No not every player does, but the ones who did had no obvious option to get that done. They were instructed by the game to "use duty finder" only to end up in a party uninterested in their experience and only in the xp/tomes they could get. The roulette was created for those who needed to get past those MSQ dungeons. Everyone in this thread is talking of "forced to watch cutscenes" like it's some sort of torture. In the hours necessary to complete this game it's minor and comparing the two kinds of people , newbies who don't care about the story and would rather rush through and newbies who want to enjoy the story, who had more options in the past? The INTENT was to get new players party members if they couldn't locate their own. The refined intent, as has been demonstrated by their new rule, is to allow newbies to enjoy the story AND find party members who are OK with that. People who don't care can still clear it to continue but with a minor inconvenience. As has been said several times in this thread though, I am in support of removing the restriction from PF and Solo instances, but if that cannot be separated I still believe the greater good is allowing people to experience a very crucial part of the first story arc in full without having to negotiate it.
