Newbies will still be able to clear msq if they maintain the current roulette because people are still doing it, people are just REALLY unhappy about unskippable cutscenes, but many will go through with it anyway simply for the high reward payout, while others would be happy with less for no cutscenes.
    Those people have several options that give less exp but dont have any cutscenes at all to choose from.

    Those who are willing to suffer through the cutscenes for the high reward help new people to get through the dungeons - and those who dont want to suffer through the cutscenes can get their exp or tomes many other ways. I dont see a reason to adjust this roulette - dont wanna see the cutscenes? Dont do it.

    But I want to do it, I just don't always want 50 minutes of cutscenes, same as many other people, deal with it. Nothing wrong with asking or suggesting. Deal with people asking for things too. There is literally nothing wrong with this suggestion, newbs will still get their que, and players will still get their rewards, I think you are disagreeing for the sake of argument. smh

    So, you really just want to do those two MSQ-roulette-dungeons?

    I'm sorry I'm not totally following your logic here - if there was an option to do those dungeons without the cutscenes the current roulette-reward would be cut by a lot. Currently you're getting such a high reward to reflect the amount of time those dungeons take - so probably about 45-50 minutes. If memory serves right there is maybe 10 minutes of fighting/running/gameplay involved and the rest is cutscenes, right? So if those cutscenes were removed you'd get exp worth 10 minutes of dungeon, which will be less than any on-level dungeon you could run in about the same time.

    I havent done the roulette in ages because for me there are better ways to get exp so I dont know how much exp you're getting from it currently. My guess would be however that this amount would have to be cut by at least 80% if the cutscenes werent involved (based on my previous assumption that about 80% of the time spent with the dungeons is spent with cutscenes - maybe they'd even account for you not offering to help new people enjoy the end of ARR anymore by queueing for a roulette without cutscenes and will further cut the exp).

    I'm not disagreeing with making suggestions, I'm merely trying to point out why the roulette is the way it is and why your suggetion isnt a good one. You missunderstood why the roulette is in place - its not there for you and your reward, its for new people to get to see the climax of ARR without having to rush through it.
    I made my suggestion for you: If you dont want to deal with that, use any other possible option to gain exp and keep in mind that if they were to be fair about your suggestion the cutscene-free MSQ roulette would only give a tiny fraction of its current exp while potentially hurting the people it was put in place for.
    You're saying yourself that you'd like the idea that those dungeons are beong turned into solo-instances and I agree thats a great idea! It would also mean that the MSQ-roulette would be gone - and if you agree with that idea, you can already treat it that way and dont do the roulette if you're not willing to do what it asks of you.
