    What about a ready check function that says "Skip Cutscene" and if 100% say yes, it allows skipping? This would allow a new player the option to choose. We may have people in chat saying "Skip", "Just skip" or "Skip or I wont heal you", etc. So I feel that harassing others to skip against their will should be a bannable offense.

My suggestion at least makes it so that people who want to see them can be paired with others who want to, and those who don't want to see them get paired with others who don't.
    I only work 45 hours a week. Am i qualified to talk about time management? I mean im going to regardless, DONT RUN MSQ IF YOU DONT HAVE TIME FOR IT. Run leveling and alliance for exp, run expert alliance 50/etc pvp trials and raids for tomes. Or run fates for exp and run a hunt train for tomes. Or do another combination of the dozens of ways these things can be earned that dont require 45 minutes of cutscenes. Your suggestion to make it a trust dungeon is solid(and has been a suggestion for 6 years now), you know the day that happens this roulette and its spicy bonus will be deleted right? I look forward to that day personally, though i know i dont speak for everyone.

    This has been explain before, but ill try one more time. The way these cutscenes are coded there can only be one version that exists in the game. They picked the unskippable version because of mountains of complaints over a couple years(easily 10-100 times the level of complaining the "i want to skip" crowd is currently running). The cutscenes have the same auto-text scroll if you watch them in the inn room. And even if they went in and recoded these to make it an option, what makes you think the rewards would be any good if you could skip the cutscenes? The rewards are only the way they are because of the cutscenes.
