    Rename the game to the Crystal Tower?

    I don’t actually think I’ve ever posted here before, which is impressive considering I’ve been playing for five years.
    So please, for the love of all that is fun and good in this world — fix the daily roulettes.

    Crystal Tower alliance raid. Every. Single. Day. Weeks on end.

    With all this potential content in the game, it’s truly inspiring that I get funneled back into a level 50 raid from 2013 over and over again. Variety is overrated, I guess. Why play anything new when we can relive the same nostalgia trip indefinitely?

    And it’s not like there’s already little enough to do in the game these days or anything.

    Oh — and while you’re at it, make sure we still get slapped with a 30-minute queue penalty when we finally snap and leave.
    Oh wait.
    That already happens. Perfect!

    The illusion of free will. No matter how many years pass, how many expansions we buy, how many new jobs we unlock, how many new instances we get, the Crystal Tower is eternal.

    We can't get better Alliance Raids because Orbonne Monastery scared the devs so much that it's the only Alliance Raid with an echo buff.

    You could simply not do that roulette if it bothers you.

    Yeah, even for the light wells grind I skipped CT by fleeing, but honestly WoD was more common for me and now I never do AR rous so I get CT exactly 0% every day, week, and months ongoing forever.

    I skipped doing AR for like three months because I was so tired getting World of Darkness every day. Sure, it's fast, but just not that fun. Lvl 50 jobs are so boring

    I understand Crystal Tower will pop up more because people HAVE to unlock it for MSQ, but surely they can put something in to make people unlock the other ones as well, right? Forcing an ilv check in the roulette has helped somewhat, but a lot of people simply don't have the other raids unlocked, which remains the core issue.

    That was fun! I'm going to take a 21 hour nap now~

    More they do that, the longer the road to endgame. Moreover, while dungeons have duty support, trials and alliance raids don't so it increases the barrier to progressing MSQ with 40 minute waits or worse.

    It's a temporary problem. You do the runs. Then you can go back to not-doing the roulette like I did.

    I don't get this acting like it's a massive problem when it's like being asked by a family member to do the washing. You do it reluctantly, then it's done, all forgotten.
