Request: Please add Alliance Raid unskippable cutscenes

[Ghastly]

This is a plea to square enix to please add forced cutscenes in alliance raids. In almost every alliance raid these days people are pulling the last boss leaving new people out of the fight. A lot of these new people even skip the cutscenes and still get locked out because they don't load fast enough or don' t have sprint ready.There's nothing worse than being new to a raid and missing that last important fight, it's not worth it at that point.

If anyone is in support please support and like the request. If not then give us anew solution, be cordial.

Pulling before everyone is ready? Sounds like I won't have to do a thing and win yes please.

Unskippable cutscenes are not a valid solution and definitely shouldn't be the go-to. Abolish that approach. It'll make people not run this roulette like they don't run MSQ roulette (it's not dead but you can't deny numbers have dropped either) and then what's even the point? And that's before having to put up with it in content you're already supposed to farm. Granted it's not as bad as MSQ but this is literally the slippery slope I was afraid of when they introduced that to the Castrums.
I will concede that almost every other solution can be abused (only unlock boss room if all 24 people are there or what not), but two wrongs don't make a right. And given that the problem is loading times I'm not even sure how much something like this would really help.

Alternative solution: in case that scene has text boxes, have those be auto progressing. Start the 30 second lockdown timer once the last person is out of cutscene in case the boss was already engaged (effectively extending the lockout period which they already did)

They should add a thing: "Nobody can enter the boss arena while someone is watching the cutscene". BOOOM. Simple and fair.

I wouldn't really call that fair when there's an option within the System Configuration menus that literally allows me to skip cutscenes that I've already watched automatically for the sole purpose that I don't have to suffer through them each and every time I walk into a duty. And that option has been there since the birth of the game itself.

People should just politely ask, see if the Alliance agrees or minds, and who knows...sometimes actually communicating nets you your request. I've seen people ask and others oblige to wait. Now, sometimes you do get that one jerk, but nobody can fix that, only Darwin can.

Eh, I'd give it a B-.

Why would you assume that? I for one think SE should implement a mandatory viewing of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within before each final alliance raid boss to ensure everyone gets there on time. Plus it's such an entertaining film who wouldn't want to see it again and again?

OP me and you are on the same wavelength.
