Constantly kicked for watching cutscenes

[Caraway]

All I'm hearing from the "watch the cutscenes later" group is "Waaaaaaaahhhh... I want my 300 useless tomes now and cannot be arsed to wait an extra five-ten minutes."

And to the person trying to use a player's first time as being "one time" as a reason why they should skip? You're ignoring the point. You only get one first time. There after the experience is forever ruined.

I still hate going to CM to this day because of a horrible run through it as my first time (and my first introduction to the vileness that is the vocal end-game community).

This. THIS, a thousand times. I'm still irritated that I was pressured to skip my first time through the end of the storyline I'd loved so much up until then. That first time experience is something I'll never get back. Hell, the story scenes don't even add more than ten, fifteen minutes tops to the total time of the dungeon! People are just abusing the system to get what they want faster, and it's hurting the new players who have enjoy this game more than anybody else.

And the worst part of it is that anybody selfish enough to do this to another player (and there are plenty of these people out there!) are selfish to the point that they just don't care if it ruins your fun or not. All they care about is their fast tome reward. There's just no solving this by appealing to the players, so it has to be a fix to the way the system works if anything's going to be done about it.

And just think, these are real people living in the real world who can't see past their own desires... but don't think about it too hard or you will despair.
