Enough of the hate-mongering and such. What the OP is asking for is for a way to identify people that will "fast-foreward" through content which is fine. But we all know what will happen, people will use this "tool" in a way it wasn't intended. They'll invite people and kick them at the drop of a hat if they watch the cutscenes.

Personally, what I think Bioware should do is flag a person when they see the cutscenes after the first time and just eliminate them after that. No addon needed and no hate for the kicking that would ensue.

I only get irritated when people won't skip the cutscenes during Hardmodes.

You already did the flashpoint once before, you've seen it, just skip it ffs.

Yeah knew this would be an issue, who wants to watch all the cutscenes more then once? The first time thru is fine but second not so much, at least the OP had the decency when forming the group to let them know he wanted players who were wanting to speed run. They should have a group leader feature that disables the social points and cutscenes.... Just a thought.

Oh look the trolls who quote the OP but dont read it are back.

Anyway, Logical, I don't think the option to skip questing should be implemented, simply because everyone can do it solo. True you need to group up for Heroic quests, but I'll be honest I've skipped all but 2 or 3 Heroic quests.

So I think LFG with the option is a good one.

For the pop-up box,

Invite to Group:
Name of Leader:
Loot Settings:
Cutscene Settings:

and tbh i cant think of anything else lol, anyone got any suggestions?

I suppose that would depend on if different choices lead to different dialogs/reactions/events.

I want to see all possible outcomes over time.

If I have... and if you still get social points for making decisions... then, sure, skip it if everyone else agrees. But I am not in such a rush to get done that I can't wait for the one guy who's done it before.

(Also, don't FPs only reset once per day? If so, what's the big rush? It's not like you're going to run the same one fifty times an hour. I may be thinking of heroics, though. I haven't tried doing the same FP in the same day.)

i love the fact biodrones have no reading comprehension at all.

"no cut-scenes" disclaimer does NOT have a hidden meaning. It means he does NOT want to watch the cut-scenes because either he does not want to or he has already seen them.

I agree, this guy needs to take his *** back to panda land.

Well now there's something: social points. The gear you get from this. I have no diea what it is or where it is, but i dont think ive seen anyone regarding it as being of any use. But theres the possibility they add things in later. still, as of now its pretty blah, so turning those off may not be a horrible idea.

yeah its an issue for me, I hit space and wait for the one whos watching but at the same time... kicking someone out the group for watching the cut scene? geez talk about over the top.

I think this is another "Im too good for this group Im the best I dont need to watch anything"
Must have gear score xxx
Must have achivo
