    Considering players interested in watching cutscenes are the great minority, it makes much more sense that they form their own group. Utilitarianism and all.

    can't tell if completely naive or sarcasm.

    new players have no clue that CM is a place people speed run. When they first hit 50, they continue on their story quest and Q for duty finder. This is where the story is really getting intense.

    Then you have tanks chainpull and everyone ignore everything while they kill bosses and yell at them to skip cutscenes.

    The people who are speedrunning know better. They have already completed the story. Go to mhro dana, 1 shout, there you go, 8 people. '

    If you Q for DF, don't whine and complain based on who you get.

    Are they really the "great minority"? You got the stats to back up that statement?

    That is in fact the opposite of what that means.

    The fact that speed runners are the vast majority means it's easier to make a premade CMSR group than it is to make a party filled with first timers looking to enjoy the story. Duty finder is really the only place you can go to treat the mission as the story mission it is.

    With the constant "LFM CMSR" shouts in Revenant's Toll, I think anyone who would rather DF CM than join a server side pug, is just too embarrassed about poor gear, knowledge, and/or skill to join one server side.

    OT: I agree OP, it should absolutely stop. More importantly, I wish there was some way to convince every first timer to just watch their CSs, there is literally nothing the DF champions can do to stop you.

    Maybe the are NOW because there are less new players, but everyone and their mommas wanted to watch cutscenes the first time they did dungeons 2-3 months ago.
