The group was able to keep moving along even if the newbie was a bit further back from the main boss. And more than likely the group was made up of i90+ wearing players, while the newbie, would be i55. So even if the newbie did skip, how effective would they be compared to the max gear people?
Sorry but when a group gets to end boss and boots CS viewers, it's not from disruption of group progress. It's ONLY to deny the new player the ability to finish their story quest. If anything that group is disrupting the newbies gameplay by preventing them from getting their quest done, thus unable to advance the story. It's griefing and your justification and white knighting the group that is griefing such players, only makes yourself look bad. And no, I wont play with griefers and nasty people. I have moral standards even if you do not.
Also, calling me a dictator... classy. And in case you don't get it, that's sarcasm. Democracy is all about if you don't like something, work towards changing it. In this case, some people don't like being bullied and griefed by elitists who are out to prevent them from finishing the main story, even if they aren't holding the group up at all. So people like myself offered suggestions to help minimize new player griefing. Maybe make all of CM's and Prae's cutscenes unskippable. If no one can skip the cutscenes at all in there, then no one will have a leg to stand on when it comes to a vote kick of newbies. That would solve all the problems right there. Keep the awards of myth the same, just make the cutscenes unskippable, and immune to the skip previously viewed cutscenes feature.
