And I have yet to see anyone give a coherent reason why people should feel compelled by others to skip a cutscene if they have already seen it before. This is a story driven MMO, and people are seriously complaining that others want to watch the story if they already watched it? If someone wants to watch a cinematic for the 100th time and you don't, feel free to take your own medicine and go do something else. And I'm sorry, but not skipping content that BW has provided for people to experience = griefing? LOL, all that says is "I'm a petulant child that wants everything now!"

This...

Ive seen all the cut-scenes on every Reb toon and 2 Imps, all to 50, seen all Ops and FP at 50 about 100 times each, All i need is 1 jerk in the group and il watch the whole lot again, in fact il just go make a tea and make it take even longer.

Their is no cost for politeness and patience.

Some would do well to learn that.

Works for avoiding jerks in groups too for the most part.

I couldn't disagree more with some of the statements made in this thread, that somehow the OP is wrong to feel the way they do. However, there is no need to agree on the one true way or what is normal or etiquette or any crap like that.

Group with like-minded people. Ignore those that disagree, and if necessary block them. Might sound harsh, but I'm long past believing that people can all get together, group nicely, and sing kumbaya. MMO players can be jerks, ignorant, opinionated, unpleasant, and stupid. They can equally be great people that you'd want to spend quality time with. Kinda like life really.

Edit: All that said, the OP's point that politeness gets you further is spot on.
Great post and QFE.

I enjoy Cut-Scene's, if people want to watch them I'm cool with that and I like to watch them too. If people start acting like D-BAGS about me watching the cut-scene's I will make a point of watching them all and I will NEED on every item regardless of whether I need it or not. IF they RESPECTFULLY ask not to watch cut-scene's I'll go along with it unless it's my first time in the Flash-Point.
RESPECT THE EMPIRE!!!

Cause some people may not have wanted to do FP's while levelling or PvPed or did space to level. I've been playing this game since early access and I still haven't done Red Reaper, EC, EV, LI, KP or any of the Imperial equivalents. Nor have I done any of the HM versions of the regular flashpoints. Not everybody plays the same as you.

I've run every flashpoint and op at least twice on 2 different toons and I PVP very heavily and I have a total of 2 people on my ignore list since launch. At some point you should be wondering maybe its just you...

I usually simple type "spacebar is friend" and have never had issues with that.

In the end to me the issue isn't spacebarring or not. Sometimes I just want to spacebar through, and other times I feel like watching the cutscenes again. The issue I have is when people decide that they get to demand that I and others play by their rules and expectations. If you want to spacebar and someone isn't then ask them, like one human being to another, if the group can skip the cinematics. You only make people resentful and less inclined to comply by being a *****
That's the purpose of HM FPs. What you're getting out of them. Which is the reason the vast majority of the player base do them for. You sound like the exception. Which is fine. Just don't expect others (who only want BH comms) to sit through the story of Esseles/BT for the millionth time. DPS might stick in there, but it's so much faster for tanks/heals to re-queue.

Because the $15 I give them every month says I can.

If you want to watch cut scenes that's fine, but just don't get mad when i space bar through them, afk to get coffee / let the dog outside/ whatever and a conversation choice pops up while I am gone and you got to wait on me while it times out.

If you want to see the story then go do "STORY" mode. 99% of people that do hardmodes are doing it for gear/comms. Save everybody time and spacebar. And what is with people getting a Revan ***** at the end of Malestrom Prison? People will spacebar through the whole FP then the last cut scenes comes and somebody ALWAYS has to watch it. "OMG its Revan!" *** *** ***
