For DPS in particular, there's also the queue to consider (I have regularly found the MSQ Roulette queue goes significantly faster for me on a DPS than queuing specifically for my highest-level dungeon), so in that sense the overall time spent might actually favor the MSQ Roulette.
Hence the "easy rewards for easy work" part.

Don't get me wrong, I'm an avid MSQ Roulette enthusiast. It's why I'm confused, there's no reason to queue for it unless you want to get Prae or are somehow desperate for Poetics. It's something I queue for on jobs I want to level but don't want to play or when I really want to watch a video in the background, or when it's Mog tome o'clock and I just want to AFK farm (though for those I'll end up queuing for Prae directly). So I don't get people who want to remove the cut-scenes, or add more stuff, or anything else. That is all this roulette exists for. The rewards are "just good enough", not something to obsess over daily clears.
