People are deliberately ruining the story for others

[Niwashi]

I say this every time a topic like this pops up but I'll say it again. For Castrum and Praetorium, add an extra checkbox option that allows players to voluntarily accept a variant of the dungeons where party members are locked from progressing while cutscenes are in play.

It already exists. Its called Party finder- you can set rules such as "no cutscene skipping" You set the rules, with that comes expectations.

But that "no cutscene skipping" option doesn't do anything. Knahli's suggestion essentially comes down to an enforceable version of it, where if you go in saying there will be no cutscene skipping, then there will actually be no cutscene skipping. That's not the case now. Put up a "no cutscene skipping" PF and it will just be trolled by players doing their speedrun where they expect an extra tome bonus.

It's a good suggestion that would meet both groups' needs. You can go without that option set and get some slight tome reward for a speedrun. Or you can go on a more time-consuming run with all the cutscenes in it and get a larger bonus. There would be plenty of people choosing each and everyone could get the version of the dungeon they want.

In order to coerce high-level players into continuing to accept such lengthy runs, double if not triple the tome reward for players who accept such terms.

Uh, that will have the reverse effect. In fact, it already has been done, and DID have the reverse effect...

You seem to have missed the pivotal phrase of what you quoted, so I highlighted it. The extra bonus we have now is for everyone, regardless of how they complete the run. He's suggesting a bonus that would be specifically and exclusively for players willing to go for the slower version.
