Addon request: Identify players wasting my time by not hitting spacebar

I think they shouldn't allow spacebaring when in a group. I'm sick of everyone whining about having to watch the conversations.....I enjoy them and it's part of what makes the game fun!

Coming from the stand point of a developer, since I am one, I will look into what it would actually take to do this!

First off we have a frame that opens in the game currently that asks if you wish to accept or decline a group invite. This part is easy - enlarge the frame, add a couple more feilds to it.

Second - There is no way currently in game to totally SKIP content like cut scenes. They would have to go fishing around in the code to find the trigger that starts the event and basically recode that to contain a conditional statement looking for the setting to be true (toggle on) or false (toggled off) in the right click menu for the group leader.

Obviously this feature if it were to show up in game would be toggled "on" by default so people wishing to see content wouldn't have to go in and manage settings every time they started a group.

We the evil content skippers could easily go in and set it to off.

Whacha think? huh? good right?

Interesting how people replied before my edit which made the blackmail more clear.

My experience is that the "perfect" group forms so rarely that you waste less time settling than waiting around. "I want do Kill Some Guy; you want to do Kill Some Other Guy And Click The Thing. Lets just group and do both quests, even if each of us only needs one." I'd rather "waste" time doing a quest i've done before/don't need/whatever (and gain a little XP and some commendations, at least), then sit in chat spamming until I find three people who ONLY want to do the quest i want, and who ONLY want to do it exactly my way, and have all the "right" gear and specs and what-not.

If a quest takes 10 minutes with the "Wrong" group and 5 minutes with the "right" and you spend 20 minutes, or more, finding the "right" group... the rational solution is obvious.

(I can't tell how many times I heard in WoW chat, LFG #SomeDungeon, MUST KNOW FIGHTS!... the same person spamming for hours... and not cluing in that no one can LEARN the fights if they never get to group in the first place, and that "carrying" a noob for an instance or two would get them someone else to group with in the future and they'd have been in and out of the instance already, in the time they spent trying to find the "best" people because "it's more efficient".)

You are the type of self entitled worthless smudge on society...........*be calm*


Just because its how you want to play doesn't mean its how EVERYONE else should play. The only point that I will give you is that if you actually put NO CUTSCENES in the group spam then I can understand the frustration. If someone spammed that and I joined then im agreeing to it simple as that. (although an additional "ok everyone you gotta skip cutscenes" would be nice once everyone is prepped)

I have subtitles on and usually read ahead and spacebar so I find myself often waiting on group mates to catch up. Do I get pissed at them? No, its a social game if you dont like dealing with other people and how they want to do things go play a single player game.

37 pages... wowza.

Anywho, I love this game the way it is, and I will most definitely not be happy if BW ever implements something that forces skipped cutscenes. This is a story driven MMO. If you can't deal with that, go back to WoW. Stop trying to ruin this game and make it an exact clone of every other MMO on the market. New = good.

You'd think people would figure out that it's more efficient to spend X time in a Flashpoint with people who don't skip the cutscenes than (X*4) time just to get a group that will run the flashpoint without cutscenes, resulting in (X*0.75) time in the Flashpoint.

The story and the cinematic isnt fun after the first time. You have to be really weird to like watching the dialogue over and over again of the same instance.

Do you watch rebroadcasts of anything over and over again? No! Well if the rebroadcast is the most entertaining part then, yeah. But in BT/Esseles the most entertaining part is the actual fighting if u have done it more than once before. So its completely understandable if someone wants to skip the dialogue to move on to the more interesting parts.

If you want to watch the dialogue, fine. But DONT join a group that advertises "NO CUTSCENES" and then expect to watch the cutscenes and piss off three other people. You are the one thats rude, not the 3 other people.

Good thing i am always a group leader and can kick people who whine about those who watch cutscenes. Go back to wow pusskings of crymountains.

Unless, say, youve been looking for a group for an hour and finally see this guy spamming in chat. The OP is the kind of player who ruined WoW, and who has gone on to subsequently ruin every other MMO by essentially walking on the baseball field and declaring that everyone is now playing football.

Go back to FPS games, OP. RPG is not for you.

Agree. I bet that most of the people running as fast as they can to 50 have never noticed one of my personal favorite parts of the game - the landscapes while taxiing. Yup, I said it, taxiing is one of my favorite parts of the game. You get a real feel for the planets in the taxis. But they're probably sitting there, chugging their 7th Red Bull, hitting the spacebar because, like hitting the Up elevator button, it makes it go FASTER.

Try decaf.

The pictures are prettier when you aren't zooming past them at 100mph.
