Watching cutscenes = AFK?

[BreathlessTao]

If you use Duty Finder. Don't expect everyone to wait for you to watch cutscenes.
If you use Duty Finder. Don't expect for everyone to engage in a speedy run.

Its a double edged sword. To put it simply, use Party Finder to make a group for the type of run you wish to do.

For the Main Scenario Duties, this is how I see it. As long as one healer and one tank aren't watching the cutscenes.. just roll with it. Complete the instance as normal. You only need ONE tank, and ONE healer and any amount of DPS or No DPS to complete it. Let the people who want to watch, sit and watch. They're just missing trash mobs anyway.

As far as I know, speedrun is a players-created concept, it's not the intended way to play through - any dungeon. But especially in Main Scenario ones, I do believe "normal" is going through it all, together with the cutscenes. Not skipping mobs and intermissions. So yeah, when it comes to those, having patience should be the norm; or in any case, a level of consideration towards the new players who are more likely to play them, especially where the game is by now. (Take Expert Roulette on the other hand - there I can understand everyone wanting to rush through it; it is called "expert" too and face it, not because of any particular difficulty or mob mechanics.) Not to even mention the facts that for a new player, Castrum Meridianum is a maze and takes quite a few runs to know and feel it; in Praetorium it's very easy to miss where you have to teleport and where you have to fight and interact with something (unable to jump in the Magitek Reaper anyone?). It's not "only trash mobs" they miss while watching the cutscenes.
