As others have said, cutscenes are unskippable for a reason. People should learn to just relax. When I get Prae, I just pop something on my other monitor to read or watch or find another side activity (even worked on my taxes in the previous version of Prae).
You don't seem to understand the main objective of mentor roulette which is about filling any DF that needs filling.
When we queue for mentor roulette, we accept to be dispatched whereever a body is needed irrespective of the experience of the person who queued. Sometimes even more than one mentor is sent to the same duty. It’s there so players who queue for a duty don’t end up waiting forever. If people have time to do things such as an ex with new players, or something like Copied Factory or Thaleia MSQ, there is time for MSQ too. Is it exiting? No but many other things aren’t. I got 10 Guildhests in a row the other day (there was another mentor too) as 2 people were doing their weekly challenge log and we just happened to be the next two warm bodies. It felt like being trapped in the Groundhog Day movie. Normally, Mentor roulette gives me a wide array of duties and that’s why I like it. It’s be nice if it could reward the daily tomes for the normal roulettes if you do a corresponding duty (like if you get an AR, you get AR roulette tomes if you haven’t done it already but it’s not such a big deal). I get Prae not even 2% of the time with mentor roulette
The teaching part in mentor roulette is pretty much limited to extremes if they pop. Other than that it’s occasionally mentioning to do jobs quests when there is no job crystal at a certain level or explaining that the big orange marker is a stack marker and pretty much any other player can explain that too just as well. It’s not the place nor the time to talk about rotations. Guidance is mostly outside roulettes and it is mostly basic questions like where can I find or get something.
As for new players queuing for ARR extremes, the way the quests are introduced makes them feel seamless and natural progression. Once Titan hard which is part of MSQ has been completed, there is yet another duty with a blue marker to pick up at the Waking Sands and it happens to be Garuda ex. The same goes for other ARR extremes. It just feels normal to pick them up (I run alts and that’s the perception I get every time) and nothing warns of the major step up in difficulty.
