Constantly kicked for watching cutscenes

Being denied cutscenes is no worse than holding someone up from proceeding through the dungeon, both parties are disrupting the other's experience.

There's only one first time though. Once you hit the grind a slower dungeon is only a minor inconvenience, a slightly slower path towards the next whatever piece of armor you have. I find that vastly different in comparison to potential ruination of one's immersion and experience with the story.

So it would be entirely worthwhile for said individuals to use the PF to gather players who have similar interests, or simply don't mind coming in for an extended run to help. Both exist.

The problem lies in solo-queuing DF and expecting others to wait.

The discussion entirely is moot. Just due to the sheer difference in numbers, because as you said this is a one-time thing, you're going to see a vast majority of players who just want to get through the run as fast as possible for their grind and therefore you will be left behind for watching cutscenes. This will have you locked out of fights. That's the trade-off.

The only issue here is being kicked. That's wholly unnecessary and shouldn't be done. I doubt it's common though, because like I said most parties will just proceed.
