As a new player, running through the Praetorium dungeon was the worst

[Fynlar]

There's a lot of overexaggeration on the cutscene length in this thread. CM has maybe around 10 minutes of cutscene length, Prae maybe around 15. (This is assuming you read/scroll the text around as fast as the VAs speak it.)

I can safely say through multiple personal experiences, having someone go through the cutscenes (and actually waiting on them) isn't suddenly going to make either of these dungeons take around "an hour", especially if the other 7 people in the party massively overgear the dungeon, which they usually do.
