    No. It isn't. Jumping into the Duty Finder and acting like a prick because someone was *gasp* new to the dungeon is the problem here. You don't like it? Leave. Go make a premade party. There is no excuse for shitting on someones day just because you're impatient despite deliberately going through channels that have a very high chance of pairing you with someone new.

    I think it's easier for newbies to find other newbies or people who don't mind, speed runners are the majority and you have to deal with it

    People keep saying speed runners are the majority and those who want to skip cutscenes are the majority. However, if you look through this thread you'll notice every post defending those watching cutscenes is generating significantly more likes than those defending skipping them. Methinks the skippers have an awful high opinion of themselves.

    Seems to me like if your going to use the Duty Finder to find groups it's the speed runners who need to learn to deal with it. You can't use a widespread public system like this and expect only 1 kind of player. That's unrealistic in both theory and in practice. Especially considering 15-50 players have been trained to goto the duty finder to find groups for dungeons.

    Funny, because I was going to say the same thing about speed runners. Especially the "you have to deal with it". The speed runners have no recourse against people who play the game as it was intended. If someone wants to watch the cutscenes, the worst a speed runner can do is rage quit the group. Boo hoo, they will get replaced

    Nope, the worst they can do is sabotage the group or AFK. A healer or tank going AFK will often dissolve the group.

    True. Those people will cost the players in that group a few minutes to an hour of gameplay time, but themselves 3-7 days of gameplay time after they get reported for griefing

    Didn't SE say there are no rules detailing how players must engage mobs? I was under the impression that not engaging them at all or engaging all of them at once is perfectly acceptable.
