Vote Kick if watching cut scene? Dev Pls Respond

[Lady_Venus]

this is a joke right? I have played this game and take alot of joy in watching the storyline unfold... and NO ONE has the right to take that from me... if i want to watch the story line i worked hard to see it I WILL its my right.. and i wouldnt mind waiting for someone while they are watching the cutscene.. cuz guess what this is a GAME not a JOB.. should be fun ..thats the point right ?

in response to the dev..too lazy to quote

in many situations you can't even be sure if players abused the system or not....someone is just too slow or w/e and gm decides you abuse the system, awesome

Realistically I don't see how GMs will be able to do anything about the vote to kick. After all you have a majority in the group saying they don't want the kicked person there. GMs, in fact most support structures, have a hard time with vague determinations. I suspect they'll shrug and say that the kicked should requeue and hope for the best.

I just ran a group in Prae where I was using roulette. I am a tank with 86 ilvl. I have done Prae a million times. One player was unresponsive during the run, and was watching every cutscene for several minutes (not PS3 slow loading, I'm talking 5 mins each scene!). I believe this individual was leaching and just saying he was watching cutscenes. I tried to kick, but the party would not. I'm not trying to start a huge war between whether or not this individual should or should not be kicked BUT, I left the instance and gladly took my 30 min punishment. I may get reported, but It's not fair to me or the 7 others in the party that have to wait for some guy to sit there either A)leaching tomes or B) slowly reading each line of text.

There needs to be a way to keep these people seperate. Like an option when you que "Yes, I would like to watch all cutscenes" so a group of 8 can watch them together instead of one guy wasting others time. IMO this is a game issue and not a community one.

I am fine with cutscene watcher when i mainquest df roulette.
But spending more than 5 mins in a scene make me think you might be afk

Prae has the longest cutscenes of any dungeon. All together, something in excess of half an hour of them if I remember correctly. I believe you may have made an error in judgement.
