Also I already do the daily leveling dungeon with my friends but doing MSQ together is kinda pointless since 90% ist just boring running around and talking anyway.
Also I only have a healer at 80 which makes fights and these solo instanced quests a real pain. Most of the time I let the NPCs kill me at the start so I can select the easier difficulty. That speeds it up a little but it's still super annoying and time consuming.

All of this wasn't an issue when I had time during Lockdown but now it feels like a chore that's keeping me from enjoying the parts of the game I like. And I have to endure it for no other reason than "it has always been like this".
If you're skipping all cutscenes, the actual running from point A to point B isn't very much. The dungeons/trials are another thing, but your friends can join you for those. EW is VERY cutscene-heavy.

Solo duties can sometimes be a pain, but there's thankfully not that many of them.

SE has never offered a content skip for current MSQ content, the chances of them doing so will be very very small.
