That would be the short answer, yes. You have to complete the dungeons to continue on with the main scenario. If you have to rely on duty finder for those, it can certainly pause your progress.

As for making a game that everyone can enjoy....such a thing is a myth. There is no way that you can design any game that will cater to everyone. You can TRY but there's going to be some people (like yourself) that will have different expectations on how they want to spend their game time. For MMOs, there is no "I beat the game" type scenarios. There's constant progression and that involves dungeons/instances/raids for gear drops.
