This needs to be stopped, and immediately.

You aren't contributing to the clearing of the instance if you're afk watching cutscenes. One or two people do that you're directly hampering the other player's progression through the zone and depending on your class that could classify as harassment. So, yeah, you'd most likely be kicked in most parties I've seen in Story Roulette.

Surely I read this wrong. If someone told you that watching cutscenes in an instance, as the instance was intended, is considered harassment then they have most assuredly steered you wrong and are setting you up for failure when a GM investigates the reason for the votekick. :-\

Does someone really need to post that SE quote again? The one where it says kicking someone for watching cutscenes is okay with them?

I would certainly appreciate that source, yea.

It's a really double edged sword. I can feel the pain on both sides really. I think you should be allowed to enter the fight at any time after it's started if it's your first time joining the dungeon. That being said, it probably won't happen. I typically go with the skip it and catch it later. Grab a beer and get comfortable after the dungeon. Kind of sucks, but nothing's perfect. Sitting and waiting for people would suck more I think when you have to do this 100 times.

A such as I disagree with it, it's on Page 2 or 3, the do say it.

Which is why I, as a healer, take it into my own hands when capable. (see my last Page post)

I attribute this exact topic to be why FF14 is considered to have one of the most toxic communities in the industry. It's practically legendary how badly the community is viewed in other AAA titles.

Its merely individuals who are toxic. Like you and I. Takes one to know one, I suppose.

True, but individuals like you and I are giving this game a bad name.

Plus, I keep my toxicity to forums. I at least let new players enjoy the game the way it was intended to be enjoyed. I'm not in so much of a hurry that I would votekick some guy because he cost me an extra 2-3 minutes in the dungeon by watching cutscenes. That's just silly.

They should not put any more story line duties in the daily roulette. Or They should not add any CS's to the Storyline fights/duties sinse they will be skipped anyways out of people being pressured by selfish elites.

Oh the irony.

Well, a couple things here. Most of the people in this topic actually don't votekick if someone is watching cutscenes, they are merely arguing that those who wish to run ahead ALSO have the right to do so as someone watches cutscenes... Also, Praetorium isn't 'just' 2-3 minutes, multiply that by 10. Not counting the stuff after the final boss.
