The 2nd tank and maybe half of the party were clearly veterans and would have skipped the scenes and left the rest of us in the dust - as it was, they kept running ahead of everyone starting boss fights and triggering cut-scenes long before many of us even reached the area because we were left picking up straggler trash that they ran right past. Thank goodness for the prompt to teleport to closed areas, otherwise I would have missed most of the fights. It was NOT fun ...not because of the difficulty, but because of these jack rabbits, I literally had no idea what was happening most of the time.

So, yeah, veterans (who want to skip MSQ cut-scenes) ...bite me. Like someone else said, you don't *have* to do that content, it's your *choice*. There are still new players in this game.
They could just allow people to skip by voting at the start.
New players are extremely rare. I don't mind sitting through it if there actually are new players in my group but if they aren't then it's just a complete and annoying waste of my time.

And if people are so worried about bullying new players then they can just make it anonymous. So you can't see who vote for what.
Yeah, I don't '' have '' to do the content. But the rewards are crazy and it's part of my daily duty roulette. I think that it's a dumb excuse for a poorly implemented solution to a problem.
Yeah, it's not fun if you're a new player in the old system.
But guess what, it's not fun either when you've played the game for years and have to sit through the same cutscenes on a daily basis either.
And that's what you'll be doing 99.9% of the times that you do the roulette.
