Most of the time if it seems people are watching the videos(ive done all the FP 50-100 times BT maybe 200) i'll ask if someone hasnt been here. If they tel me no i normally dont care i'll let them watch. However if im ignored or get a rude comment back(which happens more often than some may think) Me as the tank will make there life a living hell(normally doing these with 1 or 2 pugs and a guildie healer) chain pull as much as i can and dont taunt so the smug *** dps gets floored over and over.... your going to be rude or slow me down if i am in a rush im just gonna rack you up a repair bill. I'm an a**hole and very aware.

Lastly the movies should be watched while lvling 10-50 and not in a HM FP at lvl 50 where most ppl are trying to blow thru it get there daily/weekly done so they can raid PvP or play an alt

I have never seen anyone respond rudely when asked if they have seen the FP story.

You sound like a real pleasure to run with.

I'd heal for him in a heartbeat. No lie. He's right on point. Get the grind done to get on to the rest of the game!

If you want to listen to to the story, then do it in Story Mode, that's what it's for. If you're holding up my HM because you're refusing to spacebar, I'll boot your *** in a heartbeat. My time is precious, not to be wasted on waiting for every new noob who stepped into Hard Mode without ever even doing Story Mode. They should just disable cinematics in Hard/Nightmare modes.

The thing is, it's not just your hard mode. MMOs require you to deal with other people. It does not matter if someone has never watched the scenes or has watched them 100 times. If they want to watch them, that is their right. If you have enough votes to boot the person, that is your right. Otherwise, you learn to deal or you leave.

They still dont get it, what they are doing because they cant stand when other players play the game AS IT WAS PROGRAMMED, and they then seek retribution.

Its called griefing, no matter WHY you did it.

Just because there is the skip option, does not mean it is required, it is a OPTIONAL function.
Whereas the presence of the CUTSCENES are not.

Players have the OPTION to skip through them.

However if you are intentionally abusing your role, holding folks up, mass pulling to cause repair bills and whatnot in retribution for someones non-use of an OPTIONAL feature, this is considered GRIEFING and you are a GRIEFER.

But hey, i can probably see you commenting again that you wouldnt do that, yet there are posts in this very thread where you and others state that they WILL do these things to grief other players.

I've never failed to vote off someone because they're holding up the group, so from my experience majority do not condone this behaviour. It is their right to watch the story, on THEIR time, not at at the expense of others. Therefore, if you want to watch the story, stick to Story Mode.

Running a Hard Mode is THEIR time, just as much as it is yours. Like I said, kick them if you have the votes. You must run on a server full of jackwagons. I have never once seen someone get kicked for watching the scenes. I am sure it happens, but not nearly enough for it to be a regular thing. Most people do like a speed run, but again, most people won't be enraged if someone wants to watch the scenes. You can be that player though.

The devs coded the spacebar too. Either way is an option. It's no more valid to watch the stories than to skip them, and vice-versa.

Player have the OPTION to watch them and the OPTION to skip them, as the game was coded.

If you've already seen them, you are wasting players' time by watching them again, especially in a hard mode where the goal is almost universally to get that s**t done, get your BH comms, and get out.
