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

Thing to do in a situation like that is to put up with it with a modicum of grace while it's happening, some maturity after it has happend and, of course, to protect yourself with appriate boundaries after it happens. I do this by putting the offender on an ignore list and otherwise find like-minded gamers.

I don't go to the boards to cry everytime someone offends me, in game, with the way they play the game...

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.

do you think sitting through something you've seen many times over has anything to do with intelligence? or no wanting to sit through at all makes you an idiot?

And think of how many groups there will be, when this game has been out for a couple of months, that'll say "No cutscenes! Will boot you if you want to watch a story!"

I dunno about the majority, but I wanted to play this game for the story. So, I will watch and rewatch the story in a dungeon 5,000 times if need be. Esseles never gets old for me.

And as for the no cutscene people? Don't pug it! Get a guild to do it for your own specifications, because I will not obey you in a pug.

You are part of a group, it is not YOUR group, slavery was banned in the world long time ago. Regardless how many times you state it in the LFM you need to negotiate and reach an agreement.
If I can suggest you something, before STARTING the flash point, POLITELY request the people if would they kindly (no pun intended) use the space bar to skip the group conversations. If one of the members of the team don't agree, just leave the group and continue wasting your time spamming LFM until you find enough people that supposedly would agree on that (still it wouldn't guarantee that someone would not lie to you and will still not use the space bar). Possibly it would take you way more time finding a group of like minded people agreeing (and complying) in that request than dealing with the supposed "delay" that enjoying the whole flashpoint experience, with group conversations and everything would take. And do you know something? There is NOTHING that you can do to prevent that.

The bonus is you get more character progression in less time.

While I can agree with you, that this is one way to handle it - but what is more efficient?

Having a right click on the group leader to toggle content on/off or taking the steps you have outlined?

I don't think he is crying at all - I think he is asking for a legitimate feature.

Mark my words, if nothing is done about this in the future you will see this being used to grief people. Soon no one will want to sit through the VO's in Flashpoints and there will be that guy... you know the ones. He will refuse to hit space just to drive people up a wall.

Sure you can boot him, but now you are back to looking for more...
