I am personally fine with people watching cut scenes if they want to. However, if only one or two are watching cut scenes then don't expect the rest of the group to stand around waiting for you.
To those saying watching the cut scenes is doing the dungeons as intended I say then why is their an option to skip the cut scenes? SE intended for people to be able to skip the cut scenes even their first time.

Of course it does. All groups, even pre-formed ones, must enter CM through the Duty Finder. Just like every dungeon must be entered using the dungeon finder.

As for those who say SE is not to blame. They are. There was no reason to make a story dungeon one of the best end game grinding dungeons. If they had separated these two things we would not be having this discussion.
