It's unfortunate that people feel the need for the group finder tool to be the arbiter of mediating every potential playstyle conflict when just a modicum of social graces would have resolved it.

Why do I feel like the people who are screaming and impatient with watching cut scenes are the same people screaming and honking their horn because, god forbid, you're driving the speed limit! gasp

If they haven't done the story mode yet, they are probably insufficiently geared for the hard mode. Therefore they should probably queue for the story mode. Then they can watch the story during the story mode. Wow, problem solved! How hard is it to put up with 5 to 10 extra minutes once in a while? It's not 5-10 extra minutes once in a while. In Taral V it's the difference between a run lasting 15 minutes or over an hour. In Esseles it's about double the time. Personally I do not watch them more than once. I don't watch movies more than once except for rare ones, do not read books twice, but I know many many many people that do. The same with cut scenes...some enjoy them....every time they see them...is it so off putting to have to watch them once in while again? I do not see the whole need to quit over this. Someone being a loot whore....sure. Someone manically pulling every mob in the zone...sure. Someone just being a plain immature tard....sure. But having to watch cut scenes? Take a piss, sip your beverage of choice....but to quit seems like the kid who takes his ball home when people do not want to play by his rules. Like I said, I have better things to do with my limited game time than to watch the same cut-scenes over and over and over again. I would rather vote kick someone and get a replacement. Failing that, I would rather drop group and go do something else. I do not have infinite time to play the game. I have a job that's somewhat more than full-time. I have a beautiful wife who for some strange reason still likes to spend time with me. I have an amazing daughter who's rarely home any more (all growed up) so when she is, I spend time with her. I have better things to do ingame when I have the time to play too... better than watching repeats of cut-scenes that were "ok" (not stellar) the first time through... for the Nth time. I have yet to see anyone give a coherent reason for watching the same cut-scenes a dozen times, other than to grief others by forcing them to wait longer in flash points.

Eh, as I said everyone has a right to play the want...but they do not have a right to act childish and name call and grief. You do not appear to be in the latter category. Personally, I don't see the big deal but I am not at the point to feel the need to grind on HM FP's as of yet. But back to the title of the thread, people in general need to learn politeness gets you so much more in life....something about this current generation has lost that and I partly blame my generation (the parents) for not instilling it in their children as it was beaten in to us.

I'm the one who will ask 'can we spacebar please' if someone says they haven't done it before I will drop it not their fault they couldn't get a group at lower levels to see it in storymode. I do however think the people who have seen it 25 times and refuse to spacebar are the other side of the coin. I think they are being discourteous to their group if everyone else wants to skip. Is it really important see the same dialouge for the 26th time.

Demanding or forcing someone to get them to do what you want: Rude, inconsiderate, most likely will get the person to do the exact oppposite and makes them defensive Requesting or asking politely: More times than not they will understand and may consider your request. Now you have to chose which one you want to do.

Here's one, I enjoy the story and sometimes like to watch it again. Also, you are aware that you can be more than geared for the HM flashpoints without ever stepping into a story mode right?
