You cannot expect every CM/PRAE to be a speed run, it's not fair to the new players and we really shouldn't treat them like crap because they are enjoying the storyline.
Well I was called a casual in one story-driven place because I said something "Stop the Garleans!" and he replied "Stop the casuals" but I never felt the need to prove how hardcore I am (4-5 years in Aion ect). If I knew speedruns were expected, were the norm or default, have some form of indication like "Hard Mode" ect then I would expect that. If I was playing an MMO and I knew it was too old, I would always ask my legion to help me out or other random people would do that. I just didn't expect that I was expected to skip the cut-scenes as a first timer in the story mode. And far too many have I encountered people wanting to see the cut-scenes in every MMO and the same thing happened; everyone agreed.

It is a shame because from my experience with MMOs and it is not small mind you (shit-ton I have played) FFXIV right now in the West has got the best main story let alone the best story implemented.
