is this really a big issue though? The question is whether removing the skip now results in needing to clear the entire group or whether its just a few. Either way, its never really been that much of a time save. It gives the illusion of it. But at most its 2-3 minutes.

IMHO this thread is brewing a storm in a tea cup. Especially when you consider that in exchange the dungeon has duty support now. Its an old dungeon afterall, most are not likely to run it at all.
