We will all then forcibly watch the true final boss cutscene during its transition.

    Letting people wipe "to teach them a lesson" is an example of uncooperative behavior that violates ToS. Pulling when the majority have already watched a cutscene in a *24* man instance is not. Also for the dungeons I mentioned in my post-if you think I will sit there doing nothing during one of those dungeons that literally goes out of its way to slow people down with poison puddles and another whose pre-boss cutscene must be at least 5 minutes long, I am very sorry but I would rather bail entirely in favor of a shorter dungeon and leave the sprouts to find someone else to do the run with.

    I notice that we have gone past trying to appeal to my morality, but I am still unconvinced of the sacredness of letting sprouts watch the entire minutes-long cutscenes without pulling ahead. There is simply no justifying the wait past the first 2 weeks that the raid launches in, because after that chances are most people you'll see in there are no longer new and want to just grab their loot and leave.
    I assure you were we in a 4 man, which is the scenario you mentioned, and I am the tank, and you pull as a dps, nobody is going to defend you, nobody is going to be mad at me for letting you die. I'm also sure nobody would oppose if I initiated a vote-kick which odds are I would. To suggest you, knowingly, doing something toxic, being responded to predictably, then painting the people you were toxic towards as the bad guys and suggesting they be banned (and I have seen you in other threads on this topic suggest cutscene watchers are breaking TOS for watching cutscenes after you pulled without warning or consent (and not even as the tank) because they were too busy watching a cutscene to help). This is the literal definition of being passive aggressive, I'd go further and argue this is just straight up anti-social behavior.

    In an alliance raid? Sure you'll probably get away with it. You might not, though. But in dungeon? No, I assure you you will be running in alone and recieving no heals or taunting off, and odds are end up vote-kicked. It doesn't matter if you don't cause a wipe, you're displaying an extremely toxic attitude and utter lack of respect for other players which I have zero tolerance or patience for.
