    You can run with NPC's now if you want to watch cutscenes. It f... suck every time you get this in mentor roulett, watch cutscenes for half an hour and not even getting the MSQ roulette rewards or get a lockout for 30 minutes.

    We might have different definitions of helping. For me helping isn't being forced to rewatch or idle or afk for a 20min movie I have already seen. I've done a couple thousand of those mentor roulettes and I'd rather teach someone an extreme than do Praetorium.

    Yes. This is the exact attitude that lead them to forcing the cutscenes to be unskippable. "New players can go to the inn if they want to watch cutscenes." That was LITERALLY a common response from the people ruining the new player experience. If anything, i take this reply to mean that the MSQ rewards are too high currently. Do you feel the same way when an extreme trial pops up in Mentor Roulette?

    Hot take: Anyone getting a penalty for leaving a matched mentor roulette should be locked out of said roulette until the next weekly reset. Yes, i understand that real life sometimes forces us to suddenly take a break - if it didnt id be saying they should permanently lose access. But a week is enough. They can still directly help people through NN and by joining groups, just no roulette and no achievement credit for the rest of the week.

    Actually no, i always ry toclear them, but there are a few that are really difficult to do, nike Niddhog or Sephiroth, i don't think i every cleared them in Mentor roulette.
    I also prepared Makro for most of the EX trials i usually getto explain the bosses to new people.
    The difference is that EX trials aren't a damn snoozefest where you just have to sit through.

    I am 50 duties away from goddamn horse.

    When I don't see a first time bonus, I have left every single Praetorium I get. Most of it, at least. Sometimes, I just give up.

    I'd rather teach ARR/HW extremes than sit through Praetorium cutscenes. Hell, even *shudder* Rathalos EX. You will mostly get ARR extremes from free trial players which is easy to teach and rewarding when you get a clear. I agree that Nidhogg, Sophia, Thordan, Ramuh and some others are quite unteachable.

    Of course commenter assumes the worst, commenting about completely tangent topic of getting extreme trials when the concern is about Praetorium's forced cutscenes.
