Keep in mind that a lot of new players just use the DF unaware of the other options, or because they didn't have the need to find a FC earlier.

    Also, I've never said that it's just the players' fault, in general. We discussed this a lot back in 2013, and both SE and the players didn't do things as they should. The former for not taking into account the western mentality and always thinking the best about the players (this is not the first situation where this happens), and the later for abusing the system whenever they can.
    This seems like blind belief in some sort of notion of inherent human goodness than anything based on evidence or rationality. The sheer volume of people who run the MSQ roulette the way they do pretty much speaks to how incredibly rare it is that people are actually willing to sit through the cutscenes for sprouts, though it does make it clear there are still a lot of sprouts progressing through the story. Yeah, I'm sure you meet plenty of nice people, but being a nice person doesn't mean you're going to be willing to spend several hours each day queuing into the MSQ roulette and sitting around twiddling your thumbs just to make sure all the little sprouts can have an uninterrupted cutscene experience with reasonable queue times.

    And you're fulfilling that role by queuing into the dungeon and clearing it, giving them quest credit and allowing them to continue with the MSQ. You're not signing a contract to wait for every last person to watch every cutscene when you join the queue. You guys are ridiculously egocentric.
