It was possible to kick in 1.0, and I do agree that the mentality is just childish and careless when the community expanded.

Duty Finder was meant for people to 'find and complete their duty with other people requiring the duty while not being bound to the character's server population'. New people who haven't made a lot of friends yet and are shy on making some will most likely do duty finders. They will probably try to que solo since it's the easy thing to do. Guess what, Duty Finder is also your 'welcoming card' for the community. Getting kicked as a 'new, excited adventurer' that wants to get 'emersed into the story'... well, the community is gonna look real vile and nasty for being impatient and unwelcoming with vote kicking over cutscenes.

If you want 'organized' (read party finder) 'speedruns' (read experienced, serious play with high level gear, which is an option in party finder) then you should probably try to compile a party in party finder.
