I agree completely. This is a Win-Win situation. They get the cutscenes, I get a short break and my minions stick around for more fun!

I must admit I was pleasantly surprised by this, didn't think it was that high on ANet's priority list, but I guess it was

Now as soon as they "fix" Verata's Sacrifie, I'll be a happy camper

Thank you so much ANet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When playing MM, it was so incredibly frustrating to ask everyone to skip, watch the entire cutscene at 7/8, and then have no minions afterwards. Also, I may now get to watch some of the Factions cutscenes -- I've just recently beaten the game, but probably skipped over half the cutscenes due to the MM/master's time problems.

Now if only party members couldn't get killed during cutscenes...

Indeed, anyone complaining about that they don't want to watch cutscenes should just play with henchies

Actually, that actually happened to me. I played Prophecies a bit late - most people had long finished the game before I bought it. I couldn't get through the Rurik mission with henchies (yeah, I kind of sucked) and so played with a full group. After the mission... 1... 2... 3... 7/8 players want to skip the cutscene. I felt bad for holding everyone up, and reluctantly skipped the mission. And then... Argghh... Rurik DIED? What the... Doh!

So, yeah... If someone is watching the cutscene, it probably means that they just haven't seen it yet.
