And even when I'm doing that for EXP, I don't think I actually learn to play a job, because all the skills are locked up to Lv 50. I believe I'm not the only one feel this way.

    Sure enough, I do understand the need of keeping the first-time experience of these Lv 50 duties by making the cutscene unskippable. But now that the game has made its progress to Lv 100 cap, isn't it weird to refer a roulette locked at Lv 50 as the "Main Scenario"?

    I have two suggestions proposed:
    1. Add more (actual) Main Scenario duties to the roulette, e.g., the last Lv x0 duties of each Patch with MSQ content.
    2. Remove the limit of unskippable cutscenes, or make them as single-player duties
    The game is constantly having new players regardless of the level cap, it's not weird at all.

    You have issue with a roulette that is basically a quarantine for 3 unskippable cutscene duties? You know, if the rewards aren't great, don't queue for them.
    Want to learn your rotations? Expert Roul, A rank, S/SS rank hunts of current expansion(if they don't melt yet- it's how I got comfy with some openers), target dummy, extremes (if you want to test what you learned).

    50/60/70/etc have their own roulette, they don't fit the criteria of MSQ roulette which is unskippable cutscenes. If they mix dungeons with unskippable with skippable I think you'll likely see more people leave.

    Unskippable cutscenes in any kind of content that involves players is a horrible design and luckily a relic of the past. They don't NEED to add anything to it because if they do it'd have to fit the criteria of unskippable cutscenes and I think they learned their lesson.

    I think it's fine where it is, the MSQ roulette. If I really want the exp/tomes, I queue for it. If I don't want to suffer through it? I don't. There's simply waaaaaaay more things to do to level and gain tomes than thinking doing msq roul is mandatory.

    I think the only people who may get 'surprise MSQ roul' is probably mentors in mentor roulette, but they can also get off-expansion extremes iirc.
