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

Threads like this is why Dawntrail MSQ is an absolute borefest full of "talk to Wuk Lamat" quests and "Follow this person without getting caught".

I doubt that Dawntrail’s low number of solo duties is the result of this thread, especially since one of the four solo duties we did get was still one that didn’t let us play our character’s job. Endwalker’s MSQ without patch content has five solo duties—only one more than we got in Dawntrail—so this problem isn’t even new. To me, Dawntrail and Endwalker feel similarly dead in terms of gameplay. But Dawntrail is longer than Endwalker, so the combat segments have longer stretches of cutscene/dialogue/walking time in-between them, and Dawntrail’s story is less well-liked than Endwalker’s, so people are noticing the lackluster gameplay experience more because they’re not engrossed in the story.

In any case “almost all gameplay outside of walking and clicking through dialogue should be cut from future expansions’ MSQ” would not have been a reasonable takeaway from reading a thread in which people are saying “I didn’t enjoy this one specific solo duty (which has a misleading objective, three buttons for your character, no automatic HP regen, ‘stealth’ in a game that generally isn’t built with stealth gameplay in mind, and a very slow gameplay experience overall)”.
