The roulette is not made for everyone. It was created because people were needed to fill runs for newbies. It was MADE to facilitate getting new people through a dungeon that people had little to no reason to queue for. Of course the MSQ is for everyone, but the roulette had a very blatantly obvious reason for implementation.


1. you have no basis for this claim. You can only speak for yourself and possibly the anecdotal evidence from forum posts, of which I've seen very little actual disagreement with the fact they expect us to play casually and take breaks. I've in fact seen lament from people who see this attitude as counteractive to SE's production of "content" and wish they didn't have this policy. Thus I have just as much evidence to counter your perception as you have to counter mine. Null sum resulting. Neither of us can prove one way or the other that this actually is or isn't their actual attitude towards their playerbase.

2. Apparently not since they're doing decent business and post growing numbers and profit. Yet, this also cannot be directly correlated or disconnected from their supposed attitude. Since it cannot be proven or dis-proven, also unarguable.

3 For one roulette you can choose to skip if you want unless you're running alts in which case I agree something should be done. However securing a new customer and passing them into your currently maintained content vs making an old customer deal with a minor inconvenience (should they choose to initiate it) seems easily decided.

In the scheme of the endgame this is a minor thing. It's one roulette for a vet, but it's a gate to the rest of the game and investment in a developing story for a sprout. While I'd rather they let people unsynch it with no forced cutscenes, if it's all or nothing I'm going to side with unskippable every time. The value of the initial experience vs "well my alt.. " is a no-contest.
