This needs to be stopped, and immediately.

These story dungeons don't need full geoups to do the content anymore. I don't mind of one or two people watch the cutscenes we just carry on the dungeon without them its not a big deal.

Whiners gonna whine.

You don't understand, these people want to watch the cutscenes, plus experience all the fights, they don't want to make their own party through party finder set up for this because it can take to long to get a full group, so they use the duty finder and expect 7 others to do what they want, because their time and opinion is more important than everybody elses.

I am a paying customer and I will not be forced to skip my paying content period.

Hey, so are the other 7 people in the group. I love it when people pull this card.

The fact is we are all paying customers, people will want to watch the cutscenes in CM/PRAE and people will want to speedrun. Then the speedrunners flip out at the cutscene watchers but you decided to join the main scenario roulette. You took the risk of dealing with new players who will want to watch their cutscenes. 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.

There's a difference between speedrunning and waiting 20 minutes because someone is watching a cutscene.

You are right Gallus, there is a difference , it is called slow running eh?

Dev. should simply stop all by playing when someone is watching the cutscene, and game starts again when all have seen it, with children you have to treat them like children if they cant be considerate you teach them consideration by forcing them to ..wait...or they are free to leave of course. Everybody wants the other to do what they want them to do. Nthing forbids a group to continue and not wait for those that are watching the cutscenes, why you say they slow you down, they dont..you are making it sound so that they are the culprits when in fact you can continue runing it without them....you want the butter, the cow, the milk and the cow girl...cant have all you know.

No I don't want anything, in fact I don't care, because I haven't run a main scenario quest in months. Just giving my opinion.

ah and your opinion is based on what ?...let me guess your experience and behaviour right ? so whether you have run it long ago or never is irrilevant.

This wouldnt be a problem if every single ban was publicly announced. If there were information like "Player XXX YYY was punished with 1 month ban for forcing players to skip cutscenes" publicly avaible, every first timer harrasment in DF would IMMEDIATELY stop. I remember OGame doing it correctly.

[Elway358]

If you wanna drag ass and watch the cutscenes, be prepared to miss pretty much every fight. You can't have it both ways. The duty finder isn't about YOU.

Sounds like you deserved to be kicked if you "ignored" them as you yourself admit when asked to skip cutscenes. I suspect a simple reply stating that you wanted to watch them and to go ahead without you would have been plenty to keep you from being kicked. But that's not what you wanted. You expected the entire party to cater to your specific wants in the DUTY FINDER.

I wouldn't have voted to kick you, I would have initiated the vote...
