Please fix scaling, fights are dying so fast now

Maybe there is a middle ground. Perhaps they can add the "Duty Complete" to the Duty Finder Settings. That way, those people who generally want to skip cutscenes can just enable that setting and they won't be grouped with any new players. They'll potentially miss out on the bonuses, but that is their tradeoff for no cutscenes. If you don't have that setting enabled, and you get a new person, then cutscenes can't be skipped.

Isn't this letting the tail wag the dog?

If people are queueing for content they've already completed, it's invariably because they're using duty finder for roulette bonuses to level. That bonus is provided to ensure sprouts have reasonable queue times. If players simply want to attempt speed runs, that should surely be accomplished via PF?

It's not always to level. There are many reasons people might use the roulettes. I can think of three of the top of my head. Pretty sure the expert roulettes are not used to level for example. The high level roulette are also horrible from what I hear, but I could be wrong. Before my next statement, I would like to state that I do let CS watchers do their thing. However, the reasonable queue times is kind of moot when as previously mentioned, there is the duty support. No where, that I'm aware of, is there a requirement to wait for cutscene watchers. It's up to the group, which is why there are different reasons to vote kick. If 3 people want to skip the cutscene, then the group has decided. That group would not be in the wrong from a SE perspective is all I'm trying to say.

No thank you, if i wanna do my Dailys i wanna do them fast and not stick 15 min in each outdated fight with a class which looses half of the skills, if they would implent a sync system like wow has where you dont loose your skills i would be fine with it, but low content just dont make fun with certain classes so every min wasted in that kind of content is boring as hell

This mindset is why this game had a huge ilvl cheesing problem.

Party-> Party Finder -> Dungeon of choice -> Min ilvl No echo (MINE). Additionally, you can exclude tank/ healer + any other class that has rez/heal

Enjoy.

Cool, so lvl 90 content being steamrolled in 7 minutes or less isn't an issue to you? Part of the reason this game is so boring now is because old content (not even OLD content, like 6.5 content) is just in and out in 5 minutes flat. Nobody is learning anything, nobody is making mistakes, you can just eat a tankbuster/tankbuster stack in lvl 90 alliance without any invuln because it barely makes a dent in health. It's just going through the motions and when people actually are faced with a challenge, they lose their marbles and scream for nerfs i.e. Arcadion raids. This game practically encourages you to play alt-tabbed on a Youtube video with Subway Surfers in the corner.

This behavior is so rooted in the community that when a mechanic actually requires killing adds (Ivalice for example), people just blatantly ignore said adds to keep whaling away at the boss, and the adds just end up slaughtering people and eventually wiping the entire raid.

I love the ilvl sync feature in 14, (unlike 11 we had to keep low level gears to help sprouts).

However, I do agree the scaling is way off. They should be "more" challenging. How much "more" is subjective. I don't have a win-win solution, I do suggest SE to scale up a bit more say 20%.

Fights take shorter as time goes on because we, both in universe and out of universe, are getting stronger. Better gear. Our equipment is actually relevant. I for one am glad the gear that'll be irrelevant next time a savage drops feels better than the last set of gear that will be incredibly useless for anything but glamour actually feels better than the previous set.

Job sync is basically time walking

You aren’t playing your DT WOL in sashtasha you are playing your WOL as they were in ARR (well attempting to approximate it)

So your modern gear is in universe irrelevant to the job sync

[Lilapop]

Then if that's the route they are trying to force, improve sync downs. Low level anything is painful, kill potencies but let us keep our full kit, or something.

Here's what Duty Support is literally for:

The Duty Support system allows you to bring certain NPCs with you into instanced dungeons required to progress through the main quest without queuing with other players.

Yes, that's what I said.
If you are vehemently against the idea of a rude party member deciding to pull the boss without waiting for you to get through your cutscene, you can use Duty Support.
