    In my opinion, this change is great as it will weed out speedrunners and keep only newbies and vets that are willing to help ( mentor, etc..) for the duty and I am 100% willing to sacrifice more queue time to get this. I was always feeling uneasy to watch the cutscene for previous duties as I knew quite well I was making everyone wait so I already skipped a few. Now, I know that there won't be any speedrunners or people that does not want to watch the cutscene and I will feel more relieved watching it myself.
    you can edit your post to bypass the cap but i am genuinely curious and hope i get a reply to this:

    You know, there was some that posted earlier on the matter where people do want to simply want to help, but now can't because it makes a 15 minute run into 30 minutes to 1 hour. So are you glad this change makes it very limiting who is able do it? Are you going to be running it later doing it for the 100th time watching the same cs you seen before? Don't you think it is a bit selfish to exclude so many when you can simply get friends and do the run at your own pace? (This friend you speak of is likely able to do these just you and them, but due to the change, you can't even watch the CS at your own pace) Are you aware this change prevents people going at their own pace? meaning I can't go slower then the auto play and read something over at that moment should I be distracted by something in RL? You really think it is a good change removing a dialog pop up across doing it in roulette, premade undersized, watching it in the inn? The change has many problems, not just reward vs time discrepancy.

That might be due to just one other person with a fast connection running into the arena early.)
    ya they still need to load, so say someone with a SSD will start and finish them sooner then say a stock PS4. It has nothing do with connection, that is from hardware spec differences. Most of the time it is not notable but people with SSD and faster loading times can notice those on more sluggish setups. A strong dedicated graphics card and SSD are the main factors for it. You have to load the CS, then after it is done, load the instance back.
