Add iLevel restrictions to Alliance Roulette

[Cach]

Why is this subject so popular these days? influencer did a video or something?

I really would like SE to address this directly, even if they end up taking no action on it. I remember poking and prodding this system back in Shb and reaching uneven conclusions.

As far as CT is concerned, I agree that it needs to be changed, but seeing SE's rationale lately I don't think a simple ilvl adjustment will be enough. I think there is a possibility of a CT redesign after they finish with Duty Support.

That could work too tbh. Just redo CT, keep it simple but don't make it a snoozefest. And reassess a way to prevent people from stipping naked and cheese it, since then chances are there isn't much you can cheese through.

Costly? Maybe.
But that's what SE's been doing the past months, so who knows.

I don't think you can avoid making it a snoozefest. They could redo the whole place and people would just get tired of it all over again. Even if the cheese were to go away, it would still come up a lot of times.

I feel like I'm weird when it comes to this. I'm excited when I get Ivalice/Nier/Agalia (spelled wrong?).
Unlike others I don't need higher rewards to want to do those. They're fun and that's the most important part for me. Especially consodering...this IS a game.

The last 3 times I've done alliance roulette (within the last week), I got one Lab and two WoD. The first two, I saw a 67 in my party, so it was already slim pickings. In the most recent, it was someone's first time.

Folks can talk about the cheese all they want, but we're so far into this discussion on two threads and there's still no real solution that doesn't have the potential to really change things for the better for all. If cheese was the one and only factor in roulette selection, this would be a different conversation and we'd actually be in agreement on a change being necessary.

Firm believer that is what happens. You can be sure when they get the duty that they are in one with level 50 players. I always check my party and 9/10 there is a 50 and that is only one alliance.

Yes, this exactly what happens. When you queue for Duty Roulette you are doing that thing in Shadowbringers where he goes "Warriors from beyond the rift heed my call" and you are heeding said call. XIV has a really REALLY cool way of integrating its mechanics with its own lore.
