    Let me ask a question: What would an NBA star expect if he went to a pickup game at the local YMCA? Surely not NBA-quality players, I hope.

    You take your chances in Duty Finder, and if you fancy yourself some kind of MMO superstar you'd do well to remember that and scale back the attitude.

    Base on the situation right now on duty finder for CM run, an NBA star run into another NBA star in a pick up game is 80% of the time. They are the norm. I mean, try it, queue on CM 10 times, and see how many of them are speed run group. You will be surprise you will run into so many NBA stars in a pick up group.

    Without any credible form of evidence, your 80% in CM are "hard core" or "speed runners" is false. More likely is that "80%" have already seen the cutscenes and don't need to see them again. Not watching the cutscenes does impact clear time, but you're under the wrong assumption that those people are speed runners and "hard core".

    Furthermore, many people (even dirty "casuals" like myself) could've hit level 50 in a primary class within the second week of the game going live. To cap tomes, you only need to run AK once a day for six days a week with day seven having two completions. Many people likely don't want to see the same playout cut scence over and over and over. I don't in the pre level 50 dungeons when I'm trying to acquire certain things.

    If you use DF, you can't expect others to conform to your own view. Make friends with others, and stop expecting random people to conform to your own desire and expectactions. By the way, "hard core" doesn't equate to good player nor does "casual" equate to bad player. Also take solace that soon the DF will have minimum gear requirements for some content.

Or you can just read all these post on this forum that people are complaining so many speed run group for CM which ruin their experience on their first run of CM.
    Again, you are missing the point. Unless you form your own group of like minded individuals, it is wrong to pressure others randomly placed in your group by the DF to skip cut scenes (espeically if they haven't witnessed them before). At least the gear requirments coming soon will at least stop people from entering a dungeon vastly undergeared. That is a legitiment concern, not random people watching cut scenes and slowing your CM run by 5 minutes (arbitrary number).
