Addon request: Identify players wasting my time by not hitting spacebar

This is a plea to addon authors. When this game enables support for addons, someone please make one that identifies players who fail by not skipping group conversations with spacebar. This way I can quickly boot them from my group and try to find more efficient players to group with. When I spam my LFM, I already add "no cutscenes" but people still refuse to hit the spacebar sometimes.

Edit: I think, for now, this issue has been resolved for me thanks to a helpful post by Zannis. I will be now be able to easily determine which player is being uncooperative and remove them.

Thank you for this helpful info. I had no idea you could determine this from the group portraits. My groups should run a lot smoother now that I can replace players who don't follow my politely stated rules.

Maybe they want to enjoy the story?
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

As annoying as it is, they'll never add it.

Sorry, but this is a MMO. It's not storytime. If you want storytime do it during solo play.

I gotta say, kinda surprised it took this long for this to come up. I figured the grinders would already be complaining that people weren't trying to grind dungeons ASAP about 2 weeks in.

It is an MMO, therefore you have to deal with different playing styles than just yourself. If you want to skip everything, play solo.

Sorry, but this is story driven MMO. If you can't handle that, go play another game.
