This needs to be stopped, and immediately.

If it's someone's first time in CM or Praetorium, let them watch the cutscenes.

It is as simple as that.

It is basic courtesy.

Your daily grind can take a momentary backseat to their first-time experience of the main story's climax.

[LoLo]

Strange, but nothing has ever been done to prevent people from being harassed for not skipping CS because they are new to the game. Its crazy to think this is still allowed to happen. I never get to enjoy the second coil CS so I feel you OP.

And many of us are perfectly fine with that... as long as you also agree that...

If it's someone's 700th time in CM or Praetorium, let them keep moving without making a big deal.

It is as simple as that.

It is basic courtesy.

Your story time can take place as the other seven members continue their daily grind.

You will see the boss fights hundreds of times too, eventually.

Square-Enix will need to force cut-scenes to be played (no-skipping). This is truly the best way.

Or do like in the Dark Souls games where everyone needs to approve skipping the scene. If one person doesn't it'll play for everybody.

[Felis]

No. That is your primary reason for being in there. The reason for the other 7 people is the duty roulette. If that wouldn't be the case you wouldn't get into the dungeon in the first place (or at least wait multiple hours).

The only real solution would be to make them one player instances.

Or make the CS unskipable if someone in he party is a first-timer and increase the roulette reward as a compensation for the unskipable CS

[ServerCollaps]

if they do that noone will run the storymodes anymore and the ppl, who need it will complain even more, because they spend hours in the dutyfinder without getting a group

they should be happy about ppl who carry them through the dungeon and watch the scences in the inn

SE really needs to step in and change some stuff. The players (SRers) are treating other players (First timers) like shit because they don't play the same way. Right now, SE is acting like a 6 year old plugging their ears going "NA NA NA NA NA NA" thinking the community will sort itself out. I think SE needs to FORCE people to change. What Neneko said could be a start. If one person is a first timer, everyone watches bottom line. If you can't be assed to wait, do an expert dungeon. We obviously can't be trusted with skipping cutscenes, look how we treat each other.

Snip

For real? jeez i hope i never into you in this game :P this is the sort of attitude this game needs less of. Hell the other day i joined a random group of ppl doing this run who were new and wanted to watch everything and why did i join? that thing called helping ppl just because you have done this run {like lots of others} dose not mean you have a right to force ppl to skip stuff

[Zakalwe]

These people kill me, not like there is a huge headline starting the dungeon that there are new players. I take the cut scene as a take 5, grab a new drink, regroup, and prepare for battle.

I agree in a sense with both you and the previous poster. Kicking someone for watching cut scenes is just wrong and reportable. And yet... It is not just a matter of take five. I believe the cut scenes in CM and Prae go on, all told, for 30-45 minutes. This really is a design fail on the part of SE. In another thread, amidst the usual angst, were a couple useful suggestions.

For SE, find a way of reorganizing the cut scene story into one long scene at the end. So first timers can watch the scenes in context and rouletters can boogie.

For players (pending any change), don't kick but depending on what job is watching don't necessarily wait. Typically only 1 or 2 (or even more typically zero) are there for the first time, and the dungeons are easy with over-geared lvl50s.

[LadyVaJedi]

Let me get this straight Therpgfanatic your tell the OP that we aren't allowed to watch the screens?
