Anyone else used Scenario skip on their first character?

People who have thousands of hours don't even know fights. A lot of "mentors" are worse than sprouts. So I don't put much stock in players who did the story "knowing fights". If only players who use a story skip were the biggest issue when it comes to bad play. If we are talking about story context, the context of what you are fighting, I simply think a lot of people don't care. If a player is willing to initially use a story skip they probably lean that way, for that matter.

I have something like 16000 hours in this game on one character, and can pretty much remember every fight in the game (probably because i did them all on release, and over and over for relic grinds and farms.)

Its all about mindset. I enjoy the story quite a bit. I also want to be good at the game. I also raid. None of these things are mutually exclusive, despite you seeming to think they are.
