People are deliberately ruining the story for others

you will have 95% less players queueing for the dungeons. That's how much it annoys people.

For all of you posting "no one would run it" would you mind showing where you are getting this info from? Was there some secret poll held to ask who would still run the dungeons if the new players were able to watch the cutscenes?

Or are you simply making these "facts" up because of your own self-entitlement issues where you believe that new players should not be afforded the same expierence you were offered by watching the cutscenes when it was new content? Believe it or not it is new for them maybe the community should show its support for the game and the new players coming into it and let them expierence the story.

It's the logical conclusion if you try to force people who don't want to watch the cut scenes and tell them if they do the MSQ roulette that they are required to do so. I let people watch their CS's but even I am not dull enough to think everyone would take a change like that lying down.

Abondonment rates would skyrocket for CS heavy instances such as Castrum, people would rather AFK the penalty than sit around waiting on cut-scenes.

You are also under the assumption that the duty finder in itself has a "Community" It's backwards anything you punch into the duty finder is by default anti-community with it's near anonymous player base and no-fault system as you will never see anyone in that duty ever again unless you qued up with them.

Like all things if you want to experience the content the way you want to, you will need to play with like minded individuals. In the duty finder it's to be understood you are grouping up with 1-7 other players who goals and opinions may differ from yours and they are under 0 obligation to do ANYTHING that you request.

There is no rule telling them they must play the way a new player wants too, I can que up for a dungeon as a level 60 Marauder and people would need to deal with me because that is how the duty finder works.

Make a party finder, join a free company, if you want to set your own rules. This goes for story content as much as it does any other content in the game that requires multiple members.

lololol I first ran Praetorium in October of 2013 and guess what...
I had to skip cutscenes!

There was never a magical time when a group of strangers waited on a few people to watch an extra 30 minutes of cutscenes.

Now you're making assumptions about me and trying to put words in my mouth. If you read my post, you'd see I'm generally one to let people watch the cutscenes if there's a new player there. The rest of the group however does not. And the amount of times I've run that dungeon and had that happen, I think experience talks there. I want for a solution as well, but if you start forcing people to watch cutscenes, I'm sorry but what I said is NOT a million miles from the truth. Yes, I'd still run it, because helping new people, but most people wouldn't.

I got EXTREMELY lucky with my CM/Prae run for story, but if a friend wants it, I'd go with them and try and get a CS focused group for them. As for random strangers, not a lot I can do. As I said, even if you take both tanks out of the equation (or even both healers tbh), you can still beat that instance and speedrun it. Now if you can get the majority of the instance on your side, then you're fine, but otherwise it is just a suck it up buttercup situation. Say what henious abuse you will at me, it doesn't change the grim reality I'm afraid.
