When I spam my LFM, I already add "no cutscenes" but people still refuse to hit the spacebar sometimes.
Could ya would ya pls stop playing

I could re-enact some of these flashpoints in the shower and I haven't even hit 50 yet.

You can even call it <Spacebar Slammmers>, or <Cut the Cutscenes>, or <Impatient Imperials>, or maybe <Rushing Republic>, or even <ADD Troopers>.

let me know what server and character names so that I can ignore you and not waste your time.

Sorry but thats the way how it is, you need to wait other :P

Maybe you should consider single player game like counter strike where is no conversations.

I dont think this is a good idea. What happens when someone new comes along a year from now and wants to watch the FP cutscenes and the regular server pop has already seen it 100 times? That person will never find a group.

Because it would end up being used by one majority or the other to put down the minority. Essentially it would cause the same problems that gearscore did in WoW: Do you get to experience content or do you not, because of X reason.

If I'm on a server where there is a strong SPACEBAR majority, but I like to watch the cutscenes, my expereince is going to be negative because I would be discriminated against and unable to do FPs or OPs. Likewise, if I'm on a server with a strong STORY majority, but I have little time for cutscenes, my experience is going to be negative yada yada yada.

Well then you should be forced to watch all cutscenes, because with an arrow to the knee you're certainly not moving fast enough to skip them.

An addon like this would improve player experiences by bringing like-minded players closer together.
My first reaction on your OP was similar to most here, what a &!!@$#%**

And I'm still not sure why you play this game with such (apparently) limited interest in the story-

However, if you are explicitly stating "no cutscenes" when you are posting LFG, then the people who respond do so under those conditions, and so having a way to identify/ kick them may not be a bad suggestion/ request-

Looking at the posts pointing out how such a tool could keep newer players from participating (which I agree could become a problem), maybe a better approach would be to incorporate the "no cutscenes" as a check-box option in any future LFG tool to give people LFG better control both ways
