None of the posts you linked matter because two wrongs don't make a right. This isn't how they should've fixed it.
    Do them once and be done with it.

    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."

    Are people not reading the OP that wants the restriction removed for going in undersized or are some really just defending everything? I mean why would you be against a change for undersized partys? People can still watch the cutscenes in them but at least they could also skip them...this would have no single negative consequence for new players..none, nada. Those newer players that do not want to watch all the stuff could at least go through this undersized, those that want to watch cutscenes and are new can just simply queue for it normally and since you cant get any reward from undersized unsynch parties, people would still need to run the normal version if they want that..win win for everyone...

    Like seriously..if you are against something read at least the topic and discuss it. :/ This thread has barely anything to do with the rewards and problems off the roulette but simply wants a change for undersized unsynch parties..

    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.

    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.
