Please remove main scenario dungeon restriction when doing it undersized

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.

It's funny..I keep seeing people claiming that it hurts many first timers. When in fact i have yet to see this evidence.
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.

Just because you dont see evidence does not mean that it does not hurt at least some of them. I mean I could say that I never saw a newbie being kicked if they wanted to watch them thus this problem does not exist but that would be false since its only my subjective view of the things without knowing the whole deal.

What we do know as facts is: The MSQ roulette was created so that veterans will run these two dungeons for a bit of a reward so that newer people have the chance to finish this. The roulette would not have been necessary if the numbers would have been fine. Now we also know that after only two weeks after the change SE is not really happy with the rewards for this roulette (which again is there to have veterans run this) and plan to increase this. Why would they do that? Well the only good reason is because people do not run this enough for the current reward so they want to increase it to have more people running this. If less people are doing that this kinda implies that there will be some people that now have to wait longer than they did before the change thus its hurting them.

Next to these facts we also know from experience of other players and from countless of threads where newer people complained about the story (especially the one between ARR and HW) that not everyone is playing this for the story but those will now be forced to watch it..these players (who do exist) will be hurt. So the change hurts them too.

So in the end we might not now the true numbers but we know that certain people exit thus they will be hurt by this change and we also know that SE will increase the rewards which they only did before when there were not enough people running certain things. For me its quite logical that players are hurt by this and no personal experience in any way will change these facts. (And yes I dare to say that these are facts and not personal opinions)

Ran it today and only got 2,203,000 exp. from it. They need to change it back where can skip those cutscene's because that's not much of a exp. boost for having to now watch 30 to 45 minutes of cutscene's. You should get over 4 million exp. from it. If there going to make you watch them. Can get that much exp. from lvl 61 dungeon that takes way less time. When I ran it for very first time I skipped every cutscene because I don't like being in a dungeon longer than need to be. Why be in it for 45 minutes to hour. When can skip them and finish it a lot faster and then move on to next part of main story.
