Personally I think it's rude to expect pro-bro style runs of content when randomly matched with others.
Duty finder is a mechanic to match people running older content or lacking party members with people who are willing to run whatever and gives them a slight XP/gil/possibly crystal incentive to do it at least once a day. SE needed a way to help newbies progress and I think it works very well. PF is for people with very specific needs: IE: I want to do this run, this way. If you have any sort of preference, this is the way to go.
And while I personally will put up with quite a lot (I'll give a rundown of the dungeon, boss mechanics, wait for people to roll for loot and put it on) from someone who is obviously new, people should understand that using duty finder may match them up with someone who's idea of a run is to get through it as fast as possible. It's a give and take on both sides. Nobody who's been playing this game for more than a few months wants to wait for someone to read all the notes in Tam-tara, it would be nice, but let's be real here and say it: it's not fun for a level 60+ and understandable they'd wanna just get on with it. BUT, veterans need to understand that new people have never seen this stuff before and there is a lot of world to wonder at.

in the middle there is a balance of running a dungeon at a reasonable pace while allowing for newbie joy. Waiting for cutscenes is a given, if they wanna watch.. let em, most of us did it at least once (.. except those two instances. You know which ones. nobody has that kind of time or patience. Make a PF). Standing there after a chest drops for a minute? .. no.. roll on your loot and move to the next pack, maybe a quick "hangon, putting new gear on" if you need a moment to upgrade. No story or lore flavor between packs? get on with it, people have meters, buffs and mechanics that are ticking down and have been conditioned a LOT to try to optimize.

.. in the end though.. you do your DF and get on with your day, yelling at people isn't going to change anything (I highly suggest polite suggestions though).

TLDR:
DF is random. Use PF if you got requests.

new people: vets get bored, sorry. say something if you need something. People are jerks sometimes though.. bummer.

Vets: slow down from ludicrous speed for sprouts, they deserve a little bit of slack. you were new too once. It's not every time you just remember the really bad ones.
