The devs can keep the restriction if the content is being done synced, but I personally see no need for it in unsynced.

I'm all for this. I also think if there's no new player in a group, the cutscenes should be skippable.
Its not an arbitrary restriction when a new player gets left behind and can't experience the content as the devs intended it. This content is for new players not for players that already completed it. This style of MSQ content is only in ARR so have some patience and empathy for new players.

It wouldn't be difficult to create a script that will check to see if there is no new players in the group, but it would be difficult to change the application to allow us to skip the cut scenes based on the rules. They would have to change how the application works, which would require more time and resources than what its worth.
