    You do have the right to not run the all of two (2) dungeons where this mechanic of unskippable cut scenes happens. There is that.

    They realized these long story-driven play-stopping cut scenes were not working so they stopped doing them. But for these two dungeons... they are there. If they are SUCH a problem for people... Don't. Run. Them. You can farm all your tomes a ton of different ways. Seriously... just don't do them. Whining about how horrible they are isn't going to change the fact that they are there and that the designers really want new players to see them. If sitting through them is THAT much bloody torture... honestly, for your sanity, just don't run it. You can bust out quick clears of other content just as fast. Go do that.

    My fc just ran this with 2 new members. Neither of them wanted cutscenes, but they also didn't want to pay $25 USD, so we all suffered together lol

    A lite version roulette would be heavenly for those of us with alts or people who don't want to watch a camera slowly pan across the dungeon as BE-WOP BE-WOP alams sound off. Less tomes/exp as a reward would be fine.

    You're under the mistaken belief that the people who fancy themselves defenders of sprouts actually care what sprouts think.

    Only issue with that is people might only want to run the lite version.

    Though I guess if the lite version gave nothing except poetics and XP people would rather run the other version, but that would probably be super confusing to make a second praetorium and make the cutscenes skippable.

    How about: Main Scenario Roulette (story mode) 200 poetics base + 300 poetics roulette bonus + however much exp the current reward is at VS. Main Scenario Roulette (lite mode) 50 poetics + however much exp the old roulette used to give ?

    Personally, I'm in the camp that would vastly prefer the 2 dungeons to be reworked into duties. No queue times, no pressure to skip cutscenes, no people rushing etc. Every player who doesn't buy a jump pot has to do these to hit HW, to eventually hit SB, to eventually hit whatever comes next. The first real story checkpoint needs to be more user friendly, imo.
