What's the rush?

[Elvin]

Wow, thanks for all of the replies. I'm usually a single-player game player, so just I don't really understand why people are playing a game they've become so bored of they just want to rush through it.

Single player game player, MMO, why?


To me, as a player playing tank and healer on this expansion, and also DPS class on the original game, speedruns are usually more fun for every class.

As a tank, I have to avoid areas of a bunch of mobs while I put them in a nice position for the DPSs
As a healer, I get the chance to play the game. I mean, in a lot of dungeons, as SCholar, you can just autofollow a tank and let Eos do the job if you just want to heal and won't DPS... And even if you have to heal, spam cure/phisics is always more than enought.
As a meele DPS it can be a bit dangerous and hard, and that's usually fun.
As a caster, it means that you get to use all your AOE skills and get a ridiculous damage done. That's usually fun.


If you go group by group, instead... As a tank you probably are just in front of the mobs avoiding an attack from time to time.
As a healer you can DPS. Is the less boring job to do when you are in a slow run.
As a DPS... just doing your rotation.


So... speedrun = fast & fun
Slow run = slow & boring.

Add to that that you'll need to do those dungeons a bunch of times and...


I woud really love if they woud add an option to the Duty finder to select "Speedrun" , but if they do new DPS players will have to wait for weeks to complete their main quest.
