    Unskippable cutscenes in Alliance Raids would be a quick way to kill Alliance roulette. Almost as quick as that time back in SB when the devs got a wild hair up their rump and decided everyone should be allowed to roll need on any gear that drops, regardless of role.

    Still don't know what made them decide to do that to this day.

    Did you join MSQ roulette recently? There are always players running that although it has the longest cutscenes.
    People even run guildheists which don't give a worthwhile reward.

    Rolling need on everything only works if people have the same understanding of need. FFXIV is different, people roll need because they can. Not necessarily because there is actually a "need"

    Do you know why that is? Because they had to buff it twice following the forced cutscene change. When that were first implemented, the roulette immediately died.

    Even if they were to slightly buff Alliance Roulette's EXP, it has another problem: naked queuing. If we're all suddenly forced to watch Nier cutscenes, I can all but guarantee even more people will simply force Crystal Tower to spawn. Why wouldn't they? Crystal Tower is already 50% faster for the same reward. Now you wanna make it 60% faster.
