    I don't very much care what speed-running people want to do: they used the DF for a random person, and if they got me on my first time in the dungeon, I'm watching the cutscenes whether or not they can handle it. If they want a group to skip all the cutscenes, they can pre-form their own groups rather than force their attitude onto random people they end up being paired with in the finder tool.

    If they pull the boss, welp, I won't be healing them I suppose as I'd be locked out.

    EDIT:

    Although I wouldn't like "Forced to watch" cutscenes, they should retain a skip option, but I am in support of halting the dungeon's timer and progress until everyone's either done watching or skipped it. I'll likely end up being someone hoping for fast groups who've done the dungeon before if I end up grinding it, but I wouldn't force first timers to skip the story portions. Asking's cool, so long as it's not phrased as "Skip or I leave" and is closer to "Would everyone mind skipping the cutscenes?" and if someone doesn't wish to, to not blow up at them or something. (I imagine both examples exist in the DF world of AK/other level 50 dungeons people farm/grind). (After all it is a game, and the game does have a story, so it's not a crime if someone wants to experience the story as it unfolds in the game they purchased).
