Pulling During Cutscene

[MiaShino]

It's always an impatient vet.

The number of times this is most true is umm, staggering.

What should happen when inspecting party members; "Ohhh, this player has most jobs at level 80. They will know what they are doing and might even help me! They went through the story too so they will want me to enjoy it like they have! Yay!"

What actually occurs when inspecting party members now; "Ugh.. another player with mostly level 80 jobs. This is going to be a long slog of run and I should be prepared. They are probably going to be rude too especially if I dare give advice."

90 percent of the time we are correct.. It is pleasant surprise when we are not.

More story time! My partners pops and their partner were doing their Toto run. The tank was not aoeing, getting lost, running into walls and sometimes not even attacking. Right clicking them reveals, dun dun dun six jobs at level 80 and a bunch at 70 ish. They also engaged the final boss without waiting..

Two other family members queue into Sastasha Hard with a sprout tank, only Warrior leveled to 50 and nothing else. This little lala proceeds to wall pull the entire dungeon and it was one of their fastest runs yet.. especially with dual mechanist aoe spam. This player waited too if anyone fell behind for any reason.

The run tends to go faster if half of the party is not feisty so if they truly wish to "not have time wasted" perhaps they should be playing better no? Maybe not botch up the Atmos fight so we wipe? Bueller?

Haha yeah, last time I was doing the 3rd Nier Raid I started the fight with a countdown but I had the wrong chat open so didn't see people saying we had newcomers, I'm just too used to looking at my own party before pulling. Anyway, I felt bad but I already pulled can't do anything about it anymore, so I noticed I wasn't getting healed and one of my healers was constantly hugging the floor. I managed to MT it as a DRK till 5% before I finally died and here comes mister Toxic (yup that's part of his name, not all too shocking) using the brooming emote on my corpse, actively griefing me instead of talking to me.

Easiest report of my life.

It's called common decency. I would imagine your parents once taught you about it. There is nothing inherently wrong with pulling while someone else is in a cutscene, I don't mind personally, it'll just make me go 'okie dokie, if you don't need my help, fine by me'. It's all about manners, good form.

Not being condescending is common decency, too, yet here you are. If you guys wanna keep villainizing me over something I don't do to make yourselves feel better, you can have this thread to parade around in. So enjoy your echo chamber. You're all too busy arguing with Strawman's to have an actual discussion.

Checking the game after a 4~5 years break, it's nice to see the community changed a lot. I remember back then some people would actively pressure new players to skip cutscenes and watch later in the inn just to save 20~30 seconds but then again you couldn't teleport to the boss room if you got locked out.

I guess making Prae and Castrum unskippable also had some effects.

That would require 2 paid subscriptions to do that. And if it was same account, you’d only see one name. Good stretch though

Offtopic but you can post during the free login campaign (which i'm currently doing), not accusing or anything just saying it's possible.

Yeah most people just leave if they didn't queue for it(mentor roulette). Though it is an easy way to grind tomes for old relics now.
