This sums it up perfectly.

This game is about the story as much as it is about the gameplay. Games like WOW have created environments where things like loot or a fast run trump the actual experience of the game. If anything, we need more story - and much more during expansions. It's what makes the game a different experience from the other MMOs currently out there and is what will keep people playing.

So if an addon like this gets implemented, you see that Bob isn't skipping the scenes and you kick him. Instead of putting up with Bob and watching the cutscenes for a couple of minutes you would rather spend 20mins trying to find somebody to replace him that will skip the cutscenes?
Interesting logic, but knock yourself out if that's what makes you happy.

If he says no cutscenes when forming the group and you watch the cutscenes you're in the wrong and being completely inconsiderate. End of story.

Holy ... wow ... almost speechless. If you are in that much of a hurry, you may want to find a new hobby. Like racing. Why don't you just start up a guild of like minded people, that also don't care about the story. You could call it

<spacebar>
or
<teenagers>

I mostly only group with my guild, but we do find one more that we're missing here and there. If someone demanded that we skipped the story, we would probably have some fun with them in vent, but then make sure to add them to ignore to avoid this in the future. Maybe that's your answer. When you find players that want to enjoy the story, just /ignore them and eventually you'll weed us out of your game.

Geez I totally disagree with that. To me, the game isn't about story, it's about maximizing my toon in the shortest time as possible. You can't dictate what the game means to me. I've almost got 136 level items in all my slots and watching movies while I'm supposed to be playing is making me less efficient. Doing Hard Modes, when you know players have seen the cutscenes before, there's just no excuse for you to watch them again.

The only sad thing is Bioware took geniuses like this guy seriously enough to strip all heroic areas and flashpoints of story content. The game already skipped the cutscenes for you. It's a major missed opportunity.

The story stuff is phenomenally fun on the Black Talon.

If ive never been through the instance before, I'm going to watch the cut scenes. Lol good luck OP, this isn't cross server groups, you'll see these people around and you'll be remembered. Go ahead and make a name for yourself.

*edit for reading comprehension failure. If you state no cut scenes in your lfg chat then there's no issue. My apologies.

I agree, and i believe the majority of the posters that are insulting him never read the post

at first i was going to disagree, but since you state "no cutscenes" i find it pretty rude that someone would not follow the request after accepting to group.
