Same as you would watch the movie with your friend just to be polite towards him/her (your incentive in this case is something called friendship, but maybe that's not enough for some).

2) As I said, you were granted a limited edition gift for attending (one that you really want). It's done sometimes, at least where I live, as a special promotion. And if you want to fast forward the film and just collect the prize as you say, you are screwing everyone else in the room. Just like in CM. If you don't see what's wrong there, I don't know what else I can tell you.

You can always farm WP and AK (none of them core story duties) like some of us do, or make a full premade to speedrun CM and Prae if you just want to do that for those easy 100 tomes (nothing against that, to each his own). But using the DF and then getting angry at people running it for the first time, or expecting them to skip everything, is just socially wrong.
People don't want to help others. They're only in it for their personal gain, and if you hinder them while you're there, you'll be sure to get berated and belittled to the point where you don't want to play anymore.

I think there's a simple solution for people ruining story dungeons by rushing. Unskippable, auto-advancing cutscenes, forcing everyone to watch them and enabling no one to troll people by staying in cutscenes and hindering the party.
Don't want cutscenes? Go do a different dungeon. Problem solved, thank you very much.
