So.... Main Scenario Roulette

[GarrEphemeral]

>> Contd

To summarize my thoughts, cutscenes should be an optional thing for players to watch/do, and not mandatory. If you're a new player and you want to experience this dungeon without the confines/limitation of a skippable cutscene party, then you should seek help linkshells, or dare i say it mentor groups to put together a group of 7 people who are more than happy to run you through the dungeon, cutscenes and all. In my humble opinion it should not be something that is thrust upon (what in reality) is the vast majority of the people entering this encounter, and people that have neither the patience, or the inclination to watch the same custscenes over and over several thousand times over a period of day/weeks/years etc.

People say we should be understanding of new players, but in a majority rule, why can't people be understanding of the majority of players who don't have the wish to sit through this day in, day out.

In the absence of any movement on either end, just remove the roulette, and create a dedicated, permanent SE linkshell that optional people can join to help new players complete the dungeon, or simply link anyone looking to complete the dungeon to online mentors who can decide to accept/decline the offer to heed a new players request for assistance in a storyline quest, or something along these lines.

What we should not do is continue this path of punishing players for wanting to collect important loot.

TLDR: Just another rant about custscenes in praetorium, and another perspective on how to fix it, or reasons why we should.
