    Unfortunately, this bonus is bonus exp so functionally useless. I would love to see a double stone bonus for running people their first time on dungeons, this is such a missed opportunity by SE I can't even stand it.

    The problem is that the same two story dungeons that finish out your story line are also the best source of Philo stones you need for Darklight. I still have not decided if this was divine brilliance or utter madness on the developers parts.

    PROS:
    Extremely fast queue times for people working on their story quest compared to Cape Westwind and other trials
    Geared folks that know the run and will get through quickly
    You are almost guaranteed success
    CONS:
    Expectation that you skip cutscenes upon entering the instance and watch them later in Inn
    Expectation that you know the fights (though they are all extremely easy to pick up on as they are happening)

Least you can do be civil and act like an adult. We're not animals, we live in a society.
    Unfortunately, the amount of people running CM for tomes at this point appears to outmatch the amount of people running for story quest. So the expectation is that if you're in the duty finder queue, you're there for a speed run. If you really want a slow run to watch the cut scenes you're better off getting a full party together and queuing that way. Regardless, there is effectively no bonus so your argument is invalid. Though there should be one!

    Regardless, neither here nor there as it pertains to a vote kicking tool, and even if it were used to remove players simply because they didn't want to skip a cutscene in CM still the lesser of two evils compared to afk abuse of the current system.

    Screw that, your the one wanting to change how the game is mean to be played by speed running..you are choosing to use an open DF to find a group..if you cannot handle people watching cut scenes than your happy ass can gather a group together in order to avoid that.

    These people kill me like them watching a 5 minute cut scene (most are not even 5 minutes btw) is cutting into their speed run SOO much..people need to rethink their lives if 5 minutes gets your suspenders in a pinch.
