’t unlocked other raids for some reason.

Personally I don’t mind it, I only use AR for leveling anyway so having the fastest raid doesn’t bother me one bit. If I want to do a different raid I just queue for it directly.
