that is an easy fix if it turns out to be used for griefing purposes, BW just has to hide that so we don't see what others roll. YES it would be griefing to kick someone out of the group for not hitting spacebar if this was not stated beforehand so said person could leave before wasting his time.
If you don't enjoy a game, why troll it?

I personally don't have much time to play. So when I play I don't want to listen to NPC's talk and basically say "Go kill X and bring it back"

I'm just getting into the PvE scene, and every flash point group I enter I see things like, SPACEBAWABA, SPACEBAR!!!!, HIT THE SPACE.

So much time was put into the story, and it can be argued that the story is what sets SWTOR apart from all mmorpgs. The game was built around the "4th pillar" (story) of gaming. The change of pace was so refreshing the first week. I was able to slow down and really enjoy the immersion.

Space bar should be disabled in flash points for the sake of all players that come in the future. Let them experience the truly epic immersion I had my first couple weeks.
Flashpoints... aren't tied into the story for the most part, they are their own. And you can watch all of your cutscenes if you want, the other players will have to wait for you.

Usually now without a tool to regulate teams, people are inviteing for HM's and when they get to last boss they kick all other people in party and invite guildmates for the last kill and loot. (And the daily completion)

I definitely think everyone should listen to the NPC's stories at least once or twice but I agree that when you're doing the same story for the tenth time it gets a little old.

Part of that might be the voice acting, though. We had great voice acting in Mass Effect and Dragon Age but this game got really ambitious with the voice acting and I don't think all of it is great.

It's an expansion problem: Not all NFL teams have a great quarterback and if you tried to expand the league to 50 teams you'd start noticing that there weren't enough good players to go around for all the other positions, either.

The good news with TOR is that Bioware can re-record dialog if it wants to punch it up. It's probably expensive but I wouldn't stop doing it I was Bioware. Go listen to Emma Thompson's narration in Stranger Than Fiction and ask yourself if you wouldn't listen to her character's voice over every time you came across it.

Heck, Bioware could make it a contest: "These are the lines that need to be said for this situation. Send us your tape and if we decide to use your voice we'll give you a lifetime subscription." There is a LOT of untapped talent out there that will work cheap to be part of their favorite game.

Free publicity, a boost in fan interest and cheap labor...
All that's necessary for evil to triumph is for enough good men to go AFK.

After doing it once or twice, tell me, why would I want to watch it -again-?
