    Hmm taking in this information it does become understandable... could have been more so one person had said the non exit cut scenes took as long as they did. My perspective before the dungeon was that the cut scenes only took a minute or so, not what feel like 5 for the skippers. But it's good to know that story dungeons later on aren't such a problem with the story vs performing things.

    If I'm not totally mistaken: a lot of those Cutscenes arent "automated", meaning: you can take your time to read the text and continue with the dialouge as soon as you're done reading - maybe you're a fast reader.
    And ofc it didnt felt like eternity for you when watching those cutscenes: You were actually doing something, while everyone who had done the dungeons before was just standing around (or rather rushing to the next boss).

    I began playing this game with the ARR-beta and my memories of the first time running those dungeons are bad and stressful ones - and that while we went in with 4 people, covering the tank and healer spots and letting the dps know that we're gonna watch the cutscenes. I've done those dungeons since for every friend who reached that point to make sure they gonna get a decent experience - whenever I did them in DF I have to admit that I dont care that much anymore about a newbie. I'm also here to play this game, not to stand around for half an hour, waiting for someone (and yes, the cutscenes DO take that long - a newbie can spend a whole "run" only watching cutscenes, while the rest of the party is killing all the stuff)
