What's the rush?

I'd do worse. I'd heal him just enough so that he die when the boss have 5-10% left :3

They got paid by ingame currency and/or xp for alt class. And if you exclude those people, you might never be able to finish those dungeon since you are a dps (3 hours queue time, maybe ?).

Personally, I hate the duty finder and party finder alike. One is like playing russian roulette, the other feels like I'm a politician trying to get votes through any means possible. When I'm looking to run a dungeon or trial I follow this order. A- Ask every single person I know if they want to run x with me. (Often this is all it takes) B- I (and my friends) ask around FC's and Linkshells. C-I place a party finder ad, and try to be as concise about it as possible. D- Assuming all of the above has failed then I begrudgingly queue up in the duty finder and roll with the punches. When you play at 3am on a mostly NA datacenter you can expect dps waits as long as 4+ hours. It's better to make some friends and not treat every one like bots.

He didn't wait for the other damage dealer to finish the cutscene and both him and I were locked out of the boss fight. I feel like next time just sitting my character down on the ground at the beginning of the dungeon and saying "Hey, let me know when we're finished".

Alright :), if you need help progressing just try to see if I'm on. Leave a friend request if I don't respond, might be afk (we can make the postmaster moogle deliver some letters for once lol).

MMOs survive on replayability. This game in particular tries to keep all content relevant. There's nothing in this game you will only do once. Especially if you do roulettes. :P

Hey, I dunno if there is any real solution, but I agree with you.
I'm an aspiring tank who hates being pressured by DPS or healers to do speed runs.
Fortunately, I haven't seen any of that since it's the new expansion now but I really don't have fun speeding through things. Even if I have already done it twenty times or more.
I play games to relax, not feel more stressed out.

Good luck on your quest in FF XIV.

its not just the amount of times, its also the challange,. me and my friends take more risks than when i go in DF. one example, in nerevear i like to run around colect all mobs even if that means i get tornado or such, i jump around and it's fun actually. give more trouble for my healer friend lol. then get all mobs somewhere safe etc and aoe them, i dont call it a rush really, it's just a boring repatative dungen and if u do it the slow and easy way there is little challange. also on boss, if i see opportunity i go deliverance ( dps stance ).

on the other hand in duty finder random people i tend to be more carefull. i normally test the water and see what healer is capable of, and if he looks pro i do the same as with my healer friend. but i also consider the gear and job types of what people have.

Hang in there, the world needs more tanks. Usually I find most everyone agreeable to going at a moderate pace, so long as you're polite about it. Something like "I'm an old fashioned tank, I'd prefer to take monsters one group at a time if everyone is ok with it" works pretty well in my experience.
