Players really need a vote to skip cutscene option, instead of just choosing skip.

Better yet, the new player should simply tell the party it is his/her first time and wants to watch the cutscene.
I do, it works really well and requires no coding at all from the devs.
There is a bonus to it too, it improves a person's social skills.

If this worked it would be fine, but many times it doesn't, having seen first hand how people don't read party chat and just bumble straight in with 1 or 2 people stuck in a cutscene.
