My first bad experience with another player. :o

Vidu,

I do understand where you are coming from. But as I mentioned, the rest of the party had already said (when I first mentioned we were watching scenes) that they could handle it.

We were not asking them to wait for us at all. But neither should our gameplay experience be ruined from some arse that wants to call us "rude".

If they are playing the dungeon for loot or for any other reason that they want to go quickly, then they can use the Party Finder. If they got in there because of Roulette, then I guess it should be taken out of Roulette. That would be a simple solution from SE's side.

There's no excuse for that kind of crap, though--calling people "rude" for playing the game how it was intended.

If they take it out of the roulette, no one is going to do those dungeons. You'll be stuck in the queue forever and with that, you wont be able to finish the 2.0-storyline (until you grab some friends and go unsyched - or syched, doesnt matter in the end). I know its a tempeting solution to say "well, lets just remove everyone who doesnt want to run those dungeons properly!" - but with that you're removing 95% of the people currently doing those dungeons with the other 5%.

The problem with the "playing how it was intended" is though: the way it was intended is for 8 people to watch 45 minutes of cutscenes - great for the first time, okay the second... aweful on your 10th run. 45 minutes isnt a small portion of time, specially not when you compare it to the 15 minutes that dungeon actually takes - again: its bad design and SE learned from it. Not all intentions are good - and this clearly wasnt thought through at all.

Of course, if the rest of the party agreed and only one person had to be a bit of a jerk in the end, that sucks and I dont want to defend that - but even if those cutscenes are intended, its still a lot to ask of a bunch of strangers to wait for those.
Again: Not your fault. But I cant really blame those people either. If you've got only 2 hours of playtime each day and you spend half of the time waiting for someone to finish a cutscene... thats not fun.

And not wanting to be rude here either, but: If you feel your experience is ruined by someone calling you "rude" when they felt they've just carried you through the dungeon (what they did, objectivly speaking - more or less by their choice, but when you were watching cutscenes instead of fighting you were pretty much dead meat - all unfortunate and not your intention to "leech" but again: two sides here), you should invest in a thicker skin here.
