Personally I don't have a problem with it for easy content, or content you are confident in. But I do hate it when people queue for difficult content/things they have never cleared and obviously have no idea what to do, and then cannot even understand explanations when people give them! It's selfish and wastes everyone's time.
This is exactly what I am talking about.
First of all, for Japanese players, we greet each other before the dungeon begins and when the dungeon ends. Even if they use the auto-translate, I hope that other players can, at least, adopt this behavior when selecting "Japanese".

Most, but not all, English-only-speaking players don't tend to do this. I understand this is natural in the English speaking gaming world, but in the Japanese gaming world it is quite rude to join a party and not say a single word. I understand it is a difference of culture, but when in the group of all players who only speak Japanese, it makes sense to try to adopt this.

Today, I had two parties where the players who didn't understand Japanese said some things to the other players in English, but they couldn't understand them.
So I had to explain so we could function as a group and clear both IDs. If I hadn't been there, I think it would have been too hectic.

I understand it must be difficult for English speakers on Oceanic data center to get a party if they can't speak Japanese, but if they queue for a Japanese ID, they should at least either:
A.) Use the autotranslate feature
B.) Learn the very basic Japanese for "Be right back", "Please wait", "I'm not ready", "Keep the enemies apart", etc

And I understand people in Oceanic region can't / don't want to join EU or NA servers. That's okay. But I hope that if queuing for a Japanese group, people shouldn't expect others to understand English.

This not only happens in Dungeons, but also in PvP. Many people who do not understand Japanese come in and shout directions in English, when they, and myself, are the only people who can understand it.

I don't mind if people who don't speak Japanese come into the group, but if they speak only English and expect everyone to understand it, it is kind of troublesome.......
