Totally agree with you. All of their arguments have no merit whatsoever when you realise that by default cutscenes play automatically - it is intentional game design. They are arguing as if, cutscenes *don't* play automatically and this person has toggled them on. If that was the case, then they *might* have weight to their argument. As it stands, I feel that if you want to control or re-define how you interact and progress through a dungeon in any way that deviates from the default intended design, use Party Finder!

Ppl don't make Party Finder groups that say "Watching through all Cutscenes", because this is already the game default design.

I'm sorry this happened to you and I am sure it made you lose a little faith in humanity. I've had a similar thing happen in Aurum Vale, where I really wanted to finish the dungeon and have a chance at the various loot (including the final chest). My group vote-abandoned after the first room, and despite me clicking "No", it still went through and I was back outside feeling kind of "What just happened.." (and yes I know about first room clearing, but I had chosen to do a DF of just Aurum Vale)
