    AGAIN, it doesn't change my stance. After all the complaints about skipping cutscenes or not getting to experience the changes my empathy is extinct. How many times was it told to new players "watch them in the inn" so I am now stating "suck it up."
    Not everyone was like that (I always let people watch the cutscenes and waited with them..) and not every single new player want to watch the cutscenes either...the OP want premade groups that do it usynch - thus getting no reward out of this- be able to skip the cutscenes (which you know would still make it possible to watch them even there but gives the choice to not watch them too). This would not in any means make it worse for newer players...so I do get the feeling you are just against it because you like it that people are "punished" by having to watch them anyway. Even though this change will hurt newer players too.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    SE gave the masses what was asked for. If you actually followed those threads, you would see that this was one of those suggestions.

    One of the suggestions. Another was to turn those duties into a solo instance. They decided to go with one suggestion instead of the other, and this decision hurts a lot of people, including many first timers. This debate, for me at least, has long shifted away from the roulette because I don't touch it even when I'm poetics-starved. But this change affects not only the roulette and people need to get over themselves and stop ignoring that.

    All I see are idiots who complain about the non-skippable cut-scenes when they knowingly go into the roulette in the first place.

    I've run through a couple rounds with our new members (un-synched) - not because of cut-scenes..but because of idiots who join..then ditch in their stupidity. If anyone is to blame for the hurt..its not SE.
    Its the foolish of people who don't bloody read before they take action.
