    This change was never going to "fix" alliance roulette because ilevel cheese was never the main cause of "Crystal Tower Roulette" in the first place.

    Fact is, CT is the lowest common denominator. It's lowest level and the only set everyone is guaranteed to have unlocked. In order to get Nier in roulette, every single person has to be level 80+ and have the raid unlocked. Meanwhile it only takes a single player below level 60 to toss the other 23 people in CT. It will ALWAYS be the most common raid, ilevel cheese or no.

    There was a time when CT was not required for the MSQ and it was still always CT in the roulette. It's because it's the lowest level. But being required just adds to it even more.

    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."

    Yep, if even one person queues up on their level 50-59 alt job, boom 23 other people get CT.

    then move it to the MSQ roulette. or better delete them from the game as the msq no longer meter any way after the second part or 6.0
