Solution to End Game Gear Race and Main Story Conflict

Vastly lower the amount of Tomestones you receive from CM and Praet, and replace it with iLvl 50 or 55 imperial gear drops. The assholes of that plague the Duty Finder will move to a non-story dungeons and we can all be happy.

Seriously, there is nothing to kill the game more than getting in a story dungeon your first time, wanting to watch the cutscenes, and having a few asshats trying to do a speed run, while not at all taking any time to explain anything to you and then disrespecting your while saying shit like, "I wish there was a vote to kick option. GAWD!"

It's that last part in particular that worries me about SE deciding to implement such a thing. It really has to be AFK based, because I really don't want to deal with people who'll do the to me when I am ready for speed runs, just because I'm a WAR or some other stupid reason, like not being in full Allagan while running Sastasha or some other overly exagerated thing that sounds illogical, but will still likely happen.

Why did you need to make a separate post for this when there are already 3 posts on the main page talking about this exact same thing?
Your solution is flawed. If it bothers you that much you can simply leave. After you leave you know exactly what to expect so shout for a group. You had 50 levels to make friends, find an FC or find a linkshell. I certainly hope you didn't rush through them using FATEs. I ran it my first time in a group like that. I was warned and I expected it. I watched the cutscenes anyway. Sure I missed a few boss fights but who cares? I'll fight those bosses 100 times over doing the exact same thing they are doing to me. Nobody forces you to do anything, just don't give in to peer pressure.

I'm all for people watching cutscenes, but people abuse the hell out of it in CM. I had a BM recently who got to the first cut scene, and then sat there in "Viewing Cutscene" the rest of the run.

The other seven of us watched the same cutscene then waited almost 10 minutes before giving up and continuing on. We assumed that he would just catch up, but he sat in the same cutscene for the entire run.

This seems to happen in the majority of my non-FC CM runs. This is why I can'twait for a kick option. Unfortunately, we also know that it's going to be abused, too.

if i am in a dungoen for the first time i wanna Watch all the cutscreen, and ppl just have to wait, if they have a problem they can leave and requeue.

Law of unintended consequences...

While asshats suck, if you take away incentive to do story dungeons, you may find it very hard to actually do story dungeons your first time through if there is no one to queue with.

I agree completely, but there's not a cutscene in any dungeon that takes ten minutes, much less the entirety of the dungeon run like these leachers are doing. This is why a kick feature is being implemented. Hopefully they figure out a way to prevent the abuse that's going to be thrown at those of us that enjoy the cutscenes.

They kinda "fixed" this in a different way with this patch, by making it not particularly desirable to run CM for tomes anymore in comparison to other options.
