Please be kind - Lowbie dungeon mini-rant

[MeiUshu]

Doesn't matter if you've run something a million times. Not everyone has. You may run into someone who's running a dungeon for the FIRST time when it's your hundredth. That doesn't put the fault on the new player. I understand you NOT wanting to run every little crevice, but if it's that much of a hassle for you, then go get your FC mates to run the dungeon unsync'd with you instead of using the df.

Now I will say, I'll assume we're good to go for a speed run if I enter a dungeon and there is not "someone is new" notification. But if someone says something, I will always run the entire dungeon.

Speed runs depend much on the overall group. Whenever I am asked if I can handle speedruns, my answer is generally this one *i dont know, since i dont know you, so lets try and we will know* not a single speed run is the same as the prior speed run in the same place. People as a whole and not only one or two are responsible for the success or failure of a speed run. Is DPS fast? is the tank good at managing his own CDs and aggro ? are people as a whole sufficiently geared or have all their skills to face a speed run and etc etc etc....

just me though. I had a tank with ilvl 28 in Dzemael pull all the rooms.because he wanted a speed run...how long you think he lasted? it has to be said that tanks often misjudge their own capacity/ability to make a speed run BUT rarely do they set themselves into question is always either healer or dps fault.

I also met this kind of tank that I specifically TOLD I couldnt handle a speed run ebacuse I was well undergeared when I did the Aery back in time and I was well undergeared, guess what ? the tank in question rushed all the places all the mobs packs of mobs, I couldnt handle that at all, and wiped several times until i took the penalty. You might be an exception Malice, and I wished that people started using their brains and common sense rather then play the solo in a group attitude .
