But with this solution you can pretty much bet that any tanks/healers queing for CM will be first timers in CM. However, CM runs really smooth overall, it's not really hard even if everyone is a first timer.

).

As a tank I would rather que with good people over speed runners even tho I am speed running ( I don't mind people watching cs) soo would check it just to get people of similar mind set.

So it WOULD be a great solution however I bet speed runner douches would still click the option anyway and ruin its intended purpose.

Like others said, what if the kick wasn't possible for someone who hasn't cleared the instance dungeon?

Not sure if it retains your first time dungeon run status even if you run out of time or for you just being in that dungeon once without clearing.
So until that clear flag is put on that character, the kick feature shouldn't allow anyone to kick the player just because he's new or watching cut scenes for his/her first time.

this. is. DELICIOUS.

I think it's easier for newbies to find other newbies or people who don't mind, speed runners are the majority and you have to deal with it

Seems to me like if your going to use the Duty Finder to find groups it's the speed runners who need to learn to deal with it. You can't use a widespread public system like this and expect only 1 kind of player. That's unrealistic in both theory and in practice. Especially considering 15-50 players have been trained to goto the duty finder to find groups for dungeons.

I organized a run. I just needed tomes. A person hesitantly asked me. CAn I please watch the Cutscenes? will that be ok"?

I replied "Why are you asking me? You pay a subscription don't you? It's not my decision or right to say so, even if I need to wait a few seconds"."

These same threads being made has to stop.

Funny, because I was going to say the same thing about speed runners. Especially the "you have to deal with it". The speed runners have no recourse against people who play the game as it was intended. If someone wants to watch the cutscenes, the worst a speed runner can do is rage quit the group. Boo hoo, they will get replaced

Nope, the worst they can do is sabotage the group or AFK. A healer or tank going AFK will often dissolve the group.

This isn't the fault of the first timers...

This isn't the fault of the speed runners...

THIS IS SQUARE ENIX'S FAULT FOR MAKING THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO GET END GAME GEAR TIED TO TWO STORY MODE DUNGEONS!

This is just an excuse. Square enix isn't forcing players to act like complete bastards to other players. That is the individuals choice and is very telling about his/her character. They may have created a poor situation, but the players themselves are making the moral decision to act like this. You can't push that blame onto anyone else.

True. Those people will cost the players in that group a few minutes to an hour of gameplay time, but themselves 3-7 days of gameplay time after they get reported for griefing
