Quote:
I can quickly boot them from my group
This phrase, and what is highlighted is what irked me. I am a well rounded PvE player. I study in depth the class that I am playing to get the most of it and I don't stay in bad stuff.
However, I always see the people with whom I group as a team not as something that I hold ownership. You want to have your group? Pay them some credits for the "service" (Healing, Tanking or DPSing), THEN you have the right to fire them if they don't do the job for what they were "hired" under the conditions of the "contract" that you paid for (in this case, no cutscenes).
Regarding booting. What would you do if the game didn't have the space bar feature? You either would get used to run the FP at the speed dictated by the cutscenes or end playing another game. Such feature is there for a reason: individual choice. Is not fair "booting" someone because is only choosing not using a feature for personal reasons. Imagine the oposite situation, that the FP cutscene is interrupted if only one member of the group hit the space bar. I enjoy cutscenes, I enjoy thinking about how it would shape the future development of my character. I enjoy that as much as I enjoy getting a sweet upgrade. If I am in a group with you and that cutscene is interrupted without my approval I would be mad, would you like me booting you because of that?

Sorry if interaction with other players in an MMO is wasting your time, maybe you need a genre change?

P.S. Please let me group with you in SWTOR in my travels.

If you advertise no cut-scenes, and someone stalls you anyway, they are wrong.

If you advertise nothing, and someone wants to experience the cut-scene, and you boot them for it, you are wrong.

Yeah because watching through the same cut scene for the 100th time is interacting with other players. You are just frustrating the other players.

Please BioWare gimme mod to identify such people like OP so i can report them and you ban them.

Now this is utter ignorance, why should someone skip and pass on story because you want it?

if someone ever told me that to get in their group not only would i watch the entire cutscene picking as many choices as i could to make it take longer but after the cutscene or every time i had a dialogue choice i would wait till the absolute last second to select my answer. boot me if you want, id rather be booted than some a-hole tell me how to play a game that i spent my 15 bucks on. besides i have a guild so i dont really do pugs anyway. your attitude might be why you have to do pug runs instead of guild runs. my guilds policy is play the way you want to play, you want to watch the cutscene do so. if its my first time seeing it im gonna watch it, after that to be nice to my guildmates ill skip it, but the first one i watch period. if you dont like it dont group with me because im one of those guys that love to make guys like you mad and ill do it for fun and laugh the whole time while eating my frosted flakes.
