    but i appreciate the EXP i get out of it on lvl 60+ specially~ ive got the mood to actually start lvling other classes~ so i dont mind it,sometimes i get ppl who are chatty and i get to talk about different stuff.
    I dont even do it for the tomestones xD
    Yeah, I don't mind it sometimes. I'm usually chatting with someone or watching a show or taking a short Instagram break etc. How's the exp gain in comparison to levelling roulette? I always wondered but never wanted to run it for xp because of the reduced rewards, that and I figured the xp would be similar to 50/60/70 dungeons, which is okay but not great(especially with 50 mins of scenes).

    With 100% Armony Bonus for 60-69 its quite decent,for lvl 70-79[50% armory bonus] i adoooore it! seeing 10+ million exp in ShB lvls is good!
    If im burnt out from farming dungeons an MSQ Roulette will get me relaxed cause its a different pace/difficulty and i still get a big chunk of exp!
    Im staying away from Lvl 50-70 Roulette as its only value to me atleast is if missing tomestones,since thats its only purpose to run it imo[low exp,higher amount of tomestones as rewards]

    If you created a second MSQ roulette only accessible to people who have previously cleared it and with skippable cutscenes it would give no rewards.
    You have now created a thing nobody ever queues for.
    Because apparently we need more experiences like Ex Trial/BCoB DF queues.

    What they should do is make the cutscenes skippable if you queue for the dungeons directly in a full/undersized party.

    What would be funny though is if they removed the cutscenes again then reduced the xp from 16million => 5 million. People would be screaming just as much now that it is not worth it to do. Then less people will do it and ques will get stupid long and hurt newer people playing through the game.

    Pretorium is long as crap... but you are rewarded a metric ton of XP. More so then anything else in the whole game.

    Or the people who used to run it before and stopped running once cutscenes became unskippable would come back.

    Queues for the roulette were fine before the change. Don't know why people expect them to become "stupid long".

    Why would SE want players running the MSQ roulette without new players? It would just be a plain dungeon run with vets and as such there would be no need to turn that into a roulette.

    The amount of "new" players comes down to one per 4-5 days. The roulette is there to cover those ppl ... theres a massive overflow of ppl who cleared it already.

    The problem here is while you could say "if all have the clear we should be able to skip cs`s"

    Which is right at first sight ... however it would cause 2 things.

    1 ppl would be more likely to drop and craft for a bit then queue again.
    2 ppl would make premades.

    Neither benefits a new player. The massive exp is holding this together like ductape.

    It also makes no sense those 2 have different reward exp values.

    But SE mentioned a rework so theres hope.

    While I'm leveling everything I'm loving the inflated XP from Prae. I'm sure ince everything is leveled I'll just stay the hell out of it, unless I'm helping someone. But I'm not opposed to the idea of either making the MSQ solo or implementing skippable and non skippable instance. Honestly I would be perfectly fine with them at least allowing me to spam emotes during the cutscenes to liven them up some, or at least let us use the UI so we can make any changes to the HUD or system. Many a time I've gone to try and fix something with the dusted off job I'm now leveling to find that I don't like where something is placed. I can be super forgetful at times and more times than not it hits me while I'm stuck in a cutscene, sitting still.

    People run Main Scenario for the experience gained. It's the best roulette for that and if anyone thinks that if they somehow make this sola able or that you will be able to skip the cuts that the experience gains will be notable you're kidding yourself.

    I think there is a chance NPC's might be able to do part of it for new players wanting to clear main story although Trusts aren't until much later. I guess it remains to be seen if any further adjustments are made but for now me and my friends hope for Pratorium when we queue for Main.

    Anything making it easier will reduce the experience earned you can be sure of that.
