This needs to be stopped, and immediately.

OP, I will say one simple statement, report the elitist players for their violation....then enjoy the knowledge that they will eithier be suspended for a period of time hence they lose RL money for their stupity, or if they do it enough they will get banned and lose over 8 months of work they put into the game and lose more money on top of that if they prepaid the game......that's all you gotta do!

Which if the knowledge that those actions were taken gets out will drive other players away, make some not queue for mainstory, drive up queue times, make new players think the population is low because of insanely long queue times, and be extremely harmful to the game. Great plan. Remember that every action will have many unintended consequences. This plan has enough negative consequences to drive the game f2p.

Great logic and thought process.

I would rather wait in que for a hour to help other players learn the game with positive people than spend 1 min in que with elitist jerks who think they are something special because of some video game when clearly they are not......

I am entering The Praetorium for the first time and I am starting to watch my cutscenes. One person states "Please do not watch the cutscenes". I ignore him. Then towards the end I get kicked out because I am still watching my cutscenes. I am a paying customer and I will not be forced to skip my paying content period.

Hmmm...

I posted the same thing a few days ago, but instead of support, I get snarky comments and attacks. Instead of 70 likes I got 17. I guess I need to be less constructive and use more caps and bold lettering next time I bring an issue up.

OP, as many have said, just report the party for kicking you for unfair reasons.

I can't even believe people are defending him being kicked. Okay so your time is so precious you can't wait 10 minutes in total for someone to watch cutscenes? Really? Just because you have the hours to log and you've run it 100+ times, your time is so incredibly valuable? Because I'm pretty sure it's not worth jack squat in the big scheme of things, and if your digital accomplishments have given you that much ego, you need to evaluate yourself.

If you're honestly just that impatient, then don't run the story dungeons and get your rewards from the daily story roulette by doing extra Brayflox speed runs or treasure maps.

Buff, you have got to remember that most players on FF14 are elitist coming from other games that went too casual for them since they want to feel better than other people which clearly they are not. If you state one thing they goes against their believe that they are a better player than you because of their elitist attitude with any form of feedback, you will most likely get trolled because these same players feel good about trying to lower your positive attitude to their negative one.

LadyVal, you again have to remember that most of these players defending the kick are elitist and they only care about themselves and not the whole gaming community.....

You throw around the word elitist too much.

You need to have a time out.

I find it funny that rather than accepting the pf solution, some of the op's supporters have resorted to namecalling.

Conditional restrictions for entry (apart from ilv) have no place in DF/roulette. Demand or no, people will do what they want in DF because it is allowed, and for this I am grateful. You ought to be too.

Oh my god can people actually read the thread they're replying to and stop posting nonsense? It's been pointed out several times that GMs do not punish people at all with an actual quote from a GM saying that they do not mediate player disputes. You are in fairy land if you think GMs are anywhere near as harsh as vindictive people wish they were.

[OPneedNerfs]

Please do this to another player so SE can ban you for exploiting the VK system...please since FF14 needs less players like you in it!!!!!

Calling that bluff right there with a quote from before

Thank you for contacting FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn In-game support.

We understand the impact that is caused after being removed from a duty finder group. However, please be aware that the Game Masters will be unable to take action if a group member has been removed due to a player dispute, or if the game style differs (I.e. skipping in-game cutscenes, disagreement on using specific boss encounter tactics, equipment deemed not high enough, etc.),

To prevent such incidents from occurring we advise to speak with the group when joining a new group to discuss any specifics that need to be addressed.
