Has it always been like this or...?

You're right. Nobody deserves special treatment but everyone should be treated with respect.
If people are not after tomes and are after the card, then they can very easily set up a farming party with like minded individuals. The same cannot be said for newbies who want to enjoy the storyline.
After all, party finder was created for the sole purpose of giving veteran players a way to control their groups.
It just so happens that newbies can also use it.

Yeah, you're right- it is obvious that it doesn't compute.
I'm not sure what to tell you to actually make you understand why experiencing the storyline in the dungeon, as was intended, is important to some people.
Their time and reason for playing is no less valid than the seven other people in that dungeon. I'm also not sure what to tell you to make you understand that other people don't appreciate being treated like crap for wanting to experience content in a way that doesn't agree with somebody else.

As the more experienced players here, we should be the ones with more patience and tolerance. It's not every day that you will run into a newbie who wants to watch the cs and experience the fights. (Some newbies don't care for them and that's their choice)
However, even if it is every day that this occurs, as experienced players *we* know what we are getting into when we queue up for Story Mode Roulette. We know how long those cs are and we know if we want to or not deal with them.
The answer is not, 'oi! noob go watch the cs at the inn because I want this sh*t over with asap!', the answer is "Don't queue for MSQ Roulette if you aren't prepared to let people experience the story." Whatever the vets are after from CM and Prae is something that they *WILL* have an easier time obtaining through other means.
Otherwise, the vets are being far more selfish than the newbies.
