It's honestly just simple: If you can't handle watching the cut scenes... don't run it.

Period.

Do the speed runs elsewhere. As a sprout or leveling an alt, grit your teeth the ONE time and then never do it again. Or buy the jump and never look back if it's that much of a strain on you to wait and watch story, even if it's repeated.

Those are the options as they stand. They've upped the rewards for people who want to TAKE THE TIME... otherwise, you really really do not need to be in there making life otherwise vexing for those who ARE willing to do it.
