People who get to a dungeon as they’re progressing the main story questline shouldn’t be required to “not waste people’s time”. In my opinion, that’s acceptable in a party finder group, but it’s not when you’re matched up doing Duty Roulettes. People continually complain that someone is watching the cutscenes when they just want to kill the bosses. I see this a lot in story-based dungeons. Is that really fair to newer players or anyone who hasn’t ever done an event before? Where’s the fun in looking up a strategy for something you’ve never seen/done before? Sure, you could spoil the event for yourself in order to avoid wasting other people’s time, but then you don’t get to experience anything as a surprise. Speaking of knowing the mechanics, there’s often a ton of people that expect first timers to have watched a YouTube video or looked up a strategy for every single dungeon boss/trial/raid encounter they get to. While I can somewhat understand the appeal of farm parties not being willing to bring players who are new to the trial/raid, it doesn’t make for a very inviting party with a description that makes you nervous before you ever even do the thing you’re queuing for. Party finder, more often than not, typically has notes that range anywhere from “know the mechanics” to “baddies = kicked”. I play on Ultros, located on the Primal server, and I constantly see people who say and do super negative things that would discourage new players.

Depending on what Data Center/Server you’re on, your experience might not ever come close to matching what I’ve seen.
