Let's DF Castrum to Finish Story!

I had a similar experience when I ran CM for my firs time. 4 people queued together to do a speed run, I watched them speed run to their deaths as I was a WHM, they couldn't make it too far w/o me.

So I continue to queue every once in a while to rerun the dungeon. If I know there is a person that is new to CM I hang back with them and smile when I see the HP bars of all the impatient DBs steadily drop and not recover

Like the OP said, If you insist to speed run, do it with 8 members of your free company, If you rely of the duty finder to fill in your group, don't be a douche and get angry at people when they want to watch the CS. Let them enjoy the game.

What they really need to do is lock everybody down while somebody is watching a cutscene so others can't progress until everyone is ready. The speed-runners can cry all they want, but that will end this stupid debate and it's the right thing to do. Forcing people to have some patience is not a bad thing. You could argue that if they do it then you're wasting a lot of time but in that case the problem is really the core mechanic of how you get the tombstones and that is what should be complained about. Not the lack of ability to force people to skip story.

This kind of thing aggravates me so much. Typically in most games I play I am a healer, but in ARR summoner was released which is my fav FF role so I picked SMN as my main. I don't want to be in a situation where I wait an hr or more for DF to find me a party, excited to finish the story and find out what happens and boom, speed run. And sure I can just follow along as a DPS perfectly fine, but now I'm losing the enjoyment from just experiencing the dungeon. Its even worse when not only are you losing that, but you are being harassed into it and you have to take it or spend another 1-2 hrs in DF. -__-

Speed runs are all good and well...but if you are gonna do it in DF, give a warning, teach some folk, and for the love of Twelve be nice to your party! (Though that should be the case in any dungeon lol) So many people just expect people to know everything, but how to you learn unless you try it out or are taught? Not everyone is going to look up a guide on every dungeon and what routes are optimal. That takes away from the experience. And while yeah the tank/healer holds a decent amount of power and can just tell everyone to fuck off, no one wants to deal with that crap, over and over again. People need to learn to chill out and be sensible about this.

At the end of the day all it takes is a little communication and everyone can go about things happy. And isnt that what everyone wants? lol

This is going to end up what I start doing once I can get my WHM to catch up to my SMN lol
