Cutscene skipping "peer pressure" What is it? Why does it exist? Why care?

[Luin]

The first time I ran Rabanastre, I watched the cutscene before the final boss. It's about thirty seconds long, maybe. The alliance pulled the boss and locked the fight before I finished, so I never got to participate in that battle. That's one reason not to watch.

Second reason is that one party member said "watch cutscenes in your inn on your own time, don't waste MY time" before leaving. Over thirty seconds. THIRTY SECONDS. These people exist.

I can see why some people skip cutscenes rather than dealing with this.

I only takes 1 person to pull. It's 23 other people. You really cant be surprised, especially since you cant see who is viewing cutscenes across alliances.

How did you get locked out? If you were running with your group normally, you'd be there the same time they pull, even if they had no pause for the pull. The cutscene triggers when someone enters Argath's room. You should basically be right outside in the worst case; it still has 15s lockout.

Also, it's 23 people. At the end of the day, this isn't a single-player game. Cutscenes should be outright removed from 24man content (and really all multiplayer content). You're basically saying you value your time more than that of 23 other people.

So what's the point that it's 1.0 or 2.0 or 3.0? The fact is that the cutscene is pretty long. Doesn't matter how long the fight itself takes.

What?

That's the entire point.

It shows they aren't still making stupid cutscenes like CM/Prae. Did you read the post you replied to?
