    Proof ? I got report of Queue getting longer and queue remaining the same at the same rate in this forum. We don't have stats so I don't think we can use this as argument. Maybe the change was easy to do so they did it to please this ''minority'' ( again, stats ?) to keep the game somewhat full and relevant ? In my eyes, it is one of the most important thing to do for an FF game.

    By your meaning, MSQ roulette or other roulette should have never existed in the first place. I would say then: if you want whatever you want, go get a PF like in old MMO where finding a group in front of dungeons was actually a real thing. I wouldn't mind personally as I miss the old time. But we all know were most of the MMO industry headed. It is statically good enough proof to understand SE decision to baby sit their players to follow the trend. SE did a compromise then by doing this change for newer player which is still in the right direction.

    if really the queue is longer (again stats ?) because the majority does not queue anymore, the majority cannot consist of alts and noobs who wants to skip because they are part of the queue actually .... The majority would be the vets who think the time/reward ratio is not good enough for this roulette.

    The problem lies in the reward as it was designed for vets to make them do old contents to help sprouts. Cutscenes were designed for sprouts to enjoy, not vets so it should not be taken away from them to please duty roulette vets. If they really need to change something, change it on the reward for vets, not on the content for sprouts. If you start complaining on the CSs being too long, how about also complaining about roulette leveling lvl 16 being too long too. Let skip it directly to the boss so we can get instant experience .... I mean I already did Sastacha more than 10 times, me mashing 2 buttons to clear the dungeon is not better than watching 20 min CSs.

    TL;DR : Please change the rewards for Vets, don't touch the contents for sprout.

    You are the one that wants to argue people having alts is the minority so I can ask you the same thing, where are you stats? I talk to lots of people, ran MSQ tons of times, the amount of people that really care about those CS, even new are tiny. Those that do care about the CS, more often then not, do not mouth off to the group about speed running and both view points accept each other, group A speed runs while the 8th watch the CS.

    I do not know where this is coming from but ill say this, MSQ should not be road blocking every thing in the game, though this is off topic.

    It isn't hence all the threads and posts here

    I like you see propose a high enough reward to be forced to see something you know what happens and seen a 100 times or more. A lot of people just want to play the game. What should be done is change it back to pre 4.2 and simply have a pop up for those that never cleared it before, explaining how to use PF and it may be a good idea to run it a few friends if you want to take your time with the story.

    To me you STILL are not understanding new people had ways of completing this while taking their time on it. I know one person on an alt who got 60 though PotD before clearing the level 50 quests because how long it takes to get though the 50 quests. So this person as a level 60 in ironworks gear ran the MSQ story things with a level 60 in current gear.. i 260.. i think.. and they duo it on their own watching the CS. you do not need to pug to clear the MSQ DFs, forcing 7 others to go at a set pace. This change is bad, setting a set speed for the CS is bad, half bake changes are bad.. for everyone, but a select minority that seem to think this is a good change when it is overall worse then pre 4.2 because they are unable to see the bigger picture.

    Rewards has nothing to do with this, I am very frustrated at pleasing a select minority when there are more heavy impactful changes that people with disabilities need. This is my main point, I shown you the thread on it, and you ignored it completely. 4.2 MSQ changes is personally insulting to me. SE is basically saying players are unable to find their own groups so we need force a change on everyone, that is insulting to human intelligence.

    You are ignoring the biggest point here, before 4.2 people could make their own groups and go at the speed they saw fit, now you can't. Change the game back to pre 4.2!

    The duty finder's purpose is to let people find groups quickly that can't do so on their own, this force CS change defeats that spirit. If you care about cs so much, you make your own group, you only need ONE person level 60 + to do SO!!!!

    it is not, it was considered outdated and old before AAR(2.x) ended, prob when they released ironwroks, i120 gear.

    I personally hate the change because I am against being forced to do something and against a blanket change (impacting inn/ premade/ undersize/min level challenge. I am also against the change because before people had options, it isn't hard to find one friend 60+ too duo with, now you have no other options. You give people a choice how do things, this change stripped that choice and will argue how much a bad idea till it is changed.)
