I think Castrum and Praetorium have wayyy too many cutscenes. I think pretty much everyone's first time was bum rushed. Am I correct in that assumption? What was SE honestly thinking would happen though, when you put upwards 10+ cutscenes in one dungeon with every scene lasting 3-5 minutes.

How can a new player NOT feel like they are slowing down the party
How can a veteran player be expected to wait an extra 20+ minutes so maybe two or three people can watch scenes that you most likely didn't get to watch either.

I feel like if SE was going to make a cutscene intensive instance, then it should have been a single-player experience only. That way you can enjoy the story at your own leisure, without anyone threatening to kick you for trying to enjoy yourself.
