Alliance Raids and players not waiting for Cutscene Watchers

Hmm
So, someone tell me - why do we demand to wait for cutscenes but not for hunt pulls when neither have no gate purposed to stop a pull ?
( I don't hunt, so idc, I just want to see the reasoning )

People want others to wait for hunts.

I feel so sorry for the poor sprout who misses Xande punching a tank in the face a few times due to a cutscene. Such amazing encounter design gone down the drain, never to be seen again, because it's not as if you can ever run an alliance raid again!

Not like people get much out of the ct raids at all anyways fightwise? What a good example, the most boring raid of them all.
Other raids do exist and you only get to experience something for the first time once.

People be like:
Has no time
Does alliance roulette, which can be the longest after msq
Gets something else than ct for once in a month
Surprised pikachu

If i dont have time, i run the 3 shortest roulettes, might be a me thing tho.

Being polite is great and all, but until SE adds in game barriers there's no obligation on either an alliance raid pull or a hunt. The same thing goes for asking for people to wait for FATEs and SE only partially addressed this is Bozja.

Edit: The only current way I can see SE forcing people to wait for alliance raids is ... tada ... the same fix for MSQ roulette ! Yikes. Better double up that exp then.

I actually have been leveling an alt specifically to experience the Sprout experience again and the story, and I encountered something like this in Praetorium where ONE person skipped the final Lahabread cutscene and started fighting them while literally everyone else was in the cutscene, so they achieved almost nothing except making the dialogue weird.

I believe this is an exploit which can be reported.

I was kinda drunk at the time and they vanished before I could figure out who did it, or I would have.

I think the only solution is to add a system where cutscenes are unskippable unless the entire party auto or manually skips. Most people seem to only watch a cutscene once. Its sad we even have to have a discussion about just being a decent human being to others.
