There is a lot of people who haven't unlocked those raids, thus only letting them get Crystal Tower when they do their alliance raid roulette. It won't fix all of the problems since CT is early game, but it will help a lot.
There's also a lot of people that don't unlock any of the normal raids either (not even Alexander), as well as optional dungeons and trials (like Hildebrand ones). Are we going to insist they all become mandatory for the MSQ too? Alliance raids aren't so amazing that everyone NEEDS to do them all.

I'm fine with making the alliance raid roulette locked behind needing to unlock all content within it though, in fact ALL roulettes should work like mentor roulette does, since the idea is that you're giving yourself up to chance/helping fill other people's queues for extra rewards, and it's not fair to rig the outcome like that by purposefully not unlocking things.

I also wouldn't be adverse to upping/expanding said rewards across all roulettes to create even further incentives. I mean, geez, trial and normal raid roulette rewards are so anemic (even as AoN) they're barely worth doing over a guildhest roulette.

People shouldn't be "forced" to engage in content they don't want to though. I don't even do alliance raid roulettes anymore since it became "contaminated" with raids I can't do synced like Mhach/Ivalice/Nier, and no amount of additional rewards will make me risk getting stuck with a 30 minute penalty because Puppet's Bunker popped again.

It makes me curious though if the rest of the alliance still gets the "first-time" bonus after I leave or if its voided because I bailed the moment I load in.
