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

Yay! I was afk a while - Glad to see the anti-wow crowd is keeping this post at the top of the forums!

Good job people! Help us make sure this post gets seen! Oh wait.. you don't want this in the game? Hmmm logic would dictate that people posting negative comments would better get their point across by NOT posting and let this fall to page 2 and beyond..

Your ego's wouldn't allow that now would they? LOL

Fast travel and fleet passes from the vender account for most of my travel. Taxi is a last resort for me personally.

I go afk for 10 minutes and look what happens.

Generic post of irritance at lack of reading ability by people on forums. Points to OP and disgruntingly tells you to read it.

Now what would peoples thoughts be about flagging YOURSELF as Cutscene/No cutscene?

This makes sense. Because after seeing Star Wars the first time, I never, EVER watched it again.

Oh wait.

Agreed, joining a ggroup that says No Cutscenes and then not skipping may be a little rude... but asking the question is also a *little* rude.

There's an analogy involving a movie and fast forwarding to the end while someone in the room hasn't seen it, but I can't get it perfect, so I'll just leave it at that.

Shrede so I'm really weird cause I like watching the cutscenes again eh? Then I suppose people who watch re run's are really weird to you. That's a foolish belief. I'm just glad I stay away from group's because of stuff just like that. Granted I bought this game cause it was a bioware one I could care less about it being an mmo I play it because its bioware which is known for it's amazing stories. Now as the OP said if he said no cutscene's yes the people who watch them are wrong but also you don't need an addon for this that's overkill. Though I'm also not one for running to the forum's and complaining. Just ignore them and move on.

Lol I see what you're getting at here and I appreciate it.

Lemme see if i can get at it.

A person suggests watching a movie and says he wants to skip the first 30 minutes because it really adds nothing to the story. Everyone agrees. But then as they begin FFing, one person yells out "WAIT IVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE I WANTS TO WATCH THAT!" even though they agreed to skip it, making the rest of the group wait and sit through it.

When asked why they didn't stop and say that to begin with, the person says...what exactly?

How was that? :P

I think something like that would only work with the LFG interface we have now - BUT it does leave room for griefing. Lets say I was a jag off - and I flag for no content. Then I get in group and do not spam space bar.

I would then get kicked... the group is ready to go and now we are down a man, now we get to look for a replacement

Naw, if I (or someone else) cares about the dialogue and the storylines presented, I am not going to hate on them for it.

True, but that particular axe swings both ways.

Let's say you flag for cutscenes but then skip everything. You only impede yourself.
Now lets say you flag for no cutscenes, but watch everything. You now have 3 other people pissed at you, who can report you for harassment for misusing the tool, and furthermore can 'name and shame' you to the community at large.

Most single player RPGs are based around story. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't that inferred? Final Fantasy, Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Warrior, et al. Even old school D&D table top. I know it is an MMO, but a lot of people enjoy the story. Isn't that the main selling point of the game? Considering this is the successor to KoTORI and II, wouldn't you expect it?

It was said before, find a guild of like-minded people. I understand that it is repetitive after doing it a few times, but I would give it time, and people will warm up to skipping cutscenes in flashpoints, because they have done them dozens of times. If you don't like it, go back to whatever MMO you played before, because it would be highly unlikely they would add something counter to Bioware's original intentions. They say patience is a virtue, and I can see that you don't possess it. Until those days come to fruition, have fun playing alone.
