Hot Take: We need more Main Scenario duties

Famously one of the more dreadful roulettes to go through, one of the few duties is hailed as "the good one" on the merit that it is the least time consuming with unskippable cutscenes.

I understand that the Main Scenario roulette is necessary on account of the ARR finale ending the way it did. If I had it my way, we'd either be able to unanimously group vote to skip cutscene given the opportunity (not like the cutscenes hide a massive load screen or anything) or remove the need for the unique queue altogether.

However, since we have it and are stuck with it, I think we need more MSQ roulettes. The majority of people passing through it are past level 50, wearing end game glamours, just here to check a box on their roulette grind anyway. It'd do well for the main demographic utilizing this roulette to have more, and higher level, content to chance upon while doing this roulette. The function behind this roulette from a utilitarian perspective wouldn't change, and new players will still get funneled end game players to usher them into their post-msq, but adding more variation in the queue from time to time would go miles to alleviate some of the dread entering this queue. The relief of using a more full hotbar at the endgame, too, will be nice for endgame players.

Additionally, the devs have gone on to say in the past that dungeon design had become somewhat formulaic so as to not upset players when a gimmick or unusual pull pattern isn't received well. This is why dungeon changes had begun to phase out some boss gimmicks (feel free to remove the cannon dragon turtle fight at any time devs love u ♥). Therefore the MSQ roulette could be a more understandable place to play with unique ideas and unusual pull patterns.

What are your thoughts on this? Would this only compound the MSQ roulette issue in unexpected ways perhaps?
