    MSQ roulette and AFK

    I don’t like MSQ roulette to but since it gives a fair amount of exp I do. With that I need to respect the others 7 players in the party. And stay AFK and trying to get the exp is unacceptably. And the number of ppl doing that is getting bigger, so I hope SE start to think in some punishment to prevent those players to do that.

    They could also fix the dungeons instead of encourage people to be there only for the overinflated rewards.

    Braindead content + massive reward = people afk. It's a simple equation, and putting in more and more stopgaps isn't going to fix the underlying problem of the content being garbage on repeat.

    Been noticing more AFKs too. Kicking them as well. if I see someone standing near ultima autoattacking they get a kick vote before lahabrea.

    I kick everyone I catch not participating these days and I think frustration is mounting with this kind of behavior as once you actually put the vote dismiss forward it /almost always/ goes through. If you sign up for MSQ roulette you know what you were signing up for. Don't make it more miserable for everyone else by being a leech.

    Kick them then. I've had a few recently when I've queued in as healer or tank, and yeah sure the content can be cleared with only one of these but if my co role (healer/tank) is afk or not participating I initiate vote kick (and it almost always goes through). Not participating in the content you've queued up for is gameplay disruption at the end of the day

    It would be an ideal candidate for becoming a trust dungeon. There are only the 2 dungeons and it would then allow for new players to take their time without worrying about other players at all. Tidying up the old content should be a priority in the down time when dev's aren't working on new content I would think, at least that's how most companies handle their backlog of work.

    The only time I afk is during cutscenes, but I make sure I'm back before they end. I guess I never really understood why people afk indefinitely. I mean, I get not wanting to put the effort in, but it's more beneficial to help the dungeon go faster by staying active.

    If people go AFK in the dungeon, then you have a perfectly good reason to votekick them.

    During the event for the moogle tomes I actually found myself falling asleep during the cut scenes and waking up halfway through a battle. It wasn't intentional and I never actually got kicked but it happened. Now the event is over I've stopped doing the daily MSQ roulette just to take a break from them as I spammed them so much during the event.

    Saying that, whilst I was spamming them, I did notice there were a few afkers during some of them. Mostly they'd come back during the dungeon at some point and it made me wonder if like me, they were falling asleep to the cut scenes! In future runs, I'll be making sure I have my switch readily by me so I can play on that during the cut scenes and stop myself from falling asleep!

    I think there's something weird with some of the cutscenes since ShB (or maybe earlier). I have an SSD and used to reliably load either first or tied for first, but since ShB, certain cutscenes seem to always result in the person who triggered them coming out of them 20 seconds or more before anyone else. The most obvious example of this is the cutscene immediately prior to fighting Gaius on the elevator. Additionally, the cutscene immediately prior to the fight for Lahabrea never finishes for me with everyone else (I usually come out of it about the time the arena goes white), even though on any other cutscenes other than the two I specified I am still the first or tied for first.
