Anybody else got tired of scripted fights?

Few are willing to waste more than the minimum time necessary to clear the content. They've got other things they want to be doing. They don't want to deal with the drama that occurs when people start arguing over how to do something.

Optional bosses inevitably get ignored when most groups are formed through random matchmaking.

Player A doesn't want to waste time on the optional boss, they're just there for the roulette bonus.

Player B already got whatever reward the optional boss drops. It's a waste of their time because there's nothing in it for them.

Player C would like to do it but can't get anyone to agree because Player D has tuned out party chat while they're watching Netflix.

They're nothing more than a source of drama and no one wants to waste time on drama.

You have so little faith in people playing this game. Looking at forums and some in-game converstaions, can understand why, tho.
Re-doing the entire dungeon system this way probably will end up in a big backlash just cuz noone want to leave their comfort zone. And this... unwillingess to ask for something new, something more interesting than tb-raidwide-aoe-repeat when that might mean we'll need to put in more effort is kinda making me sad.

Optional bosses don't bother me... Having to watch 4 hours of cutscenes on main story roulette because a handful of people on here cried about not getting to actually participate in combat because they wanted to watch everything however is another story...

Not sure where you're heading with this.
MSQ roulette have it's own share of problems, there's no denying it. Poor execution on SE side shoudn't discourage us from voicing our concerns, however.
(I almost wrote an entire paragraph about MSQr, but this isn't really the topic for it.)
