If they join a group that says no cutscenes and they want to watch them then they should get what's coming to them.

But again, that's not my issue with the addon idea. Unfortunately a large amount of the MMO community isn't too bright, fair, or kind. You know if they implement an addon like this there will be groups who didn't specify "no cutscenes" who will end up yelling at someone because they're watching them, and that's not right.

Let the people who want to skip cutscenese group together and we all go on our own happy ways.
I agree.

I do think this game is not what he is looking for if he wants to skip the cutscenes the first time through but if you have done the content a few times and you want to do the flashpoints without watching the scenes, more power to ya.

But yeah, in general. The guys is advertising "no cutscenes". Let him try to find a group that shares what he is looking for. No reason to give the guy hell.

I have plenty of long time friends I game with - sometimes you can't always run instances with them and you need to pug someone in. I would like to make sure the person we add isn't there for the first time wanting to listen to all the VO's. Worse than that someone that would do it just to aggravate us... only to boot him and wait longer to find a replacement.
It really does not need any add-on to do things for you. You can ASK (Speaking to another player by means of pressing enter and typing a question about cutscene skipping) and not join with them if they are patient normal people who know that there really is no hurry to anywhere. Rush is a thing that end up stressing you to exhaustion in the end.

Usually people can skip these if someone wants to but still its up to any one player how he wishes to play a game. If gaming of one person is rushed or slowed these both are forcing someone to play in other way.

Only way to play how you like is to find a group, aka social network-of like minded people who will play like you also play. If you cant get group together from these friends and need to get outside help... Then you just need to bend your playstyle to suit everyone in group OR ask in the first place "is this playstyle okay to you"

This whole post aside - This will happen in the game about a year from now when people have all the FP's on farm. You will get a jag off in there griefing people just to be a chump...

Need a group leader option to set content on or off.

If he looks for a group and specifies this then yes, you are right. But the way the OP puts it, he does not sound like he is forming groups and defining that up front. It sounds to me like he just wants everyone to play his way and then boot people that don't.

I'd refuse to hit my spacebar too, just to annoy you. Welcome to a story-based game

There. RIGHT THERE. You are jumping down the OPs throat for wanting to enjoy the game his way, which is not your way.

This is a story based MMO, If you don't want to watch the cut scene, specific this when forming a group.

We don't need add ons, people dont need to be kicked, People just need to use common sense.
