Do you skip dialog?
Ugh
Shadowspawn X
I don't have a bizillon toons , so I enjoyed the cutscenes each time I went though the game (3 times).
nkuvu
I watch the cinematics at least once, but after that I tend to skip. I read the quest dialogs thoroughly... the first time.
Helix Dreadlock
first time, i do.
second time...meh.
third time....blagh.
When i have a bad head or bored to tears, yea, i read it lol

It's rare that I don't skip cut-scenes, and I almost never read the dialog for quests. The voice acting is sub-par, and the animation is uninteresting.
Chicken of the Seas
For movie cut-scenes I always watch them the first time, just like I always read quest dialogs the first time. I even read Nicholas the Traveler's text before you give him the items, just out of curiosity on what he has to say. Besides knowing what I'm supposed to do, I like reading for the lore part of it.
After seeing it for the first 1-2 times though I just skip it, same with quest dialogs. Been there done that.
Although having to take my time reading things all the time drove my ex crazy.
"Rurik, no!"

Factions cutscenes are nothing more than mockeries of hilariously bad English anime dubs to me. "BeWARE... the HARvest... ceREmony!" It's like people don't know when to enunciate when acting. Makes you wonder why they get hired.
Now, the one quest dialogue that I never skip is Drakes on the Plain.

I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who cheered when Rurik died. (The first time I watched it, I was on my monk. I was like "Oh. Wow. Does this mean I don't have to babysit his Leeroy ass anymore? YAY!" )
Dzjudz
The Factions cutscenes are just excruciatingly painful to watch. The fortune teller and Shiro voice actors are just the worst imaginable. Horrible voice, horrible enunciation, just horrible all around. Master Togo is positively terrible as well. It's like the developers didn't watch the cutscenes after they made them.
Also, everytime I travel to Elona with a character, I cringe at the line "A land of wealth and bounty." The pronunciation of wealth is just weird. I skip most cutscenes now.

I watched them the first few times. I tend to skip the ones in the missions I do for zcoins, but when I'm actually playing to progress through storyline I watch a few of them.
Darcy
I play with the sound off and with 10 PvE characters, I skip cutscenes now (unless they open up cartography areas).
YunSooJin
yes.......................................
Malla13
The dialogue is usually the only sound I have turned on. I like the cutscenes. I watch them all at least once, but I don't mind repeats (unless I've done the same mission more than once that week, then it gets old). I don't read the text boxes too closely, although I've learned that sometimes the dialogue can be funny, like the Canthan noble who tried to use healing salve for help in the bedroom. XD Overall I think paying attention to the storyline at least once really adds to my personal enjoyment of the game.
coil
when i started, i read everything (proph). played through with 1 char and stopped. came back ~week after factions release, havent read anything since.
pamelf
I never read anythng they say. It's not important mostly. The quest logs give me all the information I need.
The forth fly
i watch them once then never again i don't care about the story i just wanna kill stuff 
Stolen Souls
I usually skip dialog, yeah. I skip all cutscenes because I have seen them all before and don't wanna watch all that bad acting again. The quest dialog...I have tried to read it all, but quickly got bored of it and started skipping it. When there is dialog that pops up during a mission (Togo's neverending blabbering during Tahnnakai Temple, for example) I turn off team chat just so I don't have to see the flood of text.
Calaval
First time I play a campaign I never skip the cutscenes, although I speed read the quest dialogue sometimes.

lilDeath
Yes, I skip dialog - especially if I am in a hurry and might run the of risk dying (if I don't want to).
I might not skip if I want to check out some new spiffy armor.

Mad Lord of Milk
I'm too impatient. Cut scenes aren't good enough for me to stop and watch. Same goes for quest dialogue.
MithranArkanere
I read it all once, after that I no longer need to read.
So I never skip the first time I make a mission or quest, or the first time I learn a skills or every time a skill is updated.
But never twice. Just once is enough.

Little Shenanigan
the first time i went through the game i skipped it because i was in a hurry to play the game, but the next couple of times i watched it when i went through, which i found more enjoyable.
Magua
If I H/H a mission there's a good chance I'll skip the cutscene unless it's something special.
If I'm in a pug, I generally won't skip unless everyone else has already skipped, as you never know if the other last person feels pressured into skipping something they may not have seen, just because everyone else did.
If I'm in a guild/alliance party, it just depends how annoying I want to be

wow! So many responces! Ill come back later beacause... DINNER TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
Alleji
I watched cutscenes first time playing through the game... well, in Prophecies and Factions at least. In Nightfail, I started skipping shortly after getting to Koruna and in EotN skipped everything other than the charr storyline and/or everything involving Vekk.
Cale Roughstar
I read and watch things when I play something for the first time, and sometimes when it has been a really long time.
Shadowhaze
I watch/read things at least once. I've gone through so many times now, I don't really need to do it again. 
If it's by some chance something I don't remember seeing before, I'll read through it.

I never read anything: I just pick quest/skip animation and c+space my way to the green marker.
The lore after Prophecies kinda got boring.

I watch the dialogs and read them the first time that I go though something but after beating the game several times, I skip the stuff that ive seen several times.
TottWriter
I generally watch them first time round (cutscenes)
Then if I'm in a group and it turns out there's someone who blatantly wants to watch (if it's me and someone else) I won't skip, so that they don't feel so guilty about holding up, or feel pressured to skip. Everyone should get a chance to watch. (Basically, I'm always last to skip, but not coz I love watching)
I generally listen to dialogue on the same principles. First time round i pay close attention so I don't miss something. With the next character that comes along I don't really mind that much, unless I've forgotten an important detail. But usually I L-button anything I need to know. I get quite complacent about it.
When I play with my brother I watch everything, coz he's very much into total immersion gaming, and I feel bad sniping as he has learning difficulties.

In every game the first time I play I watch every cut scene and read every dialog.
After that I tend to skip them - because its get boring especially if I play same mission or quest for 10th time.
It is very nice to have option to skip so you don't have to watch same thing over and over again.

There's dialog in GW?!
Seriously though, I do always watch cutscenes and read dialogs the first time they appear.
After that, I might watch cutscenes again if I find them entertaining - for example, I never tire of seeing a particular cutscene in Prophecies, where you (party leader) get to a kill certain Leeroy - sweet revenge for all those times he made you fail your missions back in the early days of GW. Also, some voice-acting in GW is so bad its actually entertaining to listen to it.
There are also some cutscenes I will switch to a pumpkin head, candy weapons etc just before they start, then watch them through so that I can make screenshots of myself looking silly in the middle of it.
Otherwise I will skip...

Been there. Done that. Won't do it again. I skip cutscenes every chance I get now. It's nothing more then a nuisance and just slows down my gaming. Stupid things just get in the way of what I set out to do.
chaosincarnate87
dont skip it the first time, from then on yes because its a waste of precious pre-work game time. unless its the final scene from frost gate where rurik finally gets what he deserves... i ALWAYS watch that one.
MirkoTeran
I don't skip:
- If I haven't seen it
- I there was someone in a group bitching all then time how we should all skip it.

Jonii
I always watch cutscenes on the first playthrough. However, after...
In Prophecies and Eye of the North, I like to watch the cutscenes.
In Nightfall, it really depends on my mood, but I'll usually watch.
In Factions, the voice acting makes me cringe. I think my ears bled once.
