No. /thread

The fact is people brought this on themselves anyway. You basically had the people who were watching the cutscenes during the dungeon for the sake of their enjoyment of the story, which is what the devs intended. And then you had the people speedrunning. This gave people reasons to be awful to one another, and SE stepped in.

It will never and should never be changed back.

Consider this... if they allowed us to skip the cutscenes again they would also reduce the xp reward for the msq roulette (because its as high as it is due to the length of time the cutscenes eat up). Once you realize that you can't have the massive xp AND skippable cutscenes at the same time you'll come to the conclusion that just not doing the msq roulette is the way to go if you truly find it to be "pain and rage".

It's rather frustrating to be forced to watch those cutscenes again and again, when you did it some years ago without being forced to do so. Nowadays people are semiAFK and have no fun doing the roulette. It feels like hurting oneself for exp. Back then we were rather motivated to do these runs as fast as possible and everybody was present. I don't see the point in forcing people to watch cutscenes again and again when there is no first-timer. And to say that the roulettes give you "THAT much exp and the only reason you are getting that much is because time put there" is the wrong way to reward people. At the end of a guild hest you get rewarded for completing them fast and without anyone dying.

You get rewarded for your effort and not for time you put there. To be frank, the exp from MSQ roulette feels like a compensation and not like a reward.



This way of thinking achieves nothing and is rather rude.

Every aspect of the game should be inviting and fun to do, even the MSQ roulette. Rewards are nice, but they should not be the only reason to do roulettes. I enjoy most roulettes because they offer a variaty of content and are fun to do. Praetorium and castrum used to be fun.

But you aren't being forced to do it and the main reason you get that much exp is because of how long it is. If they granted the ability to skip the cut scenes, then you lose that huge amount of exp... Do you not understand that? You would lose it, thus lose the reason you are claimeing that you almost feel forced to do it.

If it bothers you that much, just dont do it. It is only two missions you get out of it and thus, you know dang well what you are getting into when you que up for it.

Telling people that "they can watch cutscenes one their own time" on a roulette that is designed to help new players get through that content isnt fun.

But, lets play devils advocate here, if they somehow implimented the abilitiy to do said roulette with the stipulations that if there is no new person trying to do said content then it would allow the use of skipping cutscenes, BUT, made it so that the exp was dropped to normal lvls, would you be ok with that?

Because, lets be real here, they can't just leave it the same and let you get the same exp for running it while skipping because if a new player did get qued in with those wanting to skip, players would just vote kick said person out so they could skip, and if you left an option in for the new player to skip thus allowing people to skip, the new player would be bullied into doing that and if you let all players just skip, the new player would be put through the horridness that was before where they had no clue what even was going on and things are just killed before they have a chance to even finish the cutscene.

Again, that roulette only has like two in it, if it bothers you so much, just dont do it.
