MSQ with no new bonus - cutscene skip

[Hyoon]

For the love of all that's holy, can we please auto-skip the cutscenes when the MSQ roulette has no new members?

We've all seen the scenes. They're great. But we don't NEED them if there are no new players. So why not just cut them out?

Just (ALT + F4) or (use task manager to close FFXIV) to skip cutscenes, you only really need to skip cutscenes for The Praetorium. Works better if you have another person with you (healer pref).

This is a reportable offensive, you do this to skip cutscenes and you will be reported. Learn to wait for other people or don't queue for MSQ, it's so simple.

I run MSQ roulette daily and skip cutscenes for Praetorium all the time, and I've never been reported.

The truth is most people don't really mind with the ability to teleport to the boss room after the lockout.

The fights in the Praetorium aren't exciting enough for most people to care.

When you get reported, a GM isn't going to instantly contact you to say you have had a report against you, but it does go on your record.

In regards to the cutscenes, it's an exploit and against the ToS, this has been confirmed by GMs. If I see you doing it I would report you and so should anyone else, it's not for you to decide how quick the run should go.

I know it's classified as an exploit.
I'm just saying that most players aren't going to bother reporting it.

The 'disruption of gameplay' caused from pulling the trivial boss fights early is so inconsequential that some
people even seem to view the act of doing so as a net positive, shaving time off their run.

Furthermore - Praetorium folks are generally really laid back; and no one seems to take issue with anyone that isn't being an ass or flatout leeching.

I'll keep my eyes open for reports while I continue to run the roulette and skip cutscenes I guess?

No need to worry about me starting easy-peasy boss fights early for you.
I don't believe we will ever meet in-game, being on different data-centers and all.

Might also be reportable here on the forums, sharing knowledge of exploits.

But, I'd have to actually read the forum tos to be sure of that....
