We were all new at one point and a lot of us did this together without any players with clears helping.Its easier now anyway and im sure fc's will still help players clear it.
While a lot of players are trying to claim it will cripple new players their real gripe is not being able to use it for fast tomes and xp which was not the intent of the story roulette in the first place.
There was someone on reddit that queued for the main story roulette this week and waited over an hour...cant have so much new players if it takes that long to even fill now when people still queue for it. I already waited a lot of time in queue as a DD when it was still ARR..only the roulette seems to have helped the queue times a bit and if people dont go into that roulette anymore we will at least get back to the old wait times if not longer...

People are just going to use other methods to farm xp and tomes (alliance roulette for example ). Its truly just the newer players that will be hurt by that. You will have those that dont want to watch cutscenes even if they are new and that are now forced. You will have those that will wait longer thanks to people not using that roulette anymore and I doubt that a FC is truly that willing to run each single new member through this. We tried that with our old FC where we would pull a handfull of new players through that. Even without the change and waiting for them it was getting annoying quite fast.

So no this will be bad for newer players.
