Roulette: Main Quest Scenarios...

because the only reason we got the huge rewards is because the cutscenes were enforced.

...to the benefit of the new players, no? take out the new players and what reason do we have for cutscenes?

where does this idea come from? if the cutscenes are for new players. How does skipping cutscenes equate to less rewards earned for players that have seen them and no new player is affected at all?

Because before cutscene were made unskippable, rewards were a third of what they currently are.
And all newbies were forced to skip cutscenes.

...to the benefit of the new players, no? take out the new players and what reason do we have for cutscenes?

The problem is, there's no fair way to differentiate between them.
The moment you have a distinction between having new players and not, you exclude new players.
No one will want to run it if there's a new player. Get a new player? Kick them.

Do you honestly think they'd let you have the same rewards for something you can complete in 15 minutes due to mashing the skip button?

Time spent in the roulette tripled, therefore so did the reward.

no reason for it to remain on screen for so long.

There is a perfectly valid reason. There are multiple different client language settings. All languages must be able to hear and/or read the same scene in the same period of time and as such, all cutscenes are paced at the slowest language. What can be said or read in English might only take 10 seconds, but in other languages it might take 15 seconds and it is extremely selfish of players to want to hamper the experience of other players because they are dissatisfied with content that they don't actually HAVE to do.

Don't worry, there will (yet again) be another new one tomorrow
