If you don't like to do Dead End with bad players, you have the same option the bad player has, duty support.

You do what the game wants so you get the rewards, you wouldn't do it if it didn't give you the rewards. You can of course decide that the rewards aren't worth the inconvenience you are incurring in which case the scale of duty completion might tip into a direction for Square Enix to take action.
Play with bad players and take 17 mins to do a dungeon or take 25 mins to do with NPCs? Rather pull my eye out of their sockets.
