This has to stop.

Majority rules! If your in a party and 7 people say skip the cutscene and you don't they are not elitist or being rude YOU are.

Hard to take serious with an orange lemon shaped hat on thy head.
I must be the only one laughing at these here replies. Yep, I'ma big stinky doodoo head because I wanna watch a 3 min scene.
Most of you act like your life is on the line about it. Most people who watch them, are people who are new to the runs.
You have 1 extremely good options here folks: Shout you're looking for a speedrun.

There's the solution. Or. Not be a total dookie head and let people watch? Why does all you gotta complain about every single thing?
Form your own party and call it a day. God dog...This community is killing my face.

I'm very sad that my CM run was a compromise between me being allowed to watch cutscenes and the others speed-running.

We were just skipping past everything, killing things, shooting cannons. I hardly had any real idea what was going on. I usually come out of a dungeon having fully (for the most part) grasped its concepts, but with CM . . . I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you one thing about it. Not a single tactic during events or mechanics of boss fights.

Whenever I re-run CM with my Free Company (it's going to take time for enough of them to reach 50, and I'm OK with that; I was just rushing a bit because I wanted to see how the story ended) I'm going to be going in with an absolutely fresh mind. That doesn't seem right to me.

I have to ask, does anyone working on "end game" remember at all that they were new as well? The way they act, you'd believe that these people began at 50. Last I checked, Diabolos wasn't a Legacy server.

If you want a speed run, go shout for it in mhor dona they fill up fast. If your queueing in, deal with it. For many people watching them in the inn isn't the same as seeing it before the fight, the buildup just isn't there.

I'm sorry but no one can convince me that skipping the cutscenes and watching them in the inn is just the same. Um no its not, I like to be immersed in the story I love it, when I got to CM I did not skip the cutscenes cause I wanted to see my party members with me in them. If I skipped that and watched it in the room it would not have been as epic, and I would have been standing there alone, woooo -_-

FF has always had groups of friends working together to fight a common enemy, yea I would actually like to SEE my team and I fight lol
I never make anyone skip their cutscenes & don't see any reason why others do. You want a speed run, form it yourself don't force ppl to rush through their storyline.

Majority rules! If your in a party and 7 people say skip the cutscene and you don't they are not elitist or being rude YOU are. Count yourself lucky you get in to CM with experienced people and run it fast because in an ALL new group it takes most of that 2 hour timer(more then that fi they really suck).

Vote kick is needed. A blacklist for the duty finder is needed. Or a master solution would be get rid of the duty finder altogether so people will learn to play and gear up so they will get invited to groups.

So people wanting to watch the story line are being rude? Because you know they payed for the game and want to watch the story line and play it like they want but thats them being rude? Yea no.

Keeps happening...
Just joined an ongoing CM run, the new guy was scared silly by two bullies of not-skipping the scenes... and they started insulting me too when I started defending him.
Oh well, filed a report for insults and harassment, hope SE gamemasters do their work properly.

I hope SE realizes that there's a big problem about this going on, and take a strong stance against these people.

[kazaran]

Ignore bullies. DO not engage in unproductive debates. IF they refuse to play and disrupt the flow. Report them. DO NOT give them reason to continue their acts or SE to see you as part of the conflict.

Yes some of us want to speed run. Get our tomes. But have no right to tell others that they can not view game content. DF is free for all to enjoy it to the full games content. No matter what you want or feel.

You have no right (including myself) to tell a person "viewing cut scenes is a violation".

Harassing and threatening them, as well as claiming power you do not poccess is a violation, and can be punished by SE.


Report people who harass. Do not get into any debate. Simply say "I have the right to view the content of the game as it is created, harassment is against the TOS".

End it there.

Wait. Make a harassment report, then continue. I have already seen numerous people suspended for it.

IF you are running CM for the story. Are on hyperion. Message me. I will be glad to Tank, Heal or DD it with your group and allow you to watch all the cutscenes.

I do too. Ran the place a million times already, kinda tired of it.

But I'll never gonna tread on other people's right to enjoy the story.

[Inuakurei]

I don't know why people let random people in the duty finder bully them into skipping cut scenes. I remember my first time where one tank was yelling for people to skip the CS's and I just ignored him and watched them anyway. They cant exactly stop you and there's nothing they can do to you. People just need to stop being intimidated by 12 year olds on the internet.

[Psykloned]

I've had this happen many times. I even spoke out against a group of 4 in a CM run I DFed since they were bullying a healer for watching the cutscenes. They proceeded to not tank properly, wipe the group a lot, and the other healer from that group of 4 refused to heal me for it. Oh well though I said my peace for the poor guy/girl.
