This is often how I see new players treated in FFXIV:

Being new doesn't make you special.

Yeah, yeah it does. SE could lose a potential subscribing customer every time a new player is rushed through content or otherwise mistreated in the DF. I've heard other vets say "Well, I was forced to skip cut scenes..." when they turn around and force others to do the same. This is the cycle of abuse. :/ Stop it.

It's a Final Fantasy game first and foremost; a game series known for it's cut scenes. Many fans want to see the story.

Anyone in too much of a hurry to sit and wait for a cut scene to play out should get a farm party and keep themselves out of the DF.
