I'm sure it has been said many time before.... but...

Yep, makes sense.

I'm going to take that bit as complete sarcasm and bite. It actually makes perfect sense. The game was, by freaking design, to be played through and to watch the cutscene (skipping optional). They did the roulette because a lot of the newer lower levels weren't getting anyone to run their story with them, which was costing them subs because people would get bored/frustrated. Thus they made a system that rewarded people helping others to get through dungeons. Tada! Not that hard to comprehend really.

Long story short if people can't handle helping the new guys out, there's a rather large, beautiful, and wondrous place called Mor Dhona (hell, ill be happy to draw you a map if you don't know it by now) where you can happily spam and get groups together of like minded individuals that cant stand to let someone watch a 30 second cutscene, isn't that lovely? Feel free! *thumbs up*

(Big Helpful Note) All in all you guys (note, all of you) making a big fuss over cutscenes aren't helping the game at all. Think on it for a moment, you really want to make first timers feel unwelcome and make them lose immersion just because you all want to skip 30 seconds of easy waiting? Thats pretty messed up and self defeating in the long run.
