Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

[Typhoria]

An easy fix would be a vote system during the first cutscene.

Everyone gets to vote on watching them or skipping. If one person voted to watch, it remains how it is.

Voting would be anonymous.

Abandon option disabled since it's only those 2 dungeons.

Anyone that leaves is subject to the leaver queue penalty. The intent would be to discourage people harassing one person enough to leave to bypass the penalty.

At this point everyone going into those dungeons would expect the cutscenes, but would be plesently surprised if they get the skip.

Its only an easy fix if the system is able to handle voting and playing alternate versions of cutscenes - and I don't think it is.

Then they also need to be able to selectively disable the vote abandon and/or kick (another thing that may not be possible).

And the final result.... the people who don't want to be there just disconnect form the game, preventing reinforcements, and they can't even be kicked.

At this point everyone going into those dungeons would expect the cutscenes, but would be plesently surprised if they get the skip.

That's how it could have always worked - except people had to voluntarily wait, and didn't, which is what led to the enforced cutscenes in the first place.

And if you get the version without cutscenes you will of course get less than half of the standard rewards.

This is the thing I do not think most people complaining about the cutscenes get - the only reason why the MSQ roulette gives such good rewards is as compensation for the runs taking such a long time. Make the runs quicker, and the rewards will be lowered.
