I'm not sure what to tell you to actually make you understand why experiencing the storyline in the dungeon, as was intended, is important to some people.
Their time and reason for playing is no less valid than the seven other people in that dungeon. I'm also not sure what to tell you to make you understand that other people don't appreciate being treated like crap for wanting to experience content in a way that doesn't agree with somebody else.

As the more experienced players here, we should be the ones with more patience and tolerance. It's not every day that you will run into a newbie who wants to watch the cs and experience the fights. (Some newbies don't care for them and that's their choice)
However, even if it is every day that this occurs, as experienced players *we* know what we are getting into when we queue up for Story Mode Roulette. We know how long those cs are and we know if we want to or not deal with them.
The answer is not, 'oi! noob go watch the cs at the inn because I want this sh*t over with asap!', the answer is "Don't queue for MSQ Roulette if you aren't prepared to let people experience the story." Whatever the vets are after from CM and Prae is something that they *WILL* have an easier time obtaining through other means.
Otherwise, the vets are being far more selfish than the newbies.
See, what you are doing here though by having the 7 other people wait is basically saying their time is less valuable than the 1 person who wants to experience the storyline. They queued up so they could finish it and get the tomes quickly. Noone wants to sit around getting nothing done for 40 minutes. If I was that 1 person I would NEVER ask 7 other people to wait around for me, I'd feel bad and I'd feel like a jerk if I did that. Hell, just an hour ago I did a CM run with 7 noobs, and I was completely patient and didn't complain at all as they ran it normally. I gave them instructions without insulting, said it was ok when they screwed things up, etc. I did this because I was the only vet in there, the majority were new players, and as such the majority rules.

Likewise, a new player who is outnumbered by 7 vets should not expect the entire run to be catered to him when EVERYONE ELSE wants to speedrun it.
