You SERIOUSLY believe that Bioware intended people to have to sit through five minutes of cutscenes everytime they want to grind Black Talon? Then why, if that's what Bioware intended, did they even put the space bar in?

This is trolling, plain and simple. The OP said when he was putting up his LFG message he said "no cutscenes". If you join his group , and demand that people watch the cutscenes, knowing full well they are looking for people who aren't, then it's you forcing someone to bend to your will.

There is no point reading anything you type.
I did read what the OP said thank you very much. My response was to someone else's quote relating to the OP, but I guess your reading comprehension has failed you there.

Obviously Bioware doesn't intend for people to watch the cutscenes 10 times, but they do expect you to watch it the first time at least. And that's what I'm talking about, the players who are running it for the first time. Not everybody doing Flashpoints has already done them 10 times, sometimes it's their first and they should be able to watch cutscenes if they want to.

If you had seen my second reply to this thread you would notice that my problem isn't with people wanting to skip cutscenes. My problem is with people who want to kick people who want to watch them out of groups or insult them for wanting to see a story. Which is why I think the addon that the OP suggested is a very bad idea. I do however support the idea of allowing the group leader to set a "skip cutscenes" option. As long as the leader makes this clear in the beginning of the group then it's the only way to make everyone happy.

Don't call someone a troll just because you don't like their answers. You're not making yourself much better than the trolls by doing that.

Something tells me this is not the game for you if you can make an asinine statement like that when the common knowledge is that the story is what is important here.

Only reason to skip them is if you are farming the flashpoints and Heroics.

Doing Hard Modes, when you know players have seen the cutscenes before, there's just no excuse for you to watch them again.
The thing is you DON'T know that they have watched the content before. They may have done it with their Jedi, but now their Smuggler is doing it and the responses during conversation are entirely different.

You really have no understanding of what others may find enjoyable. I have now written you off as a sad and pathetic little person. Carry on.

Or you could not join his group. His ad clearly says, "NO CUTSCENES".

Why would you join his group?
* Illegitimate casual gamer scum
* Those who can, do...those who can't, call everyone else baddies and demand crutches

Good point, let his type of player group together and leave it at that.

I like this game. I detest the forum community. No room whatsoever for dissent of any kind.

If these people want to watch the cutscenes, why are they joining a group where the ad clearly says, "NO CUTSCENES"?

he says he states "no cutscenes". how difficult is it to comprehend? it's about as bad as grouping with someone who accepts the healer slot, but wants to try and dps instead.
Oh people comprehend. They just choose to troll. Granted, he kind of opened himself up to this with an arguably tactless few posts to start, but in the end people don't care.

Can we please get back on topic people; in case some of you ARE smarter than I give you credit, the purpose of this discussion is having the ability to play the way you want to play.

This. ^

It is every person's right to watch the cutscenes because that's the way BioWare designed it. I highly doubt that information will be available through the mod API and if BioWare does expose this information I would be upset because it would enable jerks like you to do exactly what you said: kick people for trying to enjoy the story. There would eventually be players that join later and would never get to see the story because of people like you.

And now, just to spite the people like you, I will NEVER press space bar.

When I spam my LFM, I already add "no cutscenes" but people still refuse to hit the spacebar sometimes.
I'm sorry you have a very low attention span which would entail that you not wanting to watch a cutscene should be the prerequisite for you kicking someone out of your group. Even if that person in the group will more than likely be playing that flashpoint for the first time or maybe second time and they may be enjoying a story.

Maybe you should go to Facebook and play Farmville instead.
