    It would really have been nice if you actually read some of the threads so far, all threads end more or less like this:

    - Yes, it would be nice if all first-timers would be able to experience the two Castrums the way they were designed.
    - But since SE decided to scatter the cutscenes throughout the dungeon (sometimes they even pop up during fights!) and because Castrum is an important part of DR if you want Animus, I can understand players who do NOT want to view them the 200th/300th/400th time very well.
    - If viewing cutscenes and/or waiting for players to view them would be ENFORCED technically or by the GMs, Castrum would turn into ghost towns almost instantly. Players would do them once, and never again since there would be far more efficient ways of farming myths. This is NOT what you want. You would get a situation where waiting for Castrum for 4-6 hours as a DPS will feel like a GOOD day.
    - The only way this mess could be sorted out is to change the cutscenes so there is only one large, continuous cutscene after defeating the final boss. Myth farmers could simply walk out of the dungeon, and first-timers could enjoy without pressure. This solution can only be implemented by SE, obviously.
    - The best (but far from optimal) compromise that is available now is to let first-timers view the CS immediately if they want to and do not kick them, whilst the other players go ahead and trash the bosses. Since 99,9% of parties in Castrum are ridiculously overgeared, getting it done with 2, 1, or maybe no DPS at all is a viable option.
