    Ever thought that there might be a small possibility that duty roulette is meant for new players without free company and enough people to run these dungeons, so they can finish the storyline without begging other players for days to help them?
    Locking players who didn't complete the storyline out of this would defeat the purpose of duty roulette.
    Or would you join someone who is looking to do castrum for the main story?
    I rather have duty roulette put me in a group with them and get 300% reward for my time.

    For speedruns you can always join or make a group via duty finder or party finder, or you go with your FC.
    When joining the "Main Scenario" DR, what do you expect?
    It doesn't read "+200 Tomestone Scenario" or "Speedrun Scenario", so expect people to do it for the main scenario.

    Except that it DOES give 300 extra tomes a day, so some people are going to run it for that sole purpose regardless of how it "should" be used. Any kind of Duty Finder run is going to likely end up with people wanting to do things differently, and most of the time, I see CM and Prae DR runs being speedran by all or 90% of the party.That's just how it is now, anyone using a DF kind of thing of any run should expect people like that, who skip cutscenes and do the dungeon the fastest way they know how, just as people should be aware they may get people who want to take the dungeon slowly (within an acceptable manner, of course) and watch cutscenes. Anyone who wants an entire party to watch cutscenes are better off using Party Finder now, since it is seeing a lot of good use as well as allows you to make it clear what you expect for the run, whereas you'll have to play the game of chance in a DF or DR and hope you get a party of people who have similar interest for the run as you do.

    It's just rude to expect a group of complete strangers to wait up on you if they don't want to. Asking people, if you really HAVE to use the DR for finishing your main story quests, if they can wait for you to finish cutscenes is perfectly fine, and you are presented with more options if you make your intentions known at the start of the run. Now, you are always at liberty to watch cutscenes at your leisure regardless of how the run is planned to go, just do not always expect everyone to wait on you if you do this.

    If people don't want to wait for cutscenes, it's easy to ask them to kick you so that they don't have to deal with one member of the party getting locked out of fights, and you can either decide to make a party finder group that WILL watch cutscenes, or hope the next party on the roulette or DF will be more what you want. It isn't that hard, people just make this more of a big deal than it needs to be.
