Why would you put trove coins on Crystal tower?

[Themarvin]

It is a really good question to whomever designed this trove thing and that people is really tried of anything forced Crystal Tower.

Why not put the trove coins onto the coils, and for 24 man raids SB, SHB, EW raids.

IT seem really off to me that other content is not promoted better than the usual.

Because sprouts need people to help them clear it so they can progress the MSQ. So you get rewarded for helping those sprouts.

If you would like to do it a way other than CT, there are plenty of other ways to get them.

I‘m sorry but I disagree.
Crystal Tower is probably the only think in this Game that does NOT need help to trigger.
It‘s the single most occuring A-Raid next to Labyrinth. At most I could see world of darkness here.

The Ivalice raids trigger so rarely that players nowadays don‘t even know the mechanics anymore. Hell people often leave till they get tower because they have become so used to it that everything else is a chore to them.

Yes it is important to help keep old content alive for sprouts but crystal tower is first not one of them and second the other raids can also be considered old by now.
They have an obligation to keep the entire game alive and not just this overused joke of a raid.

SE KNOWS of the problems with these raids and yet they do this here. They hold so much to their formula it‘s really annoying.
I don‘t care much for this event but this here can rightfully be criticized.

Might just be a set rotation but its pretty tonedeaf nonetheless. Sprouts certainly dont need help with the only MSQ required alliance raid lmao.

Uh, CT isn't there to help sprouts progress MSQ, its there so sprouts have a chance to get tomes as well. Since its the only MSQ required alliance raid series; it makes sense to compile everyone together at the lowest and required raids so people can farm it without waiting for queues. If MSQ finally makes the Void Ark series a requirement to do for the story; they can start doing more events based around it. CT however, will always be top choice for these events because it reaches the most players.

Where do we draw the line for that though?
Instead of leading to dead stb raids or hw raids why not use this event as the trigger for new players to unlock those and actually help them with getting into it? Like I don‘t know, actually keeping other content alive?

If anyone refuses other raids then screw them. This is an MMO. Work for your rewards and unlock them.
If new players haven‘t unlocked anything besides crystal tower than make the ARR dungeons also give tomes.

They are so fixated on ARR for all events that they forgot that HW and Stb are also old content and man do those need help nowadays.

I just think there are other ways to get new players or keep old content alive instead of pushing the side of the scale down that is already touching the ground.

always found it weird to put troves tokens only on a few selected content instead of putting it directly on roulettes

[Asari5]

putting side content into such events would be a good way to lead people to that content without forcing them to do it

I don't think even this is the case. Two mogtome events ago, it was CT. When I asked why, people used the same logic. "A set rotation." The next mogtome event was not CT. And now we have this one where it's CT again. If it is a rotation, then it's a very short cycle where CT is repeated every other rotation. Which brings us back to the OP's question of why it's done this way.

Most of the event is low leveled crap. It doesn't have to be a zero sum game, either. Just... have ct, but also have some other stuff for people who don't want to be downsynced to level 50 or 60. Easy fix.

Prae doesn't need help either. People are using plugins to remove the cutscenes and run it so quickly that they're hitting the instance cap.
