Dear Devs,
Please. Fix. Alliance. Roulette.
I use to enjoy queuing into alliance roulette to help level my DPS jobs, as well as get clusters. Now a days I avoid it all together. The reason for this is because I am sick and tired of getting Labyrinth of the Ancients every single day. Seven days a week.
And yes, I realize that there are so many people cheesing their gear so that they only get Labyrinth, which forces so many other people to get Labyrinth, which is really unfair. I understand that with SHB, there has been an influx of new players playing old content, so when I see that the duty has bonus, I am a bit more understanding. But when you get LOTA for seven days straight with no bonus, it gets tiring extremely fast.
I would like to play and experience the other alliance raids that you devs have put so much work into. I would like to get some level 60 raids, or some level 70 raids. I would like to level up on those raids and continue to practice my rotation on those bosses and mechanics. It's a shame that I haven't seen any level 70 raids in over a few months. I'm lucky if I ever see a level 60 raid at all.
And I know the community response is going to be "it's an easy clear" or "it's really fast", and "it's fool proof"
1) Yes it's easy and that's extremely boring. Doing the same alliance raid gets old and boring.
2) Syrcus Tower is much faster if you really care about speed
3) No it is not fool proof in the slightest. I've been in raids where the alliance wipes to: Zombie Dragon, the 3 demons + bomb trash, Behemoth wipes, and you all know it's nearly expected to wipe at the final boss too.
And if folks don't like wiping to the bosses at the Lv 70 raids, then teach people how the fight works. It is old content, but since people can't seem to get into it, they'll never learn how those fights work.
I don't know if this is possible, but maybe the devs can put in a fix where, whatever job you are queuing with, you have to wear the minimum item level for the latest alliance raid that you have unlocked. Just like how other raids and dungeons have minimum item gear, I would like to see alliance raid have those same rules. Otherwise, just rename it to LOTA Raid, or Lv50 raid at best.
