    Too many people to quote a reply at, however—

    Suggesting that "no one will queue for MSQ" is simply inaccurate (as in, you have no way of proving this statement). At any point after this change, the non-new players queuing will be greater than 0 (it is far more likely than not that this statement holds).

    In accordance with the above, putting myself in the shoes of a new player, I would rather wait a longer time for these dungeons, if a shorter time means getting yelled at to skip skip skip. S-E, apparently, agrees.

    Refitting the Leveling Roulette to accommodate for 8 player dungeons is very, very simple. It is not this enormous undertaking that has been suggested.

    How long would you be willing to wait? 30 minutes? An hour? 2 hours? A new player running into that is going to quit the game, I sure would have. If story content that blocks progress is next to dead what hope is there for content beyond in the eyes of a new player?

    Personally, over an hour wouldn't bug me. Not even two. I'd just read a book while I wait.

    Personal opinion aside, if it blocks progress that much, I suspect the new dungeons will go into the Leveling Roulette to solve that problem.

    That's you though. I don't think most people would be willing to wait that long.

    EDIT: To further support my point, look at how much people complain about dps queues. This will be a similar problem, only much, much worse.

    If they will merge it into any other roulette - it'll be the 50/60 roulette which from my experience a lot less people queue for to begin with.

    EDIT: lmao totally forgot about the hest roulette, nm all the rest of what was here

    Hello fellow famfrit resident.

    I disagree. I have done the MSQ roulette every day since i started playing again in november. No one tells people to skip. they just leave them behind. Its 2 different things. The people being left behind either skip as well or people wait, up to the player. The fact is the MSQ roulette is too small of a selection in dungeons that ONLY getting Prae or CM means EVERYTIME i queue for it now I HAVE to watch the cutscenes, instead of instructing players (who are willing) to watch it in the Inn
