MSQ CS Torture, I have a Solution!

Majority or the new player don't care for cut scenes.

The majority we hear from since the cutscenes were forced are those who don't care about it, because the unhappy people are the ones that complain, but I doubt we've got the data to say "the majority of new players" don't care.

Anecdotally I think there have been far less "new player unhappy with watching cutscenes" posts than we used to get from frustrated players whose experience had been ruined by the rest of the party rushing through the dungeon and forcing them to either skip cutscenes or be left in the dust.

In any case, the creators of this story-heavy game (that, MMO or not, is part of a series of story-heavy games) have decided to cater towards those that do care about the story they're telling.

And no, a vote button wouldn't work - even if it was technically possible, which I don't think it is. The unskippableness seems to be hard-coded into the cutscenes and the version in the cutscene viewer is also locked down.
