The dungeon finder needs fixed.
Im a very patient / helpful player and a few days ago I was put in a group with 3 other players who all had CP under 80 ... and the dungeon was City of Ash.
Now THAT was painful.
Im a tank with 531 CP.
Trust me .... I tried ... and I tried ... and I tried ... then you get to that point ....
I dont blame the players - its the finder that needs tweaked.
You cant blame low CP players for wanting to do vet dungeons. Monster masks are locked behind these dungeons plus you need the vet content difficulty to help you develop your skills and build. Normal dungeons and questing is too easy and you learn nothing and if you go to Cyrodiil and aren't a well spec'ed player, you will die in seconds.... and learn nothing!
Vet dungeons allow players under CP300 the chance to develop.
This elitist attitude of SOME players is becoming a real issue. If you only want to play with other top tier players than use your guild or your friends. Surely if you've gotten to CP561, you have acquired a large social network in-game. Play with them! IMO, if you use group finder, then you accept that it will give you players from all ranges of capability.
If the players you get are not up to your standard, then YOU leave.... but kicking inexperienced players is just wrong imo

I do agree partly with you. Yes it's annoying if you get booted for being low cp player. However some dungeons require good mechanic knowledge and enough DPS to get through it(some fights gets incredibly hard with low dps) and if I queue for a random dungeon as tank there is not much that I can do to carry people through so I would kick the lowest player earlier then when I'm playing with one of my dd's because with those characters I'm usually able to carry the group through it. But when I'm tanking or healing I'm not always able to carry the group through it and I don't want to spend 3 hours trying to beat a dungeon and then realizing at the last boss that the boss is actually too difficult and people leaving the group. Thats not only waste of my but also their time.

Ooooops, sorry I worded that wrong, I actually meant NORMAL dungeons not Public. May bad, guys!
I'm actually really good at dungeons, I use both duel wield & destruction staff (for that ranged weapon goodness) but I'm just being kicked out within 10 seconds of transporting there. I know it's because I'm lower than them, but it's not fair. I wasn't huge into dungeons until the witches festival started, it's the easiest and funnest way to get a bunch of guaranteed plunder skulls imo. I think when the festival is over it won't be so bad but yeah. I'm just gonna suck it up and stop whinging haha

Firstly the max gear CP is 160.
That means no content should be scaled any harder than CP 160 players are capable of completing.
Secondly, this is a group finder where you will be placed with new and novice player.
If you dont like playing with new and inexperienced players, create a premade group or join a guild.
This is a global grouping tool...not experts only!
Thirdly, the fact you are 360CP point above content level and find it a walk in the park in comparison to CP160 players is a problem with the game design.....not the lower level players.
CP 560 should be scaled down to CP160 level....but then why did you farm all those extra CP for days on end right if you dont see any benefit ?
Thats the price you pay for using vertical progression systems instead of horizontal.
If CP 560s scales power....scaling it down loses all veteran porgression.
If CP 560 just granted options...there is no need to scale anything down as scaling has no meaning.
Horizontal progression is scale less.
If you dont like playing with new and inexperienced players ...
is a problem with the game design.....not the lower level players.

You can just reverse this by saying: If you lack the knowledge/dps/cp/gear/whatever to complete a task don´t queue up for it in hope to get dragged along by other players. You can get a starter guild for learning mechanics and having build tips etc pp.
Both statements are equally wrong or right.
If a player gets kicked the majority of the grp wants him or her gone. That´s not a "some elitists" issue.
I see your point but I do not believe both views are the same. To suggest that a low level player shouldn't queue for vet dungeons, I believe, is somewhat more of an extreme view than to suggest that if you use group finder then you should accept that it may give you low level players. Also, I think its more reasonable to say that if you don't like the pug you got, then YOU leave. You used group finder, you rolled your dice and them's the chancesBut to kick a player for being low level is obviously very hurtful as evidenced in the OP's comments.
Yes I agree that some dungeons are not possible with low level players and I have been stuck for 2hrs in a dungeon that should have only taken 20mins, but I accept that low level players should be allowed to run them so that they can improve.
On the days when I really don't want to run with inexperienced players then I don't use the group finder. Or if I use group finder and think its not going to work out... I leave!
And no, I don't think you can learn it all by reading tactics online etc. Sometimes the only way to improve is to run the vet dungeons, get wiped , learn the tactics, and improve. I think by saying players shouldn't queue for vet content is denying them a part of the game which they paid for and have every right to expect to be able to attempt.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it! Will add you when I hop on later.

@chelsweyrTwo vet, two public. I know that I'm low, but CP123ish isn't THAT low and shouldn't warrant the ol' boot out the door, especially for a public dungeon. It wouldn't grind my gears as much if the queue time wasn't 1+ hours and then pegged with the 15 minute penalty just to rub salt in the wound.
Whyyyy do you do that?! WHY!!!!!!! If you're one of those people who do that, I hope your plunder skulls are full of Sweet Sanguine Apples recipes.
It really sucked and my frustration forced me to do something I dislike doing... turning off the console and participating in real world activities. *shudders*
