I see these threads pop up fairly often.

As someone said above, everything is a two-way street. Should you expect EVERYONE to wait for just YOU to watch the cutscenes? No. Is it the polite thing to do? Absolutely.

I began playing at launch and blasted through the game, reaching CM/Praetorium in about a week and a half. Even THEN I was kicked multiple times for wanting to watch the cutscenes, which was absurd. The game wasn't even two weeks old yet!

Since then I swore to myself that when doing Main Story roulette, if someone was new, at least *I* would make it clear that I had no problem watching CSs, and as a tank would gladly wait for people to finish them before pulling. I enjoyed the story and I thought the CSs were well done, and I believe people should be able to enjoy them as well, no matter when they started playing.

I enjoy helping people and watching others enjoy themselves, which seems to be rare these days. Call me weird.
