    It's amazing that Enix has literally bribed people with a huge chunk of exp and tomes, specifically to help the new players through these MSQ dungeons and players still refuse to do so, simply taking the bribe and leaving the new player in the dust with "lol that's Prae".

    I hope you guys realize they will rework these into solo instances, remove MSQ roulette, give you nothing back to replace it and that's 100% on the playerbase. MSQ roulette is not daily exp that you are entitled to.

    Frontline is the real XP goldmine people are sleeping on.

    Shorter than prae, gives just as much XP.

    Reminder that the roulette is there for the veterans to help new people solely with queue times, not for new people to provide veterans with Xp and tomes.

    Players are entitled to whatever SE gives them because otherwise new players are stuck with dungeons that would take hours to ding. It's only a shame people don't stick to their guns and tell SE to screw themselves for ruining a perfectly fine roulette with unskippable cutscenes that can be watched on the Inn or by using PF.

    Good, that's what they should've done from the start.

    we only help with queue times, we aren't there to hold anyone's hand. If you can't watch people and figure it out, you have much bigger problems than people speed running.

    This is what I hope happens. I hate running MSQ, but I do it for the xp. I will live a much happier life when I don't have to run that crap ever again.

    People that run MSQ for exp will not care sll thst much if it gets changed to a solo instance, they will just move on to the next exp method prob frontlines.

    Do I think the MSQ roulettes would be better off as solo instances? Unequivocally. Do I think not addressing the XP or tome farming would damage retention? Very much so.

    This. And with fewer roulettes, existing roulettes have better saturation. It's not a 1:1 thing since not everyone who did MSQ roulette will do the others (it's a popular one if people are not going to be playing the game, like watching videos or playing on their phone), though for those duties that might have slow turnover time, or for people trying to queue for a post-expansion trial a bit late, they'll get in the game faster.

    Also, bear the irony of the fact you are bringing up existing players for content that is old, anyways. So what's our loss? XP, of which people who have cleared ARR already have so many great sources? Pretty minimal, especially since pixies give us so much XP now, and people at high level in general already have a greater density of roulettes to choose from, and more and more and more stuff is coming out several times a year at any moment besides now, most of it aimed at established players.
