    Crystal Tower raids still way too common in roulette

    The ilevel Alliance raid fix did absolutely nothing from what I can tell. In the past 2-3 weeks of AR roulette, I've had Crystal Tower about 15 times, most of which were LotA. Only about 5 were non CT raids. I haven't gotten Nier raids a single time in that time span .

    At this point, I feel like just skipping the AR roulette because I'm so sick to death of CT raids, but then I miss out on the XP and rewards from it.

    They really need to fix this. I'm not sure how, maybe make all Alliance raid unlocks required to complete the MSQ? Or make it so the higher your level, the less likely you are to pull CT.

    Go ahead and skip it. There are plenty of other sources of XP and tomestones.

    I realize this is anecdotal, but I feel like a lot of people said that getting CT was still going to happen frequently, and that the ilvl cheesing was not the biggest cause of those raids to pop. I feel like at least twice a day during my queuing, I get sprouts, so it seems like there is still a lot of new characters that can skew the odds towards that.

    It has reduced a bit, but since CT is still msq required, those 3 raids will always be more common.

    This mostly helped for those that wanted to do the later raids, as now those queue times has been massively improved as ilvl cheese no longer takes away players.

    And the first few weeks the ivalice raids also has shown up a lot more due to becoming f2p. But by now it has mostly settled

    While it's still common for me due to being required for MSQ and by virtue of being lower level and thus more accessible, Myth of the realm appears quite frequently too.

    The irony in this case is that the level 90 raids actually start to take even less time to clear than a Laby/WoD run (which can actually wipe a raid not like the baby park myths of the realm is lol).
    All they did is bring in an inconvenience to those who outleveled their content and cannot buy tome gear of their expansion to actually get into the raids.

    No one seriously thought it would remove CT from the roulette. It's the only one required for msq. It did make it much less frequent for me though

    CT was the most common one even before it was required for the MSQ.

    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."

    As it logically should be.

    MSQ Required Content is always going to take precedence, especially since it’s also Free Trial content. The iLv Req for Alliance Raid pushes people to unlock those raids so they aren’t sitting there dead with barely any players.
