Vote kick for story?

Anything other than Esseles/BT cutscenes can be sit through as they have max 1-2 minutes of cutscenes.
So why would anyone care? Because what will they do with that precious 1-2 minutes? Alt tabbing on fleet, yay.
Cutscenes are part of the content whether ppl like it or not. Demanding to skip content from other players is wrong.
Simple as that.
And before 4.0 you didn't have solo mode and players still got vote kicked from STORY FP groups because they wouldn't spacebar.

Tell them that you are new and would like to see it. We are alot of old school players out there that respects that.

this is an online multiplayer game. if 3 people want to kick a 4th they can do so FOR ANY REASON. there is a vote option for this very purpose.

if you'd rather not have interaction with other players in a co-operative fashion, perhaps a singleplayer game is more up your alley.

I just yell along too like it's not me who's not spacebarring. God guys! Who isn't spacebarring? Let's GO!

No it is not! Why should "I" care for one player, If I want to do more stuff and am totally bored by those cutscenes?

3 Minuts, now count them by 5 for each FP where somebody want to see the cuscenes and I got to critical mass. We don't hve to do this and having to be indulgent for each end every one is not what we are here for. Most of us did those dreat FP's for hundereds of times. We do them, because we have to in order to gain wat we want. We are mostly not doing them for real fun. So why are some poeple selfish? You do want to run through the content, it's fine by me, but why do I have to take it during my time? I simply don't. You have another option, we don't. So, why are you bothering us with your demands?

And you are wondering why so many people tend to kickvote others? Frankly this is simple democracy. 3 vs 1. The one is not indulgent about the decision he has to go. Hard but plain and simple.

It's attitudes like THIS that are one of the main reasons I refuse to do any content that requires a group. If I tell you at the beginning "I haven't done this and want to see the cut scenes.." telling me to sb is a quick way to get cussed out.

Thankfully BW gave y'all what you asked for..except the single player game isn't over there..... It's right here. Solo fp, heroics, even an OP....and of course KotFE. All designed for the solo player

i wouldnt tell you to spacebar, i'd ask you to space bar. if you don't want to, then one of the two of us are in the minority. let the majority of the group decide and i'll live with either decision. we were randomly paired together, we're not married. i can votekick or drop if i feel strongly enough about something.
so why aren't you in that mode then?

I take it you missed that part....

Read the rest of my post: for the most part I do not care either way - I will ABSOLUTELY NOT kick a player just because he/she decides to watch the cutscenes. But if someone asks for the group to spacebar, and two respond, "I am," then IMO it is rude for the fourth to make us wait.

Why do *I* run FPs? CONQUEST plain and simple...I want the personal goal reward for the crafting material. I would rather group with three strangers and do FPs for that personal goal than do dailies and/or heroics. Does that mean I have to accept players who do not think like I do? YES! Does that mean I HAVE to accept their style of play over my own? NO! If there are more in the group like me, I expect the minority to conform.

No but when the question is asked: "SB?" and two respond, "I am" and the third is mute...it's pretty obvious

I disagree with that assumption. Just as an example using level 60 token characters...they will not have those achievements, but their legacy might. I am leveling a "free 60" Shadow to eventually tank. My first character was a Guardian tank. I am intimately familiar with tanking. The specifics of shadow tanking may be different than guardian tanking, but that does not mean I do not know how to tank on my Shadow.

Or using an opposite faction character... I play mostly Pub side, I have played through every story on the Imp side, I want to run my operative through an FP, she's normally DPS but I do have healing gear. She does not have many achievements because I do not play her a lot. OTOH my pub side sawbones scoundrel was my main for more than a year, I ran and completed NiM Ops with him. If you encountered my operative and assumed I am no good at healing with that character you'd be wrong.

As someone else pointed out some players are running A LOT of FPs just for the conquest points. Add those 1-2 minutes per FP together and you could squeeze in another FP; or it's 1-2 minutes a DPS character can be in the queue. These are extreme examples, but there is logic to them.

OMG THIS ONE THOUSAND TIMES THIS!!!! The players who REALLY want a speedrun will leave, and those who do not really care will stay and watch with you.

Are all flashpoints have a solo mode now? I was under the impression that less than half of them have a solo mode. I found a list that show the solo modes I do run those solo. But the flashpoint that were not on that list I run with groups and I have been vote kicked a lot because I want to watch the stories because I have never seen them before.

So we're all flashpoints have a solo mode now?
