Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

Maybe people should learn to be more selfless instead of griping about changes that their own actions basically forced.

I agree with this entirely.

After loving the story up to that point, my experience with those dungeons nearly killed the whole thing for me. I wanted to participate in the fights, but I also wanted to know what was going on, so I watched the scenes on YouTube. It was not at all the same, and I still found myself struggling to keep up and barely got to do anything because I still had to wait for the scenes to load up anyway since I had never seen them before.

I'm more than happy to que up for MSQ roulette now, if only to keep this from happening to others. Yes, it is an absurd amount of scenes for a group dungeon. But I say if you don't have the time or patience, don't run roulette and just tick the ones you actually like to run. What good is XP if you're going to ruin someone else's experience and aren't having fun, yourself?

People who act all high and mighty in this thread need to seriously chill. No one who's complaining is going to be majorly hurt by this. At all. You don't want us to queue? You seriously want less people going into those dungeons?
Why do you think that roulette was established in the first place? An abundance of good souls to help newbies clear ARR?

I agree with this entirely.

Cool. Do you plan to do MSQ and only MSQ for all of your playtime so that newbies can always get in? And are you gonna make alts on other data centers too to help those sprouts as well? What happens when you're at work/class/asleep?

That's like saying that I should be the only one in the world to help the needy. It should be a group effort, just like teaching a new to understand what's going on in a dungeon they've never been in before. But screw that! I don't have time to let you experience the game; I have a dungeon to grind! That's not what I signed up for by selecting MSQ roulette!


To be fair, it's an extreme change and definitely isn't the best solution. But Squeenix's bigger mistake is that they keep bribing players to help each other out. They need to just go ahead and make solo/story versions for the MSQ. It's the only way newbies will be able to experience the story at their own pace, while also be guaranteed to clear it.
