[Main Story Quests] "Role-playing" duties-- can they be optional, please?

If having the extra instances is going to cause the sample problem when stormblood launched where everyone had to get in line to deal with Raubahn EX or Pipin Savage. I would much rather skip it. "A system error occurred during event movement". I had nightmares for days!!

Let's be honest, solo duties are never going away, they've been a huge part of the MSQ since the beginning, so I'd much rather keep an assortment of different types of solo duties. Especially since nothing specific about the RP ones makes them any different from the "you v. 25 lackeys & 1 boss, most likely trying to outwit your scion companion's AI more than the actual enemies" duties we get - they're all a case of "queue up and take a spot while you do your thing in your solo space."

Hey, the NPCs aren't that bad! They even respond to stack markers - which going from the Tales From the Duty Finder thread, puts them above a fair percentage of the actual player base...

Yeah, but otherwise they're all clearly standard dps since none of them ever leaves an AOE circle...
