add more content to MSQ roulette

[Krotoan]

being willing 2 run it and not being willing 2 be traped in a 2 hour movie is 2 different things

...Untrue. If you are aware of what it entails. The cutscenes are part of it. If you are unwilling to sit through them you are unwilling to run the content. The cutscenes are currently part of it.

Nope. I do what I want.

And I don't see a dungeon that I've successfully main healed through my fairy to be worth an hour of my time.

The penalty for staying is greater than the penalty for withdrawing.

Then don't complain about it when you have to "endure" it. You picked the roulette, you know it's in there. Don't run it if you're not willing to do what it's asking you to do.

Honestly, there are even new players or individuals that level up alts through the story that do not want to see the cutscenes, but are forced into them each time—even running Castrum and Praetorium unsynced with a level 70 forces you into them. I’d rather they get rid of the Roulette and just retailer them to Squadron/Trust instances. This way, they can remove the unskippable feature; so people that want to watch can, and those who don’t want to don’t have to.

I don’t mind them spending a bit of resources on programming NPCs to take the place of regular party members. It’s not like the MSQ Roulette is a fan favorite by any stretch—and the poetics can be easily obtained a variety of other ways.

I'd be fine if there were alternatives available, and honestly I wonder why running it unsynced has the same limitations (is the flag an all or nothing thing?) Programming NPC's to deal with AOE and mechanics is a widely beneficial bit of programming and something I feel is worth the resources. Redoing the actual instances so that they're one player friendly is less so.

To be honest, they should make it optional or at least create a function/option where everyone can agree to skip cutscenes altogether or enjoy them. Being stuck for 30+ minutes feels like a terrible chore more than anything else.

Generally the argument against this is people will be pressured to vote "skip" even if they don't want to or one newbie will be majority voted into skipping when they don't want to. Again.. why are you running the roulette if you don't like the content? There are more "efficient" ways of getting tomes/XP
