Dungeon progress shouldn't be allowed while party members are watching cutscenes

That's fine... If they want to lock their healer out then they will learn

We learned you don't need that 2nd healer. Like I told the last person - enjoy your cutscenes, you are dead weight.

the people sticking up for watching CS are plain and simple people not at end game.

After your 30th run you will be QQ on this board as well.

I skipped on my first run on everything. Yes everything. There is literally zero difference from watching in the dungeon to watching in your inn. Except you are trying to prove a point that your time is better than mine.

Lets stay in a dungeon for over an hour?! Yay me...

There is a difference between watching the cutscenes as they are presented, as the events are happening, and watching them later in your inn. A toddler could understand that.

If you haven't the empathy to understand why people would want to watch cutscenes that are the culmination of countless hours of story quests, in a story dungeon, then you're just hopeless and probably have other problems related to a lack of empathy, like stealing.

I think players should be able to skip cutscenes, but rather than being let loose, they can't move until everyone is done with the cutscene, and it should show the cutscene symbol above everyone's head until the last person is finished so there's no discrimination. Problem solved.

Problem not solved. Now you've effectively given a player the opportunity to hold up 7 others on a text window..infinitely.

I think just make it such that every member must skip for the cutscence to skip.

And almost certain this terrible idea will never see the light of day. Thank the twelve.

I was locked out of 2nd boss because someone didn't want to watch cutscene. And they wiped because not enough DPS.

Our archer left. Apparently they didn't learn, as everyone went in without waiting for a replacement.

Wiped again.

Apparently people really enjoy watching their alter egos get electrocuted over and over.

We had ~ 4 mins to kill final boss (which we did). I just can't get this image out of my head that the person initiating the random charges was thinking...

"MAN I'M SURE GLAD WE RUSH THROUGH THIS - ALLMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT LOLOLOL"

You say that as if running the dungeon dozens of times is a foregone conclusion. I have zero intention of getting on the equipment treadmill. I see no reward in running a dungeon to the point that I'm sick of it, in order to get gear that lets me... run more dungeons until I'm sick of them in order to get more equipment. When I finish up that last quest, I'm either leveling a different job, or playing another game.

Honestly, I am on the side of those who believe people should skip cut scenes. The fact is, people just want to run the instance. Castrum isn't as bad as Praetorium in terms of cut scene longevity, but I just find it rude. When I did these dungeons for the first times, I felt it was proper and polite to skip them and watch them later in the inn at my own discretion. I could probably relate if there was no other way to watch them, but you do have a way and not everyone wants to sit and do a 1 hour run. The fault lies with SE in this design, so if you got an issue with it, ask for a solution from them - don't blame the people who just want to do the 99th run because its a way to get 100 tombstones.
