This needs to be stopped, and immediately.

I see, so you would rather SE force players to play "your way or the highway", regardless of the party composition. Please, tell me more how this is a 'good idea".

PF has "no cutscene skipping" as an option. DF does not have any restrictions BY DESIGN. Which one caters more to your desires?

Because, when you go df you should expect to deal with that. That's why they give the rewards, so high lvl will help the low levels. If you wanna speed run it, build your own party. If your doing df, expect to be held back because that's what you are there for. To help the new players do story, that's why you get a reward for doing it. .
