[Suggestion] Make Vote Skip Option Available for Main Scenario Duty Roulettes

[Melbaz]

This is entirely wishful thinking on the three players voting to skip to actually stick around. A vote-to-skip option will see an increase of players queueing up for MSQ roulette, with the hope (or possibly even expectation) that they'll get into a group in which everyone votes to skip. This hope/expectation will then cause an increased amount of situations where players will just outright drop the group if a player voted no. This can potentially cause a shift in the playerbase where players are pressured into voting to skip, similar to when these cutscenes hadn't been made unskippable yet.

As I stated in my previous post, it's just better to keep this roulette as clear as possible. The player queueing up knows what they're getting into, knows they'll be put in a dungeon that takes an increased amount of time, and knows they'll be compensated for this extra time spent. If the player doesn't find that the reward is sufficient enough, the solution is to simply not queue up, and to do something that they do find sufficiently rewarding.

I don't think that's true - if the vote is offered when you initially go to join the roulette, it could just match you up with other players who vote the same, could it not? Likewise for if you vote no. I think the idea that this is overcomplicated is a bit silly, quite frankly. I'm not advocating for anything other than a choice. And I really don't think it's asking for the moon and stars, as some of the comments would have folks believing.

The response, "well if you don't like it, do something else" seems really short sighted when most of the loudest complaints come from folks who've played the game for a long, LOOOOONG time and just don't want to continuously see the same 3 scenes from ARR. Considering how much time, money, etc. most of the long term players have invested in this game, it seems really rude to just say "your suggestion is unrealistic, move on". Know what I mean? I'm not the only one out there who wishes for this, I'm merely voicing on this forum what many, many players have agreed with me on for literal years.

Kinda defeats the original point of the roulette, don't you think? You're essentially asking for SE to split up the queue, and take away queued players from the ones that are actually queueing up because they're at that step of the MSQ. In turn, these players will end up with longer queue times, circling right back to the reason why SE had buffed the rewards to what they currently are.

The only thing shortsighted here, is turning the response of "if you don't think the reward is sufficient enough for the time spent" to "if you don't like it", but I digress. These loudest complaints from the "long, LOOOOONG" time players generally boil down to the amount of time it takes to go through this roulette, and the repetitive nature of these dungeons. Yet instead of simply valueing their own time, they continue to run these roulettes on a daily basis, all while complaining about not being able to skip the cutscenes (and somehow not getting tired of doing the exact same lvl 50 bossfights over and over again, oddly enough).

I'm genuinely curious; Why do you (and these many, many players) feel the need to get this roulette checked off on your daily to-do list? It can't be because of the big reward, since you've already stated to be fine with reduced rewards. "Because I like running roulettes" would be kinda weird, since you clearly aren't enjoying this one (hence the suggestion). And even if this suggestion were to be applied, what would stop you from getting bored from continuously seeing the same 3 instances?
