"In from the Cold" Scenario, any way to skip it?

[RyuDragnier]

I spend 1 hour on that crap, and hope that nothing like this ever has to appear and for what ?

All it was meant to do is give the player the feeling of : OH NONONONO
Without anything actually happening, literally from the start to the end, this quest could been removed and it would have changed nothing in the story or development. I am already pissed on the "Escort" quests and the need to run on the map forth and back like a retard just to to increase the "content" time.

Except it's there for the player and a bit of meta commentary. What makes your character special isn't their body, it's you controlling them, and in the case of the WoL that their soul is what makes them special, not their body. You are what make the difference here. If you cannot adapt, how do you expect to survive the challenges ahead? Because as a player we've had to adapt, get better, change up strategies and do things we've never dreamed of having to do in the game before. Every boss, every trial, every single one of them challenges us to do something new. This instance is a reminder that we're gonna have to push ourselves to the limits to succeed and do things we may find ourselves uncomfortable doing for trials and dungeons.

This sums the scenario up nicely. Thank you!
I hated Zenos for stealing the characters body and it really made me feel uncomfy. But that is the goal of the scenario in my opinion. If Heavensward, Stormblood or Shadowbringers didnt move you in any way, this took the cake.

ok thats nice still found it super boring and a waste of my time( also keywords MY time not a fictional character who hasn't had personality for like 90% of the story). at the end of the day this is a game if the whole point is to waste the character time then do it with a cutscene, not in a crappy poorly made stealth mission that makes every annoying feature of mmos gameplay come to play.....

also i really need to stress this I do NOT give a fuck about the WOL......who i have not felt is my character (story wise) since like late heavansward.
