You may have your own biased opinion against group scenes but I feel them necessary as a classic DnD player. Simply put the group characters need a common location to meet and then be allowed to branch off into what they want to do depending on the character.

Oh, I [i]personally[/i] enjoy watching player interactions in big groups. I just noticed that in my roleplays, things moved the slowest during these times. I don't omit big group scenes, but I do try to make them move faster. I do things like place everyone together (when apropriate) or give the characters a reason to talk to another character, but not such a strong reason that a character can't do their own thing.
