A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.
The new cutscene in volcanic fractal repeat lot of times even when the following event (kill veterans before they kill hostages) starts.
And when it happens it just steals lot of precious time to complete such event freezing players but not veterans.
I got stopped by the cutscene while still running away from the rolling fireballs. I was lucky to not get killed.
More attention always helps, but it looks like it has been at least partially acknowledged.

As Saucermote pointed out, we’re currently tracking the issue.
Thanks for the report!
