MSQ cutscene skipping against TOS?

[PvpDRG]

Irony is, the time spent arguing on this very thread could have been spent doing MSQ roulette.

Heck, you even get cutscene time to respond.

Already did my MSQ and this is why I'm asking about it because people did it and I want to know if I can do it or not. Everyone on here is attacking me because they think I'm this monster who breaks the game and hurts the game play experience for everyone. People in that run praised the people who skipped btw. They where happy to be out of it quicker.

People praised it there, sure. But praising it doesn't mean it's not breaking a rule, as others have highlighted in this thread. If they wanted people to skip cutscenes, they would still have the cutscene skip option in those dungeons. Bypassing it through an unintended exploit is breaking a rule.

But literally all it takes is one person not enjoying it and writing up that report to have you face-to-face with a GM. You aren't going to get validation on wanting to break the rule; you can do it all you like, but you're the one risking your account to do so, keep that in mind. its your choice to take the risk or not.

So if I go out into the world and find a player doing this fate "glitch", I can simple report them and have the fate system reworked because it breaks my enjoyment in having a hard fought fight won the "real" way?

You could yes and if you gathered enough traction for a case, they'd look to rework the system. It would need a good number of players to do the same though

This is exactly how the MSQ dungeons went from skippable to unskippable. People were kicked from parties or abused in chat for watching cutscenes, new people wanted to watch the scenes in real time (as tbh, it is not the same watching it back at the unending journey) and the conflicts this caused moved them to make it unskippable.

If the GM thinks its against the rules, then sure, that report could go somewhere.

The only reason the MSQ roulette got reworked is that there was enough outrage from people getting their story ruined that it reached the higher up devs. Your report wouldn't get the FATE system reworked unless there was enough wide-spread outrage.

But its super simple. You can do the skip, but you risk getting a ban for doing so if you have certain people in your party. That's it. Take the risk or not, but accept the consequences of your actions if you get pulled into the Mordion Gaol one day.
I had a friend who pulled this exact exploit and unfortunately for him he got a nice suspension slapped on him a day later. Was pretty funny seeing him vanish from existence in our Amdapor run only for him to get angry over discord, and I was like "I tried to warn you."
