Please Reconsider MSQ Changes

An easy fix for the cutscene exploit would be to make it so whenever you start a cutscene in those dungeons, you get a debuff that immobilizes you, locks down all your attacks and abilities, and makes you invincible and invisible. This debuff would last for the full duration of the cutscene, so if watch the full cutscene, the debuff will expire at about the same time the cutscene ends. If you exploit to skip it, congratulations, you get to stare at a debuff for 5 minutes or however long the cutscene is.

Effectively - when people don't break things in ways beyond the programmers' control - the "viewing cutscene" state is that debuff. I assume they can't actually lock characters in place like that, which is why the unskippable cutscenes (code already in the game for some other instances like the treasure map dungeons) were implemented instead.

However, they've added that cutscene debuff in solo duties already. Perhaps it could be easily expanded to all party members, until ALL members have finished the cutscene (so it lasts the longest of all languages per cutscene, maybe with an extra 30 seconds to account for loading times?)
