It's somewhat unique here in that in no other MMO I've played is instance progress barred by stand in place cutscenes. Newbies in other MMOs might miss out on gawping at all the scenery in dungeons - and some of it is great - but it's nothing like missing main visual and audio elements that are part of the story they came to play out.

So as newbies we can either - as I do - refuse to be a burden or allow themselves to be carried and so we willingly escape out of every cutscene as fast as possible not to hold up the group, or we can stop for the cutscenes to actually get the flavor of the story and experience then come out of the cs having been completely left behind by the group. I miss not having seen those cutscenes in the context of the duty I'm running. There has to be a better solution, but I'll continue to skip cutscenes and continue to refuse to be carried by other players while I watch them.
