Square, Don't let the Community ruin this game

[Phogg]

You bring up very valid points, however I'd assume that using Duty Finder would technically be a speed run, unless of course people just want to try it out and see stuff. Utilizing your Linkshell or Free Company to "learn the ropes" would be most likely a better option to learn as this will allow the community feel that so many wish to obtain from MMOs in the first place.

I have a completely opposite outlook. Duty finder is literally built for a casual with fewer available resources to still be able to progress. If people are all hardcore and want to speed run, it should, IMO, be on them to gather like-minded friends to do that with, and not force completely random people to do what you want or GTFO.

Which is why I maintain, its should surprise no one that people who complain about newbs, force speedruns, and auto quit on dungeon runs have no friends to do them with.

Edit: To be clear I could care less if people speed run, I just think its inappropriate to DEMAND random people/duty finder people do that as well. The laughing at them or chastising them for watching CSs or whatever is really more telling about the person then anything about the mechanics of the game.
