Why is leaching tolerated in MSQ roulette?

So.. they're going ahead to make the run faster for everyone while still allowing the new players to enjoy cutscenes and this is bad how? Those fights end in literally seconds, there is no longer any value to them. Cutscene or not, new players participating in those fights for the entirety of them are getting nothing from them except having to press buttons a few times.

What "weight" are people sitting in cutscenes pulling exactly? And calling a stupid feature an "exploit" to try to demonize someone is pretty asinine. Would you call the people who used the log out exploit to friend their alts against SE's will also somehow morally wrong? Although it's pretty laughable that you'd even bring the "high ground" into a conversation about a video game in the first place.

I'd much rather have someone getting around the enforced cutscenes to do the run faster than having a person standing AFK and forcing everyone else to pick up their weight.

Are you for real? I can't tell if you're being obtuse on purpose or not.

SE made the cutscenes unskippable because new players were being forced by the rest of the group to skip them or be booted from the party... they were being forced to not watch/participate in the culmination of the ARR story arc. Logging out and then back in to forcibly skip the otherwise unskippable cutscenes IS an exploit. The fact that you're even deputing this, when SE made this change for the aforementioned reason, says a lot about you and it would not surprise me if you engage in this behaviour.

As for "weight", that previous poster took a superior, snotty attitude, as if they were doing everyone a favor by gaming the system, and for easy content, at that. They were initially hostile to others, acting as if they were somehow above them for using a known exploit. I pointed out how ridiculous this was, and you somehow have a problem with that? Really now? They also expect to reap the rewards given by the roulette for sitting through the unskippable cutscenes, when the reason the payout is even that high to begin with is for the amount of time invested. You, just like them, are NOT entitled to those rewards for cheesing through the dungeon, period. Don't like it? Don't bloody well queue, bucko.
