new trend happening in dungeons

[Khalette]

I've had it worse. Tanks have afk'd my last 7 dungeons, which three of those times were my first time. Tank kiting actually worked >.>

@ anarkh i just feel sory for the first timers in a dungeon considering most use df n generally have a reasonable longish wait its not fair on them is all when some1 just ditches them cause its thier first time 90% of the community r really nice, helpful n friendly ppl ;/ but its becoming more common atleast in my experince :P

I'm yet to meet these people , but first timer or not, I'll help everyone as much as I can! Unless they're a rude ass I'll be honest, I'm kind of dreading getting to 50 and doing these end game dungeon 'speed runs' I've read about, being the tank, I'm probably gonna piss alotta people off!

I ask the same question, that way I know if I need to explain boss mechanics or not.
Leaving because you get first timers is just silly.

There was nothing more rewarding then beating SM Titan with a group that didn't give up after a couple wipes.

How about beating SM Garuda with a party of first timers, none whom had read guides? That was fun!

As to the OP: I ask this question all the time, but it's not to quit if people say they are new. This information is necessary for most dungeons, because based on the answer I know whether or not I will have to explain every boss encounter to the party I am in. If everyone says they have done the dungeon before, that's awesome, but if not...well time to get typing and to explain the bosses.

i just hope at some point theres a harsher penalty for those "deserters" but when u think about it the system would most likely think that ppl who dc r deserting dungeon parties soooooo its not fair on ppl just disconnecting tho ;/

Good 60 - 80% of those jerks will dissapear in about 2 - 3 weeks time

Probably they won't, elitists like this aren't 'F2Pers', there have been this sort of jerk since MMOs came into being, there are many playing FFXI and have been for nigh on 10 years.

lmao when u get to the point where ppl expect 20-30min dungeon runs ofc

The 'speedrun' syndrome is indeed a good part of it as far as I can see, SE need to do something to kill that concept.

I had one party member who won the roll on the pink weapon he needed and after he got it, he left the dungeon. And we were only at the 2nd boss.

and how many don't even bother saying Hi or even a single word for the whole dunjeon ? maybe the same ppl...

yeah mayb bring in a system that encourages helping the lower leveled ppl /1st timers since the system already says when 1 party member is a 1st timer perhaps somethin similar to master/apprentice system? dunno how could work tho...

@ dharma thats just .... they could atleast show common courtesy to the party n atleast finish it ;/
@ ekko normally all people say in my dungeon runs r 1st time? then boss tactics nothin more XD
