Isn't it obvious? They're preparing how to speed run hard mode Haukke Manor for 2.1

I recently did Haukke Mannor as a level 50 whm because I was apparently missing a portion of the map, and wanted to complete it.

I was surprised that I was paired with 3 other 50s.

I followed them, and they indeed were "speed running" it, including the use of "Return" to get to the start before the final boss.

After the final boss and they left, I took the liberty of sprinting around the map solo and dodging the remaining trash mobs to finish my map. Bahahha.

HOW DARE YOU?! How dare you play the game and try to level at your own pace?! How dare you attempt to get gear that drops in that dungeon which would benefit you?!

Seriously, I can't understand how people from duty finder feel so entitled to rush others when they are legit trying to level or get gear. If you want to go for something like that (rush in, specially at a low level dungeon which people can clearly benefit from) , make your own group. The original intention of the dungeon is to be cleared entirely and to benefit from the gear as well as leveling if need be. Seems to me like they'll end up forcing us to kill absolutely every single mob thanks to jerks like these.

Awwww yeah. When Duty Roulette comes, I'm queueing as a tank. I'm going to open every chest, and any unhappy people can leave and find another party :)

definitely doing this just to spite people who want to SR in a lowbie dungeon.

hope SE makes it so you don't get that many tomes for doing them.

And that's one of the reasons why I stopped using the DF for anything besides getting a last man or helping a FC mate, and in those cases I don't do the dungeon the same way as I would do it if I was with my FC alone. Some wannabe speedrunners (that's it, those that have been using and still use the DF for SR instead of making a good premade) are a headache, and their attitude versus other players is even worse. Note that to be an a-hole you don't even have to open your mouth sometimes, so I don't care about excuses like "I never namecall anyone, I just go ahead at my own pace" and the likes, specially in situations like those that the OP explains.

I'm still not sure if the rewards on the Duty Roulette will be worth using it, and I don't know either what side effects will it have on the DF and, of course, on people new to any duty. CM/Prae again, but this time on more dungeons, starting from level 15? Who knows, we'll see.
