Best SB Methods

[Kyana]

News flash: Playing MMO ARE a waste of time. Go study/work instead of playing. You play, expect more time wasted. You judge others, others will judge you back. lol

Thx for that... valuable info.
Now, before this becomes a personal thing, let me tell you that, for me, this game is a way to relax from my work which takes up the majority of my time.

I'm tired of people running hard mode dungeons with crafting/gathering gear, forcing the rest of the party to make up for the lack of damage, healing or damage mitigation.

You can run dungeons to SB if you make a party finder group and state your intentions.
If you want that, do it, no problem.
But joining regular parties or duty roulettes with that kind of gear is, in my opinion, just a way to leech and get carried. And I don't support that kind of behaviour.

your opinion, which i find wrong!

That's the thing about opinions. It doesn't matter what others think about them.

2. prevent others from forcing me into runs i didn't sign up for.

How could this be possible? Do you mean if people want to do a SR and you don't want to?
Why not just tell them to go at normal pace instead of gimping yourself and forcing your preferences on the rest of the party?

i got sick and tired of pushy tanks forcing me to become a heal bot

And you think it's fun for a tank to get pushed to take on more mobs than he/she wants because healers or DDs can't get enough and pull stuff?
Is it fun for a DD to hold back because the tank can't hold aggro?
If you don't want to heal when playing a healer...
