Space bar was a mistake.

I'dve been pissed if spacebar skipping wasn't around, I don't like sitting there waiting for some npc to be a quarter to halfway through his sentence when I've already finished reading it.

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.
Sure its cool the 1st and maybe the 2nd time , but do you really want to see the same cut scene a thousand times ???!

Once LFG finder is put into place there wont be anything stopping people from booting a new player just because he doesnt spacebar the instance.

I hope Biowares considered it.

You can use spacebar sparingly even though it is available in the same way you don't try to eat every piece of food in your refrigerator all at once, simply because it's there.

When you re-roll new characters and hit those same missions, I sometimes watch the cutscenes and I will sometimes spacebar through them since I already know the story.

If you're in a group that is demanding you hit the spacebar, give them a piece of your mind and leave the group, and find a better one.

Any group that demands people hit spacebar are impatient and most likely not much fun to run with anyway.

If you're in a Flash Point with me, I never ask you or anyone else to skip scenes, regardless how many times I've seen them. It's rude.

Jesus Christ, this. Such bad, bad, TERRIBLE animation. It's worse than Dragon Age. It's beyond me why noone in that company has an eye for that sort of thing.

Anyways, OP, it's probably because they've seen the cut scenes a billion times.

The hell is the matter with you? They're completely allowed to enjoy the immersion, and noone's not "letting" them, as you put it. Space bar is optional, and if you want, you can hold the whole group up by watching.

Sorry OP, but after your 3-4th time doing an FP, you really dont want to watch it all again.

Same here, if Ive seen FP before, I spacebar thru, if everyone else does too, were golden, if not, then I'm ready once theyve finished. In the meantime I pour a drink or talk on vent.
