This needs to be stopped, and immediately.

I'd be all for a system like this, maybe it would teach some people patience.. albeit that's a snowballs long shot in hell.

Good luck, you won't have people in queue then. I'm going to run Praetorium tonight for the first time. I will be happily skipping all the cutscenes and then watching them in the inn, because I like not having hours long queues. If any of you first time must watch cs people get your way you will have 6 hour + waits for the dungeons. At that point there is not a new player in their right mind that will continue with the game.

To people who do CM for the daily bonus:

Wouldn't it be faster to just do a few Brayflox Hard runs than do CM or Pra which is super long?

You have to get 1500 myth for each book. And then 800 x 37+ to get alexandrites. I know there are people that can do that over and over, but I cannot. After about 10, I need a break. I like variety. Plus while I was waiting for a main scenario DF, I got 2 alexandrites doing FATES. So actually, that was the fastest 1600 myth ever for me.

I understand how you feel people should not be forced to skip scenes. I personally think it's better waching them in the inn though, in peace where you can take your time.

Yes. I speedrun Brayflox for hours and hours and hours. When I need a break but still want to make a little bit of Myth I'll sometimes "play" the roulette. I don't do the Main Scenario one every day though.

May I suggest a simple compromise to better the system?

Only those who have not completed Castrum or Praetorium ever will have vote kick immunity. So they can watch cutscenes and stumble along fights in peace. The other 7 can do whatever they want (aim for world speed record or wait for them).

I believe chances of meeting 2 new players of a crucial class (tanks and healers) who can't pull their weight or trolling in a single group is slim nowadays as this game is heading for its one-year birthday. I'm also quite sure an ilvl90+ duo of a healer plus something can down these 2 dungeons.

I still remember my first Praetorium. Through Duty Finder against Ultima Weapon part 1, 5 minutes into the fight with nobody dead and we were still in garuda phase, both healers' and bard's MP were 2 digits and most of us thought we're done, just die off then leave to gear up or something. Then Haedaelyn showed up and we're like 'Yeah, we actually have a shot at this. Let's do it!' Shame that new players will never experience this. If only SE has the balls to make Praetorium and maybe Castrum ilvl45 sync, skills normal.

You can watch all your cutscenes again in your Inn room.

1/10 Lamest argument ever.

Hey, guess what you can watch people play this game on Twitch so just cancel your account, goto twitch.com and you'll be all set. There, I just saved you $15/mo.

They probably hate grouping up with you as much as you with them. SE should implement cutscene queues so the two groups do not step on each other's toes.

Something must give. It's unfair to demand players to skip cs and it's equally unfair for new players to expect everyone else to wait for their CS.

You need to understand that many people are doing The Praetorium as part of their dailies. They have already seen the cutscenes and want to get through the encounter. None of these people want to wait 10 minutes for you to watch cutscenes.

The problem isn't with players, it's with the developers. The penultimate storyline cutscenes shouldn't be taking place in the dungeons.

Right now you are mad about people skipping cutscenes. You won't be when the tables are reversed, and you are running that dungeon for the 100th time and some guy is holding the entire raid up to watch an airship fall out of the sky, or watch the MagiTek armour do its R2D2 impression.

Dont be a w... whale

He paid for the game as you and HE got the same right as EVERYONE to enjoy it.

You need to understand that there's new people always playing the game.

Duty roulette is not your personal speedrun.

Also it isnt developers fault, its fault because of people like you.

...
When you let fate decide your type of group you either accept the randomization or you don't. In random groups you can get good players, bad players, impolite and impatient players. You get all walks of life because that is randomization; everything is a chance. If you want to do something such as a speed run or whatever run you feel like it like EXP run(s) then obviously make your own group with your own conditions.

If you understand what you said above, I don't undersatnd why you had make this post. ^^;

And this is based on what? Your opinion?

As long as SE dangles a currency at the end of the line that can yield gear improvements, I HIGHLY doubt what you claim will actually happen. For you it might be true, certainly not everyone like you think.
