Alliance Raids and players not waiting for Cutscene Watchers

[Cheremia]

Usually a lot of people have already finished the alliance raid multiple times, I dont think it's fair to just go out and demand that they all value someone else's time over their own. And you cant have it both ways here: it cant at the same time be only a small deal for everyone to wait the short time a cutscene is over but a big deal to miss 'half the fight' for a cutscene watchers. Either it's a big deal for both and you're asking a big favor of people to not start early or it's only small deal for both and waiting or not waiting doesnt really matter.

Cutscene length is a game design issue, a lot of the cutscene at the last boss of paradigm's breach is useless fluff that adds nothing to the story. Like why do we need to see 9s and 2b get clapped by the girl in red? The real final boss in bunker is the giant 2p, not the sphere.

MMO.

There will always be new people.

New people are not expected to miss parts of the fights just because they started playing later than you.
Why are you, who did it before later new people, special and tell them to just miss things if they want to watch cutscenes. Just because you do it that way and miss parts of fights, doesnt mean others should be expected to want it that way.

I just checked. The Cutscene of False Idol is exactly 1 Minute and 42 seconds long (really feels longer LOL).
Do you not have 2 minutes time?

I have 2 Minutes time if i play a game since i dont expect every roulette i do to be speedran by everybody.

Legit, the most early pulls when there are cutsceners are when an AST places down star. I always say that a bomb has been planted then.

Given how the average run of Tower these days seems to take excessively long, asking for an extra 2 minutes of my already-strained time yes is a bit much to ask given how weight is distributed in alliance raids-newer players often queue in without a clue how to survive, proceed to drag things out due to the weakness debuff, and those of us who are essentially carrying them are considered bad guys by some because we've reached the end of our patience by that point and just want to get on with things.

If a player chooses to not respect my time by being unprepared and dragging out a run then I do not have to sit tight and emote for 2 minutes straight before the final boss. The insufficient rewards, huge varience in runtime length, and the potential drama over a minority of people wanting to hold up the majority of the raid because of cutscenes isn't doing much to convince me to try my luck with Alliance Raid roulette again. As it stands now, I do not use it on my main and on my alts I only unlocked the Crystal Tower series-but even World of Darkness can be a problem raid on the level of Orbonne Monastery on my datacenter.
