Disconnecting during the cutscene (whether deliberately or from a genuine network issue) is one thing; running ahead of other people because you ‘escaped’ the intended lockdown on everyone’s movement is something else entirely.

If you use that time to organise your inventory or just not have to watch the same video over and over, that’s not an issue.

A coordinated group of people disconnecting and carrying on through the dungeon? Fine, if everyone is in on it. Organise it through PF so you don’t get other people caught up in it. From the sound of this discussion, there should be no shortage of volunteers.

Leaving people behind because you skipped the cutscene and they didn’t? It’s not okay. You go into the roulette accepting that you will have to wait for people - and if more people had been patient with newcomers before this point, Square might not have felt obligated to force it upon everyone.
