Also, lemme get this straight: If I queue up, while fully aware that cutscenes are to be unskippable for the sake of first time players/characters (because alts are a thing), but am given no first timers, I am to either be punished by time or, under your system, by bonus experience (that I queued up specifically to get) because the game didn't bother putting me with a new person?

Does your system at least allow the bonus to be given if you queue up again and then get a first timer? Otherwise you're advocating a system that can deny bonus experience based on a quirk of luck or the game's matchmaking algorithm. I mean, I know it's called a roulette, but it shouldn't be that much of a gamble.
None of the other roulets give you THAT much exp and the only reason you are getting that much is because time put there. You are not being punished, no one said you even had to do it and as far as i know, main scenario is only like 2 long missions that you can get, so you know that when you que for it, you are gonna get one or the other. If they removed the auto watch cutscene for there being no first timer, then the bonus for all the time there would be dropped as well.
