Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

[Mr_Gyactus]

I don't get this post. they're not saying sprouts don't deserve to have a good first experience or view the cutscenes, and in fact suggest an idea that would make both parties happy: A solo experience.

Veterans no longer have to go through the duty for the sake of a roulette, and new players get the best possible experience with the content.

Did you even read the post? Making this a solo instance would let the newbies enjoy the cutscenes to their fullest without anyone else being held hostage. And, what, do you honestly think no Mentor will bail the SECOND they see what they got? At no point was I required to do whatever content thrown at me when I became a Mentor. That's not what the role is about and thinking it is is honestly misguided entitlement. Mentors are players too and have things they don't want to run. That's what the abandon penalty is for.

Calm please. And I hope SE change how mentor is done because i found a lot of crowned pretty useless.

I hare read more than a player disappointed from this kind of rushing, not only in Praetorium but in levelling dungeons too.

The story is an important part of the ff14 experience, if you don't have time for a few cutscenes, don't queue a roulette: SE is giving a big bonus of EXP as a bait (or if you prefer "in exchange for your patience").

On the other hand FFXIV is a MMORPG: another big part of the gaming experience is playing with others.

I saw that kind of changes (=soloing the main story) in LOTRO: you receive an "ispiration" buff => high HP regen and huge boost in dps.
It may seem a good idea, but I feel alone, and I have less chances to socialize.

"you are exaggerating, it's only for Praetorium". Why? why not ifrit normal, titan, shiva or Bismark? and after that, why not for sastasha, or GG library?
This could become a stepping stone for "completely soloing ffxiv".

There is already too much solo content, do we need to change a group content?


Mentors are veteran players who chose to offer their time and experience to help guide new adventurers. To facilitate their assistance, mentors will gain access to a special chat channel as well as a means to easily register for duties and trials with new players.

As a mentor you are expected to actively perform the following:
1.Provide gameplay advice for new adventurers and other players.
2.Be an exemplar for player etiquette.
3.Invite new adventurers to the Novice Network and answer their queries in the chat channel.
