I imagine because it sets a rather terrible precedent. If they go through with an action this hostile towards new players, it's not a good sign for the future.

^ I'm all for making the MSQ soloable. New players don't have to wait for a que that never going to pop or have people leave the moment they zone in and older players don't have to sit in one dungeon for 1-2hours waiting. I think also in another thread someone jokingly (or maybe was serious) said something about trolling a group by never leaving the CS. Which isn't going to vote well at all unless you can vote kick someone while their in CS. Just kind of wanted to bring that to light also. I never tried to vote kick someone while their in a CS so I don't know if it possible or not.

I...suppose lol. I can understand and I'm frustrated about this as well...

But at the end of the day, this doesn't exactly have a huge affect on me. Yet.

I'll gladly do it if I can get an entire level or cap my weekly tomes in one go if I queue up for this thing. Basically they'll need to make the reward so ridiculously huge that players will gladly take the time to do these hour long duties

Well they tried so round of applause for actually caring about the newer player base to say the least.

Better solutions could be developed like making it a solo instance and removing MSQ roulette from the game. But to assume the current state is good.... (Not everyone wants to watch the cutscenes in the inn room, and to further add those that do watch the cut-scenes should not essentially be forced to not experience the combat side of the dungeon.)

That would be cool and I'd probably queue for it, but I don't see it happening.

I already have all my combat jobs at 70 so more exp isn't too incentivizing. Capping on weekly tomes would likely draw me in but I don't see that happening. Best I'd hope for reward wise is a sizeable amount of Gil, but it would have to be big and I could see it maybe ruining some servers economies if they don't do it right.

its ironic, because its supposed to give new players what they want but what its really giving them is a big f*ck you.

this does nothing to help the new player base tho...

Oh hey look, some people don't like the SMN changes, they can go too. Ah, and a lot of BLMs are pretty underwhelmed by their changes; there's other games with mage classes, so let them just go too. Hey, those new guys can't get queues for that MSQ duty with the unskippable cutscenes and can't progress! Well, too bad for them, if they don't like it, they can just go find something else to play.

Well theres reason why i dont care for PVP anymore. :) Well i still play it time to time with friends but other than that i dont see bright future for that mod.

For answer your question: yes ppl should leave the game if they dont like it. This is the only option for fixing the issue. Ive seen this once and it worked but the damage was already made so no player was interested on coming back or only minority went back to the game. And its not 1.0 :)
