People are deliberately ruining the story for others

Actually, your best bet is to spend some time finding a good FC on your server. All you'd need are like four friends to queue up for the dungeon with you and wait while you watch cutscenes. That would solve the problem of everything being zerged without you.

Or his four friends could queue up unsynced with him and not deliberately slow down other people in DF.

Actually, you only need 1 or 2. I've done this for many newer people in my FC.

Players have to visit specific dungeons to progress through a required storyline in a game that is heavily story-based. Revisiting these dungeons for whatever reason is completely optional. If one of these two groups needs to be protected at whatever cost to the other, it is obviously the former that SE should be catering to in this case.

Except for the fact that without veteran players queueing in, these dungeons would take hours to pop.

I think new players might prefer longer queue times provided they have a pleasant experience once in the dungeon rather than quicker queue times that result in a frustrating and disappointing experience - particularly one that is the culmination of a storyline they may have an interest in.

Besides, no matter how annoying SE makes content for veteran players, they will continue to queue for it as long as the right incentive is there. See many aspects of the end-game as proof. With the right rewards the developers could convince most FFXIV players to spin in a circle for two hours.

Wow Wow Wow....What kind of rewards are we talking about here?
