Skipping cutscenes should not use a consensus model

Your self-importance doesn't impress me. You are no more important than any other player in the game - they paid for it, just like you did. If they want to watch the cutscenes, that's their right, and you have no say in hindering them from getting their full money's owrth out of the game.
A pure flame, Lets rewrite the sentence:

No, it wasn't a flame, and it wasn't hypocritical. Also - what I said makes sense - your re-write did not.

Once again - no-one is any more important than anyone else. If someone who has PAID for the game wants to spend 2 minutes watching a cutscene, you can deal with that. Use that time to go to the bathroom. Get a drink. See the sky. Whatever you want. 2 minutes from your life is not that much of a loss. It does not deprive you of anything. It does not devalue what you spent your money on. You are not going to get that much of a mission accomplished in 2 minutes.

If you are that adamant about not seeing a cutscene - look for a group where no-one wants to see the cutscene. Why do you think have any right to tell someone else that they cannot experience every single bit of what they paid for? What makes you think you are more important than anyone else?

Meh - I'm done.

I'm not sure if this was said already, but if you want to skip the last cutscene in a mission you shouldn't be forced to wait it out...there's no reason to lock you in to the cutscene if one other person wants to watch it.
