    The story is an important part of the ff14 experience, if you don't have time for a few cutscenes, don't queue a roulette: SE is giving a big bonus of EXP as a bait (or if you prefer "in exchange for your patience").

    On the other hand FFXIV is a MMORPG: another big part of the gaming experience is playing with others.

    I saw that kind of changes (=soloing the main story) in LOTRO: you receive an "ispiration" buff => high HP regen and huge boost in dps.
    It may seem a good idea, but I feel alone, and I have less chances to socialize.

    "you are exaggerating, it's only for Praetorium". Why? why not ifrit normal, titan, shiva or Bismark? and after that, why not for sastasha, or GG library?
    This could become a stepping stone for "completely soloing ffxiv".

    There is already too much solo content, do we need to change a group content?
    The story is important, and making these two dungeons specifically solo enhances that story by removing any way for others players to detract from it.

    "A few cut scenes" is putting it very mildly, you will be in the dungeon for 30 minutes+ not including queue time if all cut scenes aren't skipped and you have to wait for other players to finish as well. The extra experience from this will have to match up to the amount of time it will take to queue + actually run it. Chances are math will be done after the release and I have a good feeling even PoTD at 60+ will be faster EXP. But that's just my personal expectations.

    Yes, you are exaggerating, other content wouldn't be touched because these two dungeons have very specific problems that no other dungeons/trials do. They have long cutscenes that break up the whole flow of the dungeon itself. No other dungeon or piece of content has this in a grouped setting.

    There's already so much solo content, but these two dungeons right here would benefit the most from being made solo. As a mentor you should want what is best for sprouts, and making this dungeon solo would be the best possible solution for the dungeons without removing or editing the cutscenes.

    We all get what a mentor is there for, what you're missing here is that you would prefer to have more ways to play mentor rather than have a overall positive change for sprouts. Being against changes because they reduce your capacity to mentor for the benefit of sprouts experience is just as bad as being someone who got the crown just for looks in my opinion.
