    why should the burden of preserving your immersion be placed on 7 other random people? in my experience most people just want to get thru the run as fast as possible, even the first timers.

    besides, if a story focused dungeon is your preference, you have options

    Use partyfinder to form your own parties, there's an option in there that you can check that informs players that you're willing to watch all cutscenes, and since its your party, it will be up to them to join or not.

    That's what I've been doing lately, all the dungeon runs that I needed to clear content, been forming my own parties and I check off everything that I'm looking for in a party and have recruited some pretty awesome players, experienced and new alike!

    Que period didn't take long for me either to get my parties because there's always gonna be someone out there that's gonna need that same dungeon, or experienced players that want to just lend a helping hand while leveling an alt class or something.

    I'll tell you one thing, I'm never going back to douchebag finder again! PF works fine!

    Your mistake is ignoring and not communicating with the party.

    "Viewing Cutscene" can also mean you're AFK, especially if you're silent and ignoring everyone.
    lol That doesn't work! They wouldn't care, they never do when someone expresses themselves that they'd like to get the full experience from the story.

    Report them, they ruined the game experience for a player and deserve to be reported. There was no reason for a new player to be kicked like that.

    These story dungeons don't need full geoups to do the content anymore. I don't mind of one or two people watch the cutscenes we just carry on the dungeon without them its not a big deal.

    Whiners gonna whine.

    You don't understand, these people want to watch the cutscenes, plus experience all the fights, they don't want to make their own party through party finder set up for this because it can take to long to get a full group, so they use the duty finder and expect 7 others to do what they want, because their time and opinion is more important than everybody elses.

    Noob question. Does the PF que up like the DF when all conditions are met? Just that sometimes I see people set times, like 9pm PST, do they leave their console/computer running the game all day, I would figure if you logged out then the party would be dismissed.

    In that case he could leave and avoid wasting his time... And try to que again... Better than getting far in the run just to be kicked ( ' x '

    Or maybe the speed runners would decide to quit when they heard him and then they could be replaced with others that may be okay with a slow run.

    It's always good to discuss your intentions at the start to avoid misunderstandings later on. People got different goals. DF is free for all.

    By the way, in no way do I support that kick. But I'm looking at the situation and trying to offer the OP the solution to avoid this in the future. Because speed runners are going to continue to be speed runners, we all know that.

    The fact is we are all paying customers, people will want to watch the cutscenes in CM/PRAE and people will want to speedrun. Then the speedrunners flip out at the cutscene watchers but you decided to join the main scenario roulette. You took the risk of dealing with new players who will want to watch their cutscenes. You cannot expect every CM/PRAE to be a speed run, it's not fair to the new players and we really shouldn't treat them like crap because they are enjoying the storyline.

    This wouldnt be a problem if every single ban was publicly announced. If there were information like "Player XXX YYY was punished with 1 month ban for forcing players to skip cutscenes" publicly avaible, every first timer harrasment in DF would IMMEDIATELY stop. I remember OGame doing it correctly.
