Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

[BunnyChain]

While I haven'T been doing that roulette for a long time (probably since HW launch) this is certainly not how you go about 'fixing' the issue. Even the current, soon old, way of running it doesn't entice me for those tomestones. This change will decrease the amount of players willing to queue for it.

Personally I like the idea of the CS cant be skipped. They should put something like "New Player detected, All Cutscenes cant be skipped" in all duties.
I'm not trolling, you are playing Final Fantasy, read the story! Back in 3.0 when I was helping some friends with the lv 60 dungeon and even praetorium or castrum I was queing as tanker to prevent cutscene skipping from others. Because I wanted to be sure they could experience all the story.

I see this sentiment fairly often, and while yes, it is a FF title, you also have to keep in mind it's not a single-player game. MMOs draw people for all sorts of various reasons. Some will love MSQ, some have absolutely no interest in it.

That's what really gets me. This change won't only hurt the roulette-goers, it'll hurt the people running through it the first time who don't give two damns about that sort of thing. No one wins with this 'solution'

But it's not really a problem outside of these two. They learned from their mistake pretty quickly and new things like that are broken up. The big cutscenes for Thoradin are *between* Aetherochemical Research Center's last boss and Singularity Reactor's first, so people can watch them without making anyone else wait very long.

It's part of the story of the game. I think it's the right thing people wait for people who want read the story.

It might be right but the vast bulk of the player base don't want to spend the time doing it so the MSQ roulette will just die and the queues will go up

Problem is, MSQ CS are long and boring (to many in one dungeon) and the people who have already seen it don't wanna keep seeing it. SE just shot themselves in the foot with this one. New players are going to have an even harder time finding a group. Their only best bet is to have FC/linkshell members help them.

The 30th time you see it, it's not part of the story. It's just making you wait and get annoyed.

There's better solutions for these two dungeons. This is not one of them. The main effect of this is going to be to jack queue times way up unless the rewards are buffed massively.

If this change goes live you can pretty much kiss new players goodbye. I will not personally sit in an hour long dungeon so some random green-leaf I'll never see again can complete his MSQ with the oh-so-well written main scenario in tact.
