Why do cutscenes in the MSQ Roulette play if the instance has no new players?

[Jojoya]

If the new player is kicked for unjustified reasons, then the person who initiated the vote would ideally get in trouble, since the new player would report that the voting feature was misused and then a moderator would be able to review who kicked off the vote for inaccurate reasons (like the new player being kicked for harassment despite said new player saying nothing offensive).

Also, the game doesn't automatically tell you who the new player is, just that there's at least one.

It's generally easy to tell who the new player in a group is by looking for the sprout icon then checking their gear (a first time player almost always has an eclectic collection of gear equipped because they're stuck relying on MSQ rewards).

A GM may have a hard time determining if the vote kick was being intentionally misused short of someone saying the wrong thing in chat. A lot of new players may not even be aware that misuse of vote kick can be reported and so wouldn't do it.

The simple solution here is the one that players don't want to accept - don't queue for MSQ roulette if you hate sitting through the cutscenes. Use the time to do other content for XP and tomestones.
