    QoL for Duty Finder: Playstyle option

    With the constant issues people seem to have with running PUG groups, I thought this might solve the issue somewhat.

    There are a lots of people out there with differing Playstyles: first timers, slow and steady, speedruns etc. An option to pick what type you want could significantly reduce the grief of clashing methods.

    Of course the price to pay would be slightly longer queue time, but there could be a button implemented to select all. In that case it would be on that particular player to compromise with whatever type of group they fall into and would not have the right to complain.

    It might help, but it will far from quell arguments.

    "Slow and Steady" might imply to one person that going AFK for a drink or to walk the dog is acceptable. Another might think it only means taking one group at a time.
    "Speedrun" might imply to one person that you will have outstanding gear, bring top DPS and sprint whenever you don't need the TP. For another person, it might simply be making big pulls and AoEing them down.
    "First timer" might imply to one person you'll only play with other newbies that have no clue about the content either. It might imply to another however that you simply haven't cleared it yet, but might have done research prior. See also: Practice vs Clear Group.

    And that's not mentioning the fact that all too many people are unable to read even simple PF descriptions and would likely fail to do the same with DF descriptions >_>

    I have been wanting this for a while - notably a "watching all cutscenes" option for CM, Coil, etc.. Probably PF is better for level synced or cutscene parties anyway, but I still dream of a DF option.
