Anyone else dislike doing Dungeons?

[Lunaxia]

Running Aurum Vale and Satasha HM 20 times just to continue on with Nexus sucked BIG TIME..You can't even really advance until you get the drops but even then the game trolls you since you had to wait till after the dungeon was over to get that measly item that had a 9% drop chance. About the new dungeons we have I hate them I wish we had at least 3-4 more instead of these boring 2 that I yawn and yawn everytime I run them to get Eso capped ughhhh..

I've always done a lot of grinding in any RPG I've played, but FFXIV is honestly the first game where I've had to go "I'm simply can't/ won't waste my time on that."

I find them a bit too long, to be honest. I prefer trials. It gets especially monotonous as a healer, going through mob after mob... and it's downright painful when one or more of the party is lacking in some way.

I had to do Stone Vigil with 3 undergeared newbies once... thought I was never going to leave.

This is what makes me dislike dungeons some.

How some players act towards others. You're new? Screw you we're going to speed run through and complain that you always suck and not help you. We might even kick you for no reason!

But I'm doing my best to break that. With communication. I say flat out if I am new to a dungeon or would like to map it, etc. I state when I am tanking that I am doing a full run and marking targets. If members don't like it, they are more than free to leave.

Depends on which dungeon. The new ones I like. The High Level roulette, well...Not so much anymore. Everyone overgeared and steamrolling through it. I am planning to enjoy every minute of it though, since these times maybe past tense soon. I heard somewhere that in the next update you can solo them, with hired NPCs from the Grand Company. I really hope this game doesn't turn into a Me Myself Online type of MMO like most others are.

Is this supposed to be aimed at me? It's not newbies I have a problem with, it's newbies with level 30 - 35 level gear in a level 41 dungeon. I do my utmost to help any new players and rarely kick outside of AFK or actual abuse, so direct your diatribe elsewhere.

Personally I hate doing them, but you have to do them in FFXIV it's the only thing I hate about this game.

..... why? I think it is still less HATE than FATE? (for leveling)
when everyone doing fate upon 2.0 released, every fate just like a S mark and entire server just brainlessly spam skills with you...

IMO playing dungeons is the main dish in this game. ^^;

I don't like or hate them. Indifferent.

With communication.

Good luck. People can't even say hi in df..

I actually think he meant it towards those people in game who actuaactual do it. Didn't sense it to be directed towards any post in the thread. Because as we all know those types indeed are in the game.

I don't mind the dungeons... It's just that the long que times make for alot of wasted days.
Even the research facility has a 20+ minute wait on my server

I was really really enjoying them actually until i got blown up by bomb in copperhead mines because of lag

I have this AOE lag problem, and now I'm too scared to do stone vigil and my story quest because i read is hard for healer and is Aoes.

But i do like the dungeons so far. The early ones were a little too simple, but Haukke manor and Brayflox were a lot of fun .
