Should I expect griefers on a regular basis at end-game?

No thanks on the voting/reputation system. These same grievers will be voting everyone down for no reason, and rabbitzero made some good points as well.

I'd be happy with a vote-to-kick though, although people will abuse that too.

Good point like, although maybe if they incorporated a reputation system directly into the vote-to-kick feature that would work well. So if you get kicked by a vote you lose a reputation point. Maybe make upvotes-only optional at the end of a run, so if other guys thought you were really good they could upvote you individually as a little bonus. That would prevent griefers dropping your rep for their amusement but still affect them when they screwed up and ruined a party. Vote-to-kick is way harder for individual trolls to abuse because you need the agreement of the rest of your party

Yeah expect it. About 20% of the players are absolutely vile. That being said there are a lot of nice players out there, but I rarely see anyone standing up to these players or defending people who are being bullied/heavily criticized . I say we need more white knights.

Love the game, hate the players. (generally)

Maybe endgame players are too serious about gaming.

Remember when people used to play video games to relax and have fun?

I'd like to know when exactly some folks decided being an elitist jerk who speed runs everything and pretends to be flawless was "fun".

If that's your idea of fun, you've got the wrong idea..

"OMG WHY CANT U DO IT FLAWLESSLY EVERY TIME AND RUSH WHILE YOUR AT IT??"

Fun...

Was doing a Meridianum run earlier, and had a friendly Summoner in the party named Misatox Auralise (A FC Master on Diabolos) showing displeasure over the paladin watching cut scenes.

Now, if someone is impatient and chooses to use duty finder to play with random people, they basically lose their right to complain when they get grouped up with someone who hasn't gone through a dungeon yet. If they want to rush through everything, they should just stick with their own friends or look for people on their own server.

I'd very much like not to have jerks in the party, but with Duty Finder, I take my chances as well.

He is a perfect example of Hypocracy. Kind of like a "certain group" of people thats become trendy to support these days. Its fine to disagree with people and move on with your life and not crucify people because of how they think or feel.

Cut-scene crusaders piss me off beyond belief. The summoner was right, watch that stuff in the inn on your own time. Don't hold up the instance.

In fairness, you should never force your playing style on others. If some person is new to a dungeon like say, Brayflox, I let them watch cut scenes and teach them how to do bosses. It's just called general politeness. If SE wanted you to watch cut scenes at the inn, they wouldn't put them in dungeons then. Especially if the majority of the party could care less and you got one person complaining. The game's built around the story, not speed runs.

Look they only need to do it once so don't whine about it, there's nothing wrong with wanting to experience YOUR game in the correct plot order. People buy this game for the plot so they can experience the cutscenes for the first time when they're actually supposed to happen. Especially considering this is a game in it's first month of release it seems incredibly petty to have a go at people who want to play their first run as intended. And since it's in the first month, I shouldn't worry anyway, once the influx of new players dies down you'll have less people needing to do it. Also by that point most good players will probably be doing any serious runs with a free company.
