Frankly I don't care if people leave cause if they do there's always someone else willing to pop in and take their place. It wont matter but it will make a huge difference in the game play if when groups full of seasoned players can skip the cut scenes and end the torture of these long MSQ runs.

And people do these runs for the daily bonuses for leveling and for tombstones so telling people not to run them if they don't like it is salty and uncalled for. everyone has the right to run the MSQ or any other content they want to get the tombstones and exp they need for their character. And we also have the right not to be tormented with cut scenes when the group isn't full of seasoned players.

This solution takes the pressure of new players and old. And as i said, if someone leaves, good, don't need jerks like that anyhow and it wont phase those who remain and there will be a replacement popping in right after. Only one who gets effected is the player who left cause now hes gotta wait another 30 minutes before he can que again which is almost as long as hey would have waited had he not left and just run the darn thing int he first place.
So... your response is "People already leave because they want the shorter version, so lets give them some reasons to leave even more often and for even greater gain"? Yeah, sorry, no.

And I never said you dont have the right to run this - you do. Within the rules of the game, which are: You get a huge daily reward for doing this but in turn you're agreeing to spend some time watching this cutscenes. Calling those cutscenes "torture" is way out of line and the actual thing here thats uncalled for. If it feels like torture to you, suggesting that you avoid it isnt "salty" its friendly advice - people usually avoid "torture".

And its not about "someone" leaving - its about 4-5 people leaving, maybe the whole group, leaving the newbie alone and confused. The player who left wont even be effected in a negative way: They can spend 30 minutes doing something else and then fish for a run that only takes 15 minutes - they spend the same amount of time (plus queue, I'll give you that) but instead of 30 minutes of cutscenes they can do 30 minutes of crafting, gathering, FATEs, some other progress...

The only way this would work and would be fair is that cutting the cutscenes also cuts the reward by a signifcant portion. If you only spend a third of what its actually asked of you, you're also only entitled ot a third fo the reward. Cant have it all.
