Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

I've avoided doing this roulette for over two years.

At least allow skipping in unsync groups, I usually prefer to just clear trash and alttab to streams as I help FC newbies. Just until we see most of the repeat player audience dwindle enough to consider reversing this decision.

While I appreciate the intent of the cutscenes in CM and Prae not being skippable for in the event of a new person in the party, the rewards aren't really worth it in the long run.

I think if the gil reward in the daily bonus and Adventurer in Need bonus is highly substantial enough, I'll give it a try more often to help the newbies in need. (I'll take some extra gil for glams and housing stuff.)

I mean ARF and the 24-man raids give quite a bit of poetics in less than 30 minutes, even when there are no new people there.

Glad I got my run done.. after that patch a lot of people are going to be stuck on those two instances.

[Skivvy]

I'll still run it - if I get a full level of exp each time. lawl.

Two whole levels of exp*

We've had more than our fair share of long duties where you had NPCs fight by your side. Hell, with 4.1, we had a group of 4 NPCs abide by mechanics better than some pugs. They more than have the technology to let us run these dungeons solo, they just won't for some reason.

[Squintina]

I'm going to keep track of how long it takes right now and how much % exp I get.
Then I'll do the same thing once 4.2 comes out.

If the rewards don't scale appropriately, I don't know if I'll bother. (so if it takes 3x as long, I'm expecting the % of exp I get to be about 3x as much). This has always been my favorite roulette for leveling my secondary healers a little bit every day, and if I saw there was a new person, I would usually put in party chat a message for them to enjoy the CS even if we move on ahead because we could handle it and they'd get to see the fights many times in the future.

I'm also wondering, and made a thread for this, if these rewards/requirements will adjust based on whether we actually have a new player or not. Many times I get groups with NO new player bonus. If we've all done this before, it should automatically adjust back to the old way of letting us skip CS and providing the old rewards.

[Baingoleth]

I'll do these dungeons still. I already stop and wait for anyone who is watching cutscenes even when the rest of a party runs ahead.

[Inuk9]

If the rewards are doubled, maybe Ill queue for it, otherwise bye bye

[LaylaTsarra]

The sad part about this is that people actually trying to complete story are going to HAVE RIDICULOUS queue times for their duties because I can't see people waiting for the duty to pop and then have to sit through all of the cuts. It's just not going to happen and those doing story will be the losers. Most will simply queue for a relevant dungeon at their level to make up for the experience they lose from the roulette.

Edit: My suspicion is that they'll see soon enough how it's not working and will be forced to change it.
