    However, you're more mature than people who scream and cuss at people to skip cutscenes.

    So that's at least that.
    Maybe I should watch cutscenes during a run and turn off chat and see what happens . I guess I would be a douche for doing that tho . Can't win right

    I strongly disagree. The cutscenes are there to be watched, by new players and old players alike. You're 100% entitled to watching the cutscenes and keeping your chat window closed, because nobody has a right to shout at you during them.

    That is, in a Duty Finder run. The DF runs for Prae/CM are primarily aimed at players trying to complete the story. That they became popular for speed runs, somehow, is beyond me, because it just isn't right to screw people out of their story cutscenes. It's not hard to just make your own group and queue with that.

    In a premade speed run group, watching the cutscenes is equivalent to trolling, though.

    TBH, those guys waited like what... 30-40 minutes for an instance? The least you could do is have some patience.

    I mean, c'mon, the guys who watch cutscenes are the new guys, new players, with soft heart and cookies. Why give them the cold shoulder?

    We tanks have practically no queue time, on top of it all, you can tank CM with just one healer. So, what was the point of ragequit?

    Well I ran CM and actually watched the cutscenes for the first time in about 25+ runs . It didn't go so well , another player also wanted to watch cutscenes , a huge argument broke out between him and another player .

    It got pretty ugly fast , the mob started talking about 1st rule of running lvl 50 dungeons is skip cut scenes and watch them in inn blah blah long story short , couple of players left .



    My little experiment proved that watching cutscenes is a bad idea if you want smooth run

    I stand by what I said previously - you're a douche and a liar. Nobody starts a fight when its the tank who sits and watches CS.

    Um... yeah they do. Their are plenty of people out there that complain about folks watching cutscenes no matter what role they're in. I partially blame SE in putting in so many cutscenes in the last two dungeons and then throwing in rewards for completing them over and over.
