Why do new players receive death threats for enjoying the story?

Part 1:
I feel your pain. I reached the end of the game last night and had to do the two final dungeons. The first wasn't so bad, we did it in one go but there were a few who were just trying to rush through it as quickly as possible, meaning I couldn't explore and potentially find loot. So ultimately I didn't enjoy it. The Praetorium dungeon was a nightmare though. I had to do it twice in the end. The first time I naturally wanted to enjoy the cut scenes because I have spent a lot of time getting this far and enjoying the story. But heavens forbid I get to enjoy the game that I have spent quite a bit of money on. Instead they got incredibly annoyed at me and just left me on my own. This meant I got lost around the time that you are supposed to get your Magitek mount. They were all in this elevator waiting to go up, but because I didn't see where they went I didn't know how to get to them. So they just left me on my own and eventually vote kicked me. Cheers guys!

Part 2:
The second time I skipped the cut scenes which I had already seen which meant I could keep up with this group for a while longer. I got my mount this time and proceeded onwards until we reached the Nero fight. At which point they started the fight without me which locked me out of the arena. I never caught up with them. As soon as one cut scene finished another started. I didn't get to fight Nero, Van Balzaer, Ultima Weapon or Lahabrea. I got credit for finishing the mission and the main story, but I don't feel like I achieved anything as I wasn't involved in the fights. It genuinely has ruined it for me.

Sorry to hear that. People in general, Not just random people in the game, are @#$&ing spineless cowards that talk trash from behind the safety of internet. Take your time and watch CS's and tell people to go to @#&*ing blazes.

Bristol, I saw you are on Moogle! Like I said before I was accompanying a FC memeber to Praetorium last night and we found 3-4 people who stayed with us until the end and let him watch all the cutscenes. I'm sorry you had to go through that. We didn't even put up a PF because we figured nobody was interested.

If you ever want to do a dungeon and not skip a cutscene, /tell me, I'll be happy to party with you.

I will never understand the argument that watching the cut scenes as they were intended, in dungeon, is considered inconsiderate to the other players.

This.

To the people doing these dungeons for the firt time it may be a very important thing, the end of their road to 50 and an important milestone before starting endgame. I remember how nervous I was before these first 8 people dungeons and how epic it felt to see and experience the end of that story.

A while ago there was a new person who didn't get to take part in a single fight in Praetorium because of watching the cutscenes. Are people really in such a hurry they can't even let the new level 50s experience the final dungeons in their story?

I can say I have skipped every cut scene, story line or dungeon... Wanna know why? I don't care enough to read and see these characters make giggle noises. I get the jist of what's going on without having to sit through it, and there's No way I would ever think it's ok for me to slow anyone down. I feel bad when I screw up in dungeons, or if I'm new to one I announce it. Think of the other players, good lord. It's not about you!! I'm done with this thread, you guys are absurd.

Unfortunately your argument contradicts it's self. You are saying that all players who want to watch the cutscenes are wrong and all the players who don't are right.
You are saying that I am disrespectful because I don't play the game the same way you do, but you're doing exactly what you're accusing me of doing.
This is how wars start. You need to realize that neither of us is right or wrong, we just like different things and games should be suited for all of us.

In my opinion PF should be used for speed runs and DF should be used for learning a dungeon's/fight's mechanics and for enjoying the story on your first playthrough. It makes more sense that way to me in order to ensure every single person is on the same page with speed running especially when the storyline quests encourage you to use DF not PF.

Sorry you had a negative experience OP.

Yes exactly! I whole heartedly believe this too.
Thank you for not being a jerk.

They put those cutscenes in there for people to watch them so I have every right to. People put a lot of time and effort on writing, animating and voicing those cutscenes so I have every right to watch them.
The issue remains in Square Enix needing to find a solution to make both sides of the argument happy.

Step 1: level a tank.
Step 2: hop in DF for the final two missions.
Step 3: if a newbie insists on watching cutscenes, watch it with them.
Step 4: bathe in delicious tears of the raging DPS.

[Ravno]

There is a simple fix : On duty, make people unable to skip the cutscene until all party member did not click on skip.
This way, they can rage all they want, they can't know witch one is watching cutscene.

[Urthdigger]

I like that. I recall Guild Wars doing that.
