Why shouldn't someone be allowed to watch the cutscenes on first playthrough?

[Alukah]

Please tell me two things
1. Why is it my job to determine who is new? Why don't you just use your keyboard and express your intentions.
2. How is using your brain and the search info gonna find out who is an alt?

I'll answer two things:

1. I never said it was your job to determine who's new, the post I'm replying to is a direct reply to my small story in post #229, I determined that 5 of the 7 other players were new and NyarukoW is questioning this.
2. That's where communication kicks in, they all said they were new, their search info also showed it was their first 50 and they had the standard gear you would expect from a fresh 50, and also they got the mapping achievement at the end.

You don't have to watch them yourself. You can skip. You can kill trash mobs. Hell, you can even take out some of the bosses (if you ask first and the newbie says okay). Or, y'know. Read a book. Listen to a song. Pop open your DS and take a turn or three on Fire Emblem. And why is it not feasible when you're being payed in mythology tomestones to do precisely that?

They say that if you repeat a lie so many times it becomes truth, but not this time. The first time bonus is just there as an incentive to help clear the content, anything else is inside your head.

Your brain is flawed in its ability to interpret information. I didn't get my mapping achievement for Sastasha, but I've done that at least 2 dozen times. I didn't get it because people speed run sastasha, skip chests and all. I didn't get it until 3 weeks ago when I was helping a FC member with a one of our own really experienced FC tank that made sure we maximized EXP for our new FC member. So you misinterpret that info as being new.

See, you really show you don't run MS roulette at all, there's no way to skip the mapping achievement unless you skip zones and there's no way to skip zones in Praetorium.

And since you have some reading issues, let me tell you again: they all said they were new.
