    What makes this silly though is that your forced to watch Cutscenes WHEN NOONE IS NEW TO THIS.

    Realistically forcing people to watch cutscenes is the most stupid and lazy decision made for this. Whats worse is that its not actually that hard to rework this to eliminate the tedium.

    1) Just made most of castrum an instance and change livia into a trial fight. Castrum easily fixed.
    2) Make most of praetorium an instance and just make the ultima fight also a trial. Praetorium fixed.

    The real issue here is that people arent gonna run this in the long term and it will end up in the same state as the alliance raids were prior to the introduction of the alliance raid finder. Its just sheer lazy patching to do so and introduces more problems than it solves.

    Wow.
    Pretty sure they meant when there is no bonus for someone being new to the duty, thus nobody new to it in that run.

    The way they say it the meaning can be either way.

    In any event if they don't like to wait they are free to run any of the other Roulettes. I will continue running it every day that I have time. It is a non-stress duty for leveling my tanking classes. And the Poetics are nice for all of my relics I am working on.

    I think they did this to prevent speculative queuing. For instance, you could queue for Main Story Roulette, and if anyone had a bonus (and thus cutscenes were unskippable), you'd immediately leave and take the penalty. I doubt this would be a super popular thing to do, were it possible, but it's smarty not to give people any incentive whatsoever to leave. If you queue, you know what you're getting. (Though with Praetorium being so much longer I could see people leaving unless they get Castrum, too.)
