While it would be great to have these retooled into solo instances, with maybe keeping Ulitma Weapon as a trial, the current situation is fine.

You don't HAVE to run msq roulette. Ever. There are other ways to get poetics, other ways to get exp. The rewards are as high as they are BECAUSE of the time investment. If you're going to gripe about it, just don't run it. And allowing people to skip cutscenes again would mean having to nerf the rewards because the runs would be fast again. If they implement cutscenes only being unskippable if someone is new, that could lead to people being kicked so people can finish faster.

Running Prae is annoying. I get it. I hate having Gaius and Lahabrea monologuing for so long. But if I don't feel like dealing with it, I can just NOT RUN THAT ROULETTE. Just as i don't run frontline roulette or alliance roulette on days I don't feel like dealing with them.
