    ITT: "I didn't read the OP but I want to let everyone know that skipping long cutscenes is terrible and you should feel bad for doing the MSQ roulette with motives other than helping newbies."

If you don't like the change then don't do it as previously someone else said. There is no reason to do this except for the first time unless you are there for the exp or poetics. I would watch a newbie almost every night get locked out in cutscenes. I would watch some newbies get caught in perma cutscenes. I actually agree with this change.
    This is about letting people who go into the instance unsynced (read: with a pre-made group, likely with some level 50+ help) skip the cutscenes if they want to. There are like a dozen other threads to complain in about the merits of the change itself. Though it's been so far derailed already that I guess it doesn't matter any more.

    SE needs to do some serious work on their back-end and the supporting infrastructure. They can probably make do for another few years with what they have but all these highly visible limitations will become bad press sooner or later. Forced CS played at a nonadjustable rate (even in inns!), regardless of party type or composition, is not good design. If people deliberately go in as undersized let them do what they want regarding the story scenes.
