This has to stop.

FFXI didnt have any people this violently angry...

Haha, violently angry sounds about right, has been my experience with most people in this game, thing is, people were nice until they hit 50, then they magically turned into monsters.

This'll be awesome when I hit level 50! My girlfriend is a healer and I'm a tank and we WILL be watching all of the cutscenes our first time through. I'm going to dine well on tears that night.

The people who want you to skip cutscenes don't seem to understand what an MMO is. They are playing with other PEOPLE, who each deserve to watch that cutscene just as much as anyone else on their first run. If your time is that precious, and you dislike playing with other PEOPLE that much, go play a single player game where you can have as much control over your situation as you want

[Ignnis]

Maybe, what SE could do is divide the duty finder (DF) into two options when a player is trying to queue. One option for NEW players and another for EXPERIENCED players.

And while at it, make it so in the new player DF cutscenes cannot be skipped, but can in the experienced DF.

Just throwing an idea out there. Not saying that it should be this way.

Or have a "Story Mode" with cutscenes and an "Adventure Mode" with no cutscenes.

You will get extra tears as a tank. I got a flood of tears for not knowing how to do a speed run. My BRD friend didn't help the situation because he's used to how I tank. He was ripping the mobs off of the speed running tank since he tried to move the mobs without generating a lot of enmity first. It was funny watching the boss going back and forth at the start of the fight.

I made the mistake of skipping the cut scenes in the dungeon. You cannot watch these cut scenes in the INN.
. Edit: @Freakiie, I'll go look at that option. The cut scenes are tied to the dungeon so it does ruin the experience skipping them for the first time.
I'll be back there for more tears when I watch the cut scenes, please look forward to it.

All those cutscenes are in the inn. Use the menu to select duty and then you can look at them.

Edit: This also goes for you Pseudo.

I'm almost always a conjurer/white mage for dungeon runs. When I do a dungeon for the first time, I like to watch my cutscenes. If the group can't wait for me to get out of a cutscene, boohoo. Same also goes for when I try to explain to newbies and when there is a player who has already done the dungeon, and end up starting, I just let them die because I haven't explained everything yet. Id rather my party know what to do than know nothing and start.

So many opinions

Or how about you go to the inn room after and watch the cutscenes? You got all the cutscenes there!

I got into "speedrun" CM for my storyline today. You know what? I was friggin happy about that! Because they knew how crap worked the run was smooth, I got CM done first try and without any frustration because of clueless people and afterwards I went to the inn and watched the cutscenes. Give me getting bullied into skipping cutscenes, but having a good party everytime over watching cutscenes but having a crap party.

That's a sad way to experience the game for the first time... It is a JRPG which puts story first and foremost.

Take your elitist jackarse of a self back to wow.

WE do NOT like your mentality here

I will forever despise WOW for generating so many tools in the MMO universe.

FF is about story and community togetherness...not elitist pricks who bully and epeen braggers.

If we allow you tools to continue in your manner.... we will get things nerfed again to the point that a 3 year old can droll on a keyboard and get max gear/level
