    What's the rush?

    Is there any way to filter the Duty Finder to not group you with people who just want to rush through the dungeon?

    Not really. Problem is, rushing is left to player's choice. It's mostly 50/50. Some people still take the time to clear everything and others don't. I'd suggest to find some friends who are willing to do so. Otherwise there is no way

    its not just the amount of times, its also the challange,. me and my friends take more risks than when i go in DF. one example, in nerevear i like to run around colect all mobs even if that means i get tornado or such, i jump around and it's fun actually. give more trouble for my healer friend lol. then get all mobs somewhere safe etc and aoe them, i dont call it a rush really, it's just a boring repatative dungen and if u do it the slow and easy way there is little challange. also on boss, if i see opportunity i go deliverance ( dps stance ).

    on the other hand in duty finder random people i tend to be more carefull. i normally test the water and see what healer is capable of, and if he looks pro i do the same as with my healer friend. but i also consider the gear and job types of what people have.

    Like Kit-Kat said, when people have done the same dungeon over and over and over, people just wanna get it over with.
    Some new players are happy to advance faster as some wanna speed-lvl through it all.
    But left are those that wanna enjoy the dungeons.
    When I see that someone's new in a dungeon I usually take detours so the new ones can get the dungeon explored achivement as I know most groups would not do that. Had plenty of ppl that didn't get the achivement due to just that. It is kinda sad that new players are robbed of the whole "ooooo, neet" experience when doing a dungeon/story dungeon, especially when missing alot of Cutscenes due to speedrunning. Sure one can watch it later in an Inn, but the feeling of the moment is gone by then.

    You sir are one of the reason why I like FF:XIV. The same goes for those who do the main scenario and want to watch the cutscene in game instead of those in the inn. Take time to ask. Sometime it's all what it need.

    Actually, if you skip cs inside an instance you only get the opening cs and ending one recorded at the inn.
    None of my characters have any cutscenes from inside dungeons unless i got to watch them inside first. Examples: We all know there's tons of them in Castrum? All I got stored at the inn is Raubahn's big speech outside before it began. Nothing from inside. Praetorium? All I got was the mad dash at the end on the reaper mount...so skipping is permanent loss. Unless you can find them on Youtube like I did.

    You don't need to watch a cutscene all the way through for it to appear in the journal. Your issue would be how cutscenes, even from the same dungeon, are sometimes split up into different categories in the journal so you're simply overlooking them. Check again and I promise all of them are there.

    Welcome to the FFXIV community. There are those of us who enjoy the game and playing it, and then there are those of us who want to get every run done so that they can move onto getting the next run done quickly. I find that it's more than often the tanks and healers who are used to instant ques that tend to be in the bigger rush. DPS like me who have 15 minute ques at minimum unless we get lucky tend to be more willing to just run it at whatever pace the party is comfortable with since it beats sitting around waiting for the dungeon. Of course, this is hardly true for every player in each category, and there are a few runs that I'm so tired of doing that I just want to rush through, (Satasha, Brayflox, and Sohm Al being the main ones), but even then I don't push for the party to do more than what it's capable of and just let the skills of the party as a whole decide the pace. Even when running with a bad group in a particularly bad run, I don't start complaining to them to rush more, or pull bosses on my own to make it go quicker......
