Roulette: Main Quest Scenarios...

[Jojoya]

people PF expert roulette, I don't see it affecting much.

Expert roulette doesn't impact a new player's experience of the MSQ and its lore so it's not a relevant example.

If the cutscenes in the MSQ roulette are bugging you that much, why aren't you running dungeons appropriate to your job's level instead? If you chain run them with a competent group, you'll be getting roughly the same XP for the same time investment but you'll also be getting gear that you can use for glamour or turn in for GC seals. It's actually more rewarding for you but it does require more actual effort on your part.

Or is the real point you want massive rewards for minimal effort and time investment? Sorry, SE isn't going to give you that.

I dont think you're reading anything im saying and just projecting your animosity against my difference of opinion on the MSQ roulette. And I DO run the highest dungeon to level my alts, I avoid the MSQ roulette, as I said before.

But then why do you want to run MSQ roulette with skippable cutscenes?

If this is all purely academic, then you have to realise. Cutscenes used to be skippable.
People complained, all the time.
Newbies were harassed and forced to skip cutscenes. people didn't 'just go to PF if they wanted to skip', mob rule won out.
The current system is the best it's ever been, the roulette gets run more often, and people don't complain about having their first experiences of content ruined, and you don't have to run the roulette if you want want to.

So then continue to avoid it and stop advocating for changes to content you're not doing.

The MSQ roulette serves a specific purpose - to help new players fully experience the culmination of the ARR MSQ story with the help of veteran players. The cutscenes are an important part of that experience. If people don't want to be helping, then like you they should be doing other things with their time to earn the rewards they're after instead of queuing for the MSQ roulette then bothering everyone else with their complaints about having to watch the cutscenes in a roulette they didn't need to be doing in the first place.
