Sigh... This has been said many times on the forums. EVERY Cutscene is in the Inn, but there not all under the main story category. You have to change tabs to watch all of them. They are indeed all in the INN. Balme SE for a bad UI on the Journal...
Cutscenes are there to watch at that point in time. If SE intended otherwise, the cutscenes would ONLY be in the Inn. I have no issues waiting for other people to watch them. You shouldn't either.

No. Just no. Thats one good way of making new people leave the game. Solution is for speed runners just to deal with it. Most cs dont last more than 2 mins. Whoopp deee.. dooo..Solution:
Add a "Watch Cutscene" Check box to the duty finder next to "Join runs in progress" check box. If you uncheck that you only get paired with people who also unchecked it. Also for runs with it unchecked, cutscenes would not even show up, no option to skip them, they just don't exist with this run type.
"One or more members are new to the duty" or whatever the message is pops up @ the start of the instance - I don't care if you watch the cutscenes.
If you're in full Darklight doing a Castrum run and you want to watch all the cutscenes again - I am going to be a bit incredulous when you decide not to skip.
If you don't want to run into people watching cutscenes, stop using Duty Finder for a storyline dungeon. It's not difficult to comprehend.
I don't watch cutscenes in my inn for the same reason I don't watch them on youtube.
Well I'll say deal with it only because I don't DF CM. I run with fixed groups from my FC or 1 of multiple linkshells. I also use voice chat (mumble/ventrilo etc) and we have a system down to haul tail through CM. So if I were to DF it, I would indeed expect to see a few people watching cut scenes and not make a big deal out of it.
But if your on my server and I shout for a CM Speed run and you join and then watch cutscnes and say "Sry first time" yeah your going to get flamed.
This makes me wanna start Queueing CM on my whm just so I can watch every CS and troll all the raging players.
Me full DL and relic +1 YEAH I never finished story hold on guise!!!!
As a side note, I still haven't seen them due to bullying. maybe now i should.
Oh right for the immersion.
Hey look, I'm so close to this guard he can feel my breath, but don't worry, since I'm behind him he won't notice a thing!
Oh noes, they got an assault craft! What'll we do.. oh nvm, here's a conveniently placed anti-air cannon. Yes, the story is so good and the game is so immersive, holy crap!
If I notice I'm the only new player in that run, then yes I consider it the polite thing to do to skip the cutscenes and watch them later. I don't know if they would've cared or not, since nobody really cared for me being a firsttimer, but I would consider it rude to waste the time of 7 other people. In return for the "awesome" story not being fluid and my "immersion" being broken or something, I got a fluid run with barely any mistakes. I'd say I struck a bargain there.
You know it's comments like this that really makes me question the intelligence of the people saying them.
It's not so much the Immersion, it's the fact people want to just know the freakin story. Not everyone is a WoW baby like you and doesn't give a rats behind about the lore. They paid for the right to play, you didn't pay for them. Now that you understand that, you can either sit down, be quiet and accept it, or just leave the party. Nobody will miss you.

The game system itself was made so you get those cut scenes, it's up to the player to choose if they want to watch or not. If you go a group through DF and find someone trying to enjoy the story like it should be, you got no choice. Now you want to go ahead and start throwing words at the person go ahead, but be warned, you could be reported for harassment as the other person did NOTHING wrong. He's playing the game the way it should be played because of the way it's setup up right now. Don't blame the player.
