Alliance raid fix?

[CidHeiral]

So there are 3 reasons you're more likely to end up in CT:

Someone doing it for MSQ progression.
Someone leveling a job between level 50 and 59.
Someone has not unlocked the other Alliance raids.

Nobody is expecting to never see CT again after this change. "More likely" is fine. "Almost every time" is not, and that's what people were irritated by. I don't think any reasonable person would be angry seeing CT every so often because some sprouts are in the group or whatever, but getting pulled in there every single time you queue and then looking around to see people putting their normal gear back on is pretty infuriating.

You also increase the risk of getting the absolute slog that are the Nier raids.

They were a slog when they were new, I really disliked Copied Factory for that reason, but they go by fairly quickly these days.

Also that they're working on relics in two possible expansions. It used to be 3 before they removed Koh's quest for the aether oil.

Oh and it often comes up as one of the options in WT.

Rather do 30mins penalty than do 1 hour ally raid. LOL
JK I prolly wont queue ally raid. EXP/time ratio in consideration.

lmao fix raid. crystal tower is lore needed to go to shadowbringers.

In the end though, those who had gripes at the potential of being cheesed, or loved it for some reason.

Knew the fact that Crystal still will have it's large spawn rate.

Even more so us here in the forums who will have heard it endlessly had they not decided to put some focus/look into it.

I take pleasure in the fact that it's closer to intended. Rather than the unintended.

Whilst it won't be as perfect as can be, at least nothing is lost. [while it cannot please those who would likely still want adjusted difficulties for old content. for the larger majority. it'll get rid of any doubt of the luck of the draw.]
(me personally, just glad it reduced more reasons for things such like when Cas would get ditched -for bs reasons.-)

I'd temper expectations on this. While there were ilevel cheesers at times, CT is still going to be weighted heavily to come up in AR because it has the most reasons to be chosen. It's required for MSQ. This alone can make it the only raid some players ever unlock. It's tied to multiple relics. It's useful for leveling. And instead of being forced into higher level raids, the cheesers may just stop running it. I just don't see the others coming up nearly as much as some think.

I've been suggesting this for years and I am very excited that ilvl cheesing is finally dead. The only way this could be better is if they un-nerfed Orbonne.

Looking forward to watching all the cheesers get destroyed in the rest of the raids.
