    Amdapor Keep Penalty for quitters

    They really need to penalize people that just rage quit dungeons , a penalty of Allagan Tomestones for leaving. You wait in queu for 30-60 mins, to go in the dungeon, then you watch how a sucky healer or people without patience just jump out and leave.

    "Speed runs" as they call it turn in to hell runs, such an easy dungeon, and people just make it annoying and a pain in the a** to run.

    The girlfriend spend most of the day doing these "speed runs", but with the Duty Finder you tend to run into players who perhaps aren't experienced enough in the dungeon to do a speed run and succeed, especially not in a speed manner - it would have been faster for those groups to have killed everything. It gets to the point that eating the 15 min penalty already in place is actually worth doing, because 15 mins is better than a possible 90 mins that it could take.

    Of course, the whole "speed run" idea is something I dislike, and is part of the problem. Not being able to do it, though, would probably help this issue. There'd be a lot of complaints about that happening, naturally.

    As a side, this isn't just affecting this dungeon. I've known people in Ifrit Hard groups abandoning the Duty because there wasn't someone who could cast Meteor, despite it not even being necessary to win - just players who are paying attention and can keep on top of their damage.

    Frankly, i can be generally pleasant and reasonable and don't rage quit, but there is an exception to this rule...

    If i Duty Finder my way into a speed run, i WILL leave, immediately.
    I refuse to speed run.
    End of story.

    I can't lie, but it always seems to be the healer who acts like they are gods lol. Got one today and the tank asked him to put away his pet and the healer is like "Don't tell me how to play my job" and then proceeded to kill himself and wouldn't drop party.

    Good. More for me.

    Trash is not content. Trash is time filler to space out content. Trash is repetitive and boring, and serves no purpose in ARR except to rack up repair bills. It doesn't drop anything, not even money, so it serves no purpose except to lengthen a dungeon.

    If they made trash worth killing, people would kill it.

    It isn't, so people don't.

    Then get a group together that wants to play that way, not forcing this style on others using DF.

    I don't see why ppl are hating against speed runs. But if one wants to do one... they should probably not be using the Duty Finder to do it. That I do see as an issue.

    A simple solution to this would be to make more options in the Duty Finder. Maybe allow players to select speed run, and normal run. This way grouping like minded players together.

    Because people have a picture in their head of how they think the game is supposed to be played, and anyone who doesn't play it their way is wrong.

    We're all guilty of it.

    Some people say skipping trash is wrong. I say wasting time to no gain is stupid and pointless, and forcing a group to do so is wrong.

    We'll all agree to disagree, and when the scrubs ragequit, not a single tear will be shed, and I'll happily collect my mythology tokens in 20-30 mins tops, versus their hour+ for identical rewards.

    This made me really angry today, I get on, need to do Amdapor Keep for the Relic Quest, and first thing I say when I go in is "Hello, my first time here" they explain that they're doing something to skip it, basically say don't heal me, I do what they say see no aggro on me, but soon as tank gets to room everything goes to me and I die, I didn't buff or heal or anything, we give it another try and the tank/dps rage quit. What is wrong with just killing things, it doesn't take long, and when someone tells you they've never been, don't expect them to be able to cheat the system like the people apparently born with and innate knowledge of the game and how to cheat.
