Can this be copy-pasted on every single page of one of these threads?

Just run it with 8 people and skip the entire thing, easy as that

Unfortunately, you'll still get your players who want ALL the reward for zero effort and that is sad when the effort required is already just stare blankly at the screen and press a couple of buttons.

Even if Square makes this solable, you'll still get people complaining they can't get the bonus anymore.

The fun part’ll be when it’s the same people who complained about the cutscenes.

Especially before the Gaius fights in Praetorium. So please don't jump the gun and think everyone is a skipper just because they're sitting there waiting for everyone else to catch up.

I don't think anyone would pay attention to that if you're just waiting. How are they even going to know that you got out earlier if you didn't do anything except sit there and wait for the others to catch up?

The issue is entirely about people who use that gained time to attack the boss while others are still locked in the cutscene. If you got out early and started the fight, that's what would make people suspicious. So just wait those few seconds longer.

Cannot speak for others but I wish to speed content along since I just want my daily reward and that is all. I like to play my video games not watch them. Thankfully I rarely run into people that get all upset about skipping and often run into people that did not even know they could do it. Either way I do not heal or tank content to help others I just enjoy the role and will perform it to best of my ability, I do not really care about much of anything else. If it turns out a run is too slow or do not feel like waiting around I will leave no skin off my back. It is not the end of the world.

They should just make a solo instance and be done with it.

I agree, the MSQ roulette and all dungeons and trials should be changed so they are solo instances or can be completed with trust. Then i would never have to deal with anyone ever again, that would be beautiful.

This is sarcasm right? My sarcastic meter is going off.





Please be sarcasm.

It could be, but you should absolutely know there are a handful of players actually like this. This would be stupid to consider though.

I know this is most likely sarcasm, but considering the two MSQ roulette dungeons are what I'd personally call the worst designed dungeons in the game specifically because of the 40+ minutes of cutscenes in them, I'm not sure they really fall into the same category as any other dungeon or trial.

Whatever people's reasons for not liking the way they are now, turning them into trust dungeons would really be undoing what was a terrible design decision in the first place. They should have been solo duties to begin with.

I happily punish them with commendations for making the worst designed instances in the game suck a bit less.
