My first bad experience with another player. :o

- "If they want it their way, they should do it in party finder!" applies to BOTH sides of the argument. Duty Finder puts you with random people with uncertain goals, and once in, majority rules. Majority usually means, skip cutscenes, finish quickly.
- Both sides have very good arguments. New players should be free to experience the dungeon as intended. Old players should be free to finish the dungeon quickly and efficiently. Sadly, these goals are pretty incompatible.

I disagree. The entire time I've played this game and also on my first run the consensus has appeared to be that new players may watch the cutscenes while others melt the mobs and bosses. Both MSQ dungeons can be 4 manned and the lack of 1 or 2 new players during fights is completely unnoticeable. The only exception is probably if they are both tanks or both healers. I have never, ever seen any new player having to skip cutscenes to make duty completion possible.

Not getting into everything else, just want to point out that in this case, the PF argument essentially only goes one way, and that is for players that want to take it slow to use it.

Because 'speedrunners' aren't doing CM/Praetorium for any rewards specific to these instances; they're there for the daily roulette reward. So outside of DF, there is no need/desire for them to run them at all.

Except that new players have no indication in game that the story dungeons contain so many cutscenes, whereas experienced players do know that but choose to queue anyway. You can't expect someone to make a PF for the purpose of watching 45 minutes of cutscenes if that person doesn't even know there are cutscenes.
