My first bad experience with another player. :o

If it were up to me the cutscenes in these two dungeons would play out for everyone attending in their entirety, with no option to skip them. That would correct this problem on all fronts real quickly.

And queue times would be increased a million fold... You'd be lucky to get a pop... Because most players wouldn't do those dungeons if they were forced to watch cutscenes even if you offered them 10 billion gil and 450 of the weekly capped tomestone for doing it, as well as all the gear in the game and all the mounts and minions in the game.

Don't get me wrong, I agree the situation sucks, but the only reason those dungeons pop in the first place is because of veterans who speedrun them for the rewards.

What I think actually needs to happen is they be reworked to solo instances, but to keep the work lower, you have NPCs instead of players, to form the rest of the party. No queue needed, no speedruns to worry about, nothing.
