    I support this. After reading through this thread I will say this.

    Why are people mad over this idea?
    No loot, no achievements, no progression PERIOD.
    Just cutscenes.

    This isn't even a casual vs hardcore content thing. Us casuals are NOT trying to get a free ride. We just want story.

    But I do agree. SE would have to spend time retuning the content.

    I say this:
    Offer a quest that awards all the cutscenes.
    We talk to some NPCs, and get a "Echo Crystal".
    It lets us watch All the cutscenes from the innroom.

    Boom. Problem solved. No Raid is even touched.
    No loot, no exp, no echo buff, nothing.

    Everyone is happy.

    What you are describing is not a video game.

    How does watching it from within the game engine differ from watching it on Youtube then? Like now you are just arguing about nothing. We have this day and age an easy medium to share videos and cutscenes, this isn't 2004 with people watching the Chains of Pomathia missions from Allakhazam with terrible compression (even though people still did it back then). The story is also part and parcel of the total reward. It's the same how if you don't beat a boss in a single-player FF game, you don't learn what happens next. Well, except you do if you watch it online. Yet you want to get access to that without even doing a single thing, let alone beating something. How freaking entitled are you? Do you ask developers to show all the cutscenes of single players games right when you launch it as well?

    Because it takes the whole point out of end game its Kent to be challenging the story is a big part of what makes doing the hard content worth it.
