Roulette: Main Quest Scenarios...

[Seraphor]

I dont think you're reading anything im saying and just projecting your animosity against my difference of opinion on the MSQ roulette. And I DO run the highest dungeon to level my alts, I avoid the MSQ roulette, as I said before.

But then why do you want to run MSQ roulette with skippable cutscenes?

If this is all purely academic, then you have to realise. Cutscenes used to be skippable.
People complained, all the time.
Newbies were harassed and forced to skip cutscenes. people didn't 'just go to PF if they wanted to skip', mob rule won out.
The current system is the best it's ever been, the roulette gets run more often, and people don't complain about having their first experiences of content ruined, and you don't have to run the roulette if you want want to.

People complained, all the time.

Because some things will never change :P

[Machi_Machiavelli]

Yay this again.

But then rewards would only be a third of what they are...

You're rewarded for the time spent.

Negative. A guaranteed level or double tombs is a reward. What they offer isn't enough, which is why people continue to skip it.

A guaranteed level does not equal the time spent doing the Roulette, the current amount is adequate; could be increased slightly but not what you suggest. Otherwise why don't we just give every single player Road to 80 if we are going to be that greedy for exp...

What they offer isn't enough, which is why people continue to skip it.

Considering that at any given time I queue MSQ I end up #30+ in line for my role I'd say plenty enough people are still running it and they consider it enough.

He did say "EVERYONE has already seen it!" though. I mean, it make sense that if no one is new in the party, why not?

I've seen it.
I like the reward.
Don't force me to skip.


(Can also go move washer to dryer, go potty, etc with cutscenes)

So then continue to avoid it and stop advocating for changes to content you're not doing.

The MSQ roulette serves a specific purpose - to help new players fully experience the culmination of the ARR MSQ story with the help of veteran players. The cutscenes are an important part of that experience. If people don't want to be helping, then like you they should be doing other things with their time to earn the rewards they're after instead of queuing for the MSQ roulette then bothering everyone else with their complaints about having to watch the cutscenes in a roulette they didn't need to be doing in the first place.

Give [Cid] a break hes like....50? I dunno, still looks good for his age...

Actually he's 34 according to the lorebook. (So is Nero.) He definitely looks older though.

[Maero]

Not everyone has voice acting enabled. It's to give players time to read the dialog.

Yes but it is a bit excessive how slow it is.

Yeah Cid has one of those faces that gains or loses twenty years depending upon whether or not he has a beard. It's kinda uncanny lol.



As for the cutscene skip, honestly if you don't like it no one is forcing you to do it. The rewards have already been doubled twice and most people are content with what's currently offer. Would it be better if they made it a trust instance down the road to stop the complaints? Oh yes, but somehow I get the feeling that a lot of the people complaining would be mad about the lack of a high-exp roulette and whine regardless.
