    Add iLevel restrictions to Alliance Roulette

    No long explanation needed for this.

    Alliance Raid Roulette is being cheesed.

    Suggestion:
    Add ilevel restrictions to alliance raid roulette, so at eg. level 50 you need min ilevel of world of darkness to queu, 60, min ilevel of Dun Scaith to queu and so on and so forth.

    Kind of like you need a certain ilevel to do expert roulette, mentor, etc. but following your level base.

    This won't matter if you also don't add more raid requirements to the roulette. Level 60+ alliance raids are optional and it's very easy for most people to only do the CT raids and be rewarded with guaranteed CT through roulette every day for solid experience when leveling up.

    At this point, with all the raids we have now:
    Add crystal tower to MSQ roulette since it's required for main story.
    There, problem solved.

    And if this is a matter of group size differences in a queue, mentor roulette seems to be able to do it just fine.

    These item level requirements already exist.

    You require 50 for Labyrinth, 70 for Syrcus, 90 for WoD, 175 for Void Ark and so on.

    Then it will just be Void Ark roulette. CT has a lot going for it to make it come up. It's required for MSQ. It's used in relics. It can be the only raid series that someone needs to unlock.

    The only real way they're going to fix things is to make those other raid tiers more attractive to run. Make them reward more so someone doesn't think X amount for a 15 minute run is worth it anymore. Prae took longer than Castrum but people still bailed constantly on Castrum because Prae was the better value. There will still be the reasons now besides ilevel cheesing that CT will come up a lot, but the only reason they're ilevel cheesing now is because they don't have incentive not to.

    The only way to stop ilvl cheese is

    for the roulette to look at your current level of the job you are queuing as.

    Then if you have the alliance unlocked and meet the level requirements to sync your ilvl up to the content.

    I feel like somthing should be done to try and encourage more play of the non-CT raids. I was gobsmacked last night when I got The Orbonne Monastery haha.

    This really didn't need another thread. It's already going in the same direction. If you come up with a solid new idea that takes everything into account, then it might be worth a new thread.

    The reason why everyone gets Crystal Tower is because its the only raid series that is required by MSQ and its the lowest level raids. People leveling alt jobs just tend to be there because of their level. Item level cheesing is a low percent as to why we get CT all the time. New players come in everyday, and there is sooo many people who don't unlock the other alliance raids. So unless the MSQ ties them all together; just expect a lot of CT raids.

    I've got tired of making counter-arguments to this because it's posted every day, but Mrhappy made a video on it https://youtu.be/RCoooKmF6NU?t=761

    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."
