    Being considerate of others. Letting new players enjoy the game like it was meant to be experienced. (Yes, I exclude experienced players from that)

    But being polite should be reason enough. We are talking about 20 mere seconds.

    If it's such a mere 20 seconds, why should it matter if people pull?

    Because you force them to miss content. That is an active choice you make to the detriment of others. Waiting is passive

    Nobody misses content, though. You get to fight the boss, they get to watch their cutscene, and next time they get to fight the boss without the cutscene.

    Raidwide, three autos and tankbuster isn't "content".

    In the case of Puppet's Bunker it's pretty much a whole phase you miss.

    And Yoshida should have told Yoko Taro to get lost when he insisted on putting a feature length film in the middle of duty.

    It's not just about the length of the cutscene, I was also referring to the fact that the fight changes completely shortly in, so if you miss the first phase you'll see a completely different fight only, plus the fight being way more complex than a raidwide, a few autos and a tankbuster (which tbh would be a huge oversimplification of any alliance raid boss fight).

    Last time I checked, pulling does not automatically skip people's cutscenes. Unless you mean that they miss a raidwide and maybe a textbox of dialogue, which honestly doesn't even count as content.

    If we were still in the days of not being able to join a fight after the arena seals I would agree with you, however, we are not in those times anymore.
