This has to stop.

[Fuz]

So, I log and queue up for CM.
Since I'm pretty much fed up with the place and want a smooth & fast run, I check for the ongoing runs to get over with it faster.
A 3/5 opens.
"Oh, cool, it's my lucky day".
So, nothing to say, really smooth run... but I notice one tank seems unexperienced.
Livia dies and one guy in the group says:
"Now you can go watch the cutscenes in the room"
"Oh I can watch them there? Cool"
So I ask him "let me guess... have they bullied you into skipping them?" "yeah, pretty much, they said they didn't want to wait and that it was a speed run, so I had to skip them."
Turns out that the poor guy was really interested in the story, but they abused and coerced him into skipping every cutscene.

THIS. HAS. TO. STOP. NOW.

I've seen this too many damn times.
Stop bullying new people in DF, douchebags.
You want a speed run? Put up your own group in /sh in Mor'dhona with 7 other people that want the same type of run.

And for people new to the story instances... don't let them bully you if you care for the story. Ignore them, and watch your cutscenes... they can leave if they are so annoyed by a few minutes wait.

I'm watching the cut-scenes the first time I see them.

I'll never cross the purple 'do not cross' line until I see everyone has finished watching cut-scenes.

Don't like it? Leave
Can run it without me? Cool, I'll wait outside the fight but I'm still needing on the gear that drops if I need it.
Get angry and curse spewing foul language? Don't care, you can't call me anything worse than any of my ex's have so I just chuckle.

I know I'm good at my class. I don't need your acceptance to be able to sleep at night.

Maybe I'll go make a sandwich after I'm done with the cut-scene if you're really trying to be a prick. First person to leave is the only one that gets the penalty lol.

Pretty much how you should handle it.

I'm kinda confused about why half groups Que for speedruns make a full group Christ you only need 1 tank.

Because making 7 other people stand around for a total of like 20 minutes while you watch cutscenes that you can watch elsewhere is totaly not being a prick either....nope not at all

The game system itself was made so you get those cut scenes, it's up to the player to choose if they want to watch or not. If you go a group through DF and find someone trying to enjoy the story like it should be, you got no choice. Now you want to go ahead and start throwing words at the person go ahead, but be warned, you could be reported for harassment as the other person did NOTHING wrong. He's playing the game the way it should be played because of the way it's setup up right now. Don't blame the player.

Nope, it's not, The sad part if in this horrible display of sarcasm you already admit it. of course only the selfish and impaitent seriously consider someone to be a "prick" just because they actually want to enjoy the story without being told "go watch in your inn cause we already seen them and don't care for what you want, only what WE want instead"

Now who exactly are the pricks here?

No. It isn't. Jumping into the Duty Finder and acting like a prick because someone was *gasp* new to the dungeon is the problem here. You don't like it? Leave. Go make a premade party. There is no excuse for shitting on someones day just because you're impatient despite deliberately going through channels that have a very high chance of pairing you with someone new.

I think it's easier for newbies to find other newbies or people who don't mind, speed runners are the majority and you have to deal with it
