Edit: I think, for now, this issue has been resolved for me thanks to a helpful post by Zannis. I will be now be able to easily determine which player is being uncooperative and remove them.

Thank you for this helpful info. I had no idea you could determine this from the group portraits. My groups should run a lot smoother now that I can replace players who don't follow my politely stated rules.
*Force choke* I find your lack of patience and tolerance, disturbing.

of course he could just have a slow load time on the cut scene and cant hit spacebar till it actually loads.........but that doesnt matter to the rush to the point of stupidity generation.

Troll OP enrages troll VO fans who then troll OP who then encourage White Knight trolls to come to Troll OP's defense.



The lack of troll identification on this board disturbs me. Yall need the old dattebayo YHBT tag on forum posts (You Have Been Trolled)

Um, maybe you missed the memo, all of the memo's...all 1.78 billion of them.....it is storytime. SWTOR is a STORY DRIVEN MMO. It's been repeated, I dunno, maybe a billion times between news, main stream media announcements, the forums, everywhere else you can imagine, SWTOR is a story driven MMO. I mean, in the very first new announcement about TOR it was made clear that Lucas Arts was teaming up with Bioware to deliver a story driven MMO with all the fun and features of a MMO, it's only been the main focus of SWTOR since, well, the beginning. I think perhaps you are missing the point of the game, the story.

You play it like you want, I want to enjoy the story. Boot me from your group because I am enjoying the whole focus of the game, well, be glad you're not playing on a PvP server I guess, some people take rejection poorly and will demonstrate it by pwning you and dancing on your corpse (among other interesting things players do to corpses.)

You're doing it right though, mention in your LFG message that you want people who skip the cut scenes and hopefully you will not have as many problems, but still, you're missing the point of the game.

The original poster is in the right here. Everyone bashing him fails at reading. He says he advertises no cutscenes. If you join his group and then don't hit spacebar, you're in the wrong.
Personally, I'd never join his groups, but he's got every right to do it that way.

I wouldn't advise the addon though, for a reason someone else said:

It would get abused, yeah.

As for this:

I'm not sure that's true? I know there are dots for rolling, then we get our number, but does that apply to the rest of the scene too? I've never actually noticed.

1. Why would the OP have attempted to forstall furhter posts by editing his OP that the topic had been answered?
2. Why are we trolls for trying to make some sort of coherent discussion amidst the flaming?
3. Why do I think you are yourself a troll?

To the OP and all who agree with him. Please post your in game name and server so that I may pre-ignore you now so that I will not have to put up with ******s like you in game.

thank you for your co-operation
