In the grand scheme of this game, I spend a LOT of time waiting for people to watch cutscenes. I also spend a lot of time watching cutscenes when playing duties for the first time. I feel bad making people wait for me.

I would also like an easy way to watch cutscenes if someone else is watching them, because right now I have to choose between (1) using a setting that automatically skips cutscenes I've already seen, so I have nothing to look at while other people watch those scenes, or (2) not using that setting and having people get angry at me when I literally cannot skip the cutscene quickly enough. Additionally, with that second option, I will not know if someone else is watching the cutscene until after I skip, at which point it is too late to watch.

It is unfortunate that some people pressure new players to skip cutscenes. That said, to my knowledge, this game has never had a vote-to-skip system. The system you describe is the system we currently have.

In my very first dungeon playing this game, the boss was half-dead when I finished the cutscene. It happened to me many times after that. I have also waited for the sprouts and watched fellow players not wait. Heck, some people have told me they have rushed in before realizing people were watching cutscenes, which is currently an easy mistake to make. This is a problem. I think it is worth addressing.
