Alliance raid fix?

[Jojoya]

Then why did people bother to item level cheese in the first place if according to you they were going to end up in Crystal Tower anyway? It's almost like they knew they might end up in a higher level raid. And now they will.

Up until 5.3, ilvl cheese was the way to go because CT wasn't mandatory.

After 5.3, ilvl cheese was simply to ensure that luck didn't work against them.

This still isn't going to have the effect people think for a reason I didn't catch anyone else mentioning yet.

Shadows of Mhach, Return to Ivalice, YoRHa: Apocalypse and Myths of the Realm are not mandatory unlocks. Crystal Tower is the only mandatory Alliance raid.

Out of 5 characters I have that have completed the 6.0 MSQ, you will never get anything other than Crystal Tower if I queue for Alliance raid. It's not because they'll be ilvl cheesing. They'll have at least 640 ilvl equipped. It's because they've never unlocked those other Alliance raids.

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.

Their right if they're willing to take the penalty for leaving.
