    It is because alot of players who had already seen the MSQ were forcing new players to skip thier scenes, kicking the ones who didnt for being "afk", Yelling at first timers to hurry up and watch them in the inn!!,Being total jerks at the end with snide comments like your welcome for the carry or my shoulders are killin me from carrying your useless self as they were leaving and in general being utter reprehensible tools toward thier fellow players that this was enacted.

    Square in thier infinite grace raised the ending rewards by ALOT to compensate. Double the xp gil and tome bonus at the end of Meridianium(Still think they should match Praes bonus at this point cause I can see players eating 30s when it comes to xp simply due to the skyrocket values needed to level in ShB, and players are nothing if not in rush to the end mindset when it comes to numbers), and Triple the XP at the end of Praetorium to compensate.

    It was and is a fair middle ground new players get to experience the end of ARRs actual story the way it was meant to be experienced and others get compensated for their time. No amount of pissing and moaning about it is ever going to change that decision so might as well do one of two things either deal with it like others have, whine and moan in party chat like most have, be cheerful for more new players like a few have, or just dont do it if you dont want to have to see the scenes again like a very few have.

    Then they should have dealt with that. Act on people getting reported for that, not punish everyone else, including new people who don't mind skipping anyway.

    It's not your choice to make. it was Squares and to make up for it they gave a huge amount of reward for doing it so if you dont want to deal witht he cutscenes just stop doing it how difficult is that to get? Nobody forces you to click MSQ roulette thus the argument that its a punishment is invalid. freedom of choice ignore the reward and ignore the roulette voila no more unskippable cut scenes.

    I never saw that going on before the CS Lock was implemented and I'm glad i didn't cause that's rude and just bad manners. If it happened, that sucks and I understand the lock out, HOWEVER, i do have a solution I recently posted. Since the system can detect when a person is doing a dungeons for the first time and as a result bonus are given why not use the same system to Detect new comers and only lock the CS when there is actually a new player to the MSQ? It would cut down on the torture of the CS Lock out. I mean most the time my randoms don't even have a new player so why should we be forced to watch the CS's when there's no newbies int he group.
