    A little paranoid so...

    I apologize beforehand if this doesn't belong here but it's technically an issue regarding connection.

    So...to put it shortly, my internet connection doesn't like cutscenes, this is specially noticeable during MSQ dungeons where I'm practically guaranteed to disconnect at least once. I do not use the exploit but have been questioned about attempting it, and now I'm concerned if I ever get reported for it (if I haven't already), would the GMs notice the difference between a 'natural' disconnect and alt+f4, or would a report from another player have more weight? should I just...avoid running MSQ knowing it would happen?

    Aslong as you don't pull the boss or whatever enemy alone when you get back into the game while the rest still watch the cutscene you should be fine, atleast if I had someone with internet issues in the group. I also hope that GMs would be kind on you if they see that you don't pull. maybe say in chat "sorry i dc'd, I'll wait for the rest of you to get out so please don't report me" or something explaining your situation

    Just tell the group you DC'd and hang out until they're out of the scene. It's pretty obvious when someone is skipping versus just having a bad connection and pulling the boss is one of the ways.

    This. It isn't being kicked out of the cutscenes that's the issue, it's using the exploit to run ahead and shorten the time in those instances. If you just hang out you're fine.

    I've been consistently getting a 90k error on one or both the elevators in Praetorium and I really can't figure out why it happens, just let your group know and you should be fine/
