Not being able to skip cutscenes...

What's in it for players capped on Poetics and all combat classes at 70?

What was in it for them before the patch? Even before it was being run either for people leveling or people who wanted poetics so the patch hardly changes them.

I dislike this change, but let's not bring irrelevant scenarios into it.

I ran it because it was fairly quick and got me a handful of gil. Hardly irrelevant.

You are the first person I've seen in the forums or game to ever bring up gil as a reason to do that roulette. Whatever floats your boat but that's a very limited case.

Also why are you capped on poetics? Buy stuff with it-> sell it , Buy gear with it->GC seals-> buy stuff with it-> sell it

And if the gil is what you care about, then by getting more poetics, you can convert that into more gil using the above.

Just out of curiosity, what do you suggest buying with poetics to sell? I've been sitting at capped poetics almost since the end of ARR unless I needed to gear up a class I hadn't leveled yet The only times I really use poetics now is when buying a book for the ARR relics(still have quite a few to work through since I'm really only doing them when not wanting to deal with people in instances).

Buy unidentified ores and trade for grade 3 soils.

Profit?

That'll vary on your MB prices.
On my server right now it would be:
Gobcraft Resin
Eikon Mythrite/Metal/Hide/Fiber
Demicrystal (small quantities)

Or buying gear to convert to GC to then sell:
Borax
Raziqsap
Animal Fat
Hardened Sap
RaziqSand
Coke
Potash

Rotating is a good way to account for market fluctuation

And this one too:

Thank you both for the ideas, will definitely be doing that hopefully tonight if I get the chance to log in.

1. If you're doing this roulette for gil, there are much more lucrative ways to make gil in the same amount of time, but thats another topic. Anyways, running this for gil was a waste of time before the change, so your argument is moot. Yes its a nice bonus, but not a sole reason to run it.

2. Capped on poetics? So spend them.....and earn some more. They are hardly useless, we keep 7 gardens going at all times, 50% of that is dungeon poetic farming.

3. It's only twice as long the few times I have done it with the cutscenes. While the xp, and gil may not hav ebeen upped accordingly, the poetics sure did. You now get 300 a run, 400 with new member. That's a pretty efficient poetic farm, especially with Netflix on as well.

Not much point on Zalera the gil you'd get for selling poetics items is hardly worth it. Everyone keeps undercutting each other to stupid low prices.

EDIT: Besides, my reasons for running it hardly matter anyway, fact is I'm not running it anymore and that's that.
