Silver chest farming in PotD, harassed by speedrunners. (More ingored PvE harassment)

[Ama_Hamada]

So, let me ask you this: Assuming we would end up in a run - you and your friend wanting chests; me and my friend wanting only the exp (and therefor faster progression by not going fo chests) - and I propose that we go and explore and look for chests for the first 5 floors but proceed straight through the teleport for the last 5 floors - would that be accepted by you and your friend? Would you even think of proposing this yourself? Would you be willing to sacrifice part of your goal for my sake? Or are you only asking that of me?Maybe we kept missing each others points for the major part of this discussion but the main impression I had so far of you is a that of a person who isnt willing to compromisse either and instead sitting there, repeating over and over again that their way of playing is the only correct way - and thats an attitude that doesnt sit right with me, because its simply not true. So far you dont seem any better to me than a speedrunner who refuses to help - because you've made it very clear that you're not willing to go out of your way for the sake of someone who wants to play different since you despise that playstyle so much.



(I'm willing to take the blame since I'm bored and stubborn again)

Took a while since this is for my friend, not me, because she can't post here. (I know what you are going to say make long story short, GMs will not do anything to help her situation)

"I am not sure about working deals like this as it never came up. I never even thought of talking like that because of the situations I run into. I have call out macros to flag wondering monsters (called pats, short for patrols in wow) I also use these when people are far away and I need help. I typically go as a healer so it is not like I can take care myself with 99/99 gear. So when I use these, then have them go ignored I will say something along the lines of, 'I use those macros for a reason I need help when I use them' or 'why did you not come help me when i needed it?' After these statements I get the harassment and "toxicity" in the replies, as far as going to MPK me when I kicked out a speedrunner for just standing there when I asked for help. The reply was 'no I will not help you, I want to speed run so I am going to stand here afk' I really do not understand sitting at the gate thing saying you are going to afk while you watch 1 or 2 people struggle to fight monsters. It is not speed running at that point. It was very disrespectful having the second person that wanted to speedrun while me and Ama struggled to fight off monsters and stay alive. He just stood there doing dance emotes till we finally all wiped. I guess intentionally wiping a run that last for 15 minutes is called speedunning. " (I remember that... been a while)

"In the end it is DF, speedruns should not be expected. I am fairly sure yoshi-P made a remark about this back when it was at 50 cap. If you want to speed run, use PF, otherwise be prepared to slow down for people that can't handle it, for whatever reason."

I'm 99/99 and currently leveling a ninja, if u want to explore the whole map while the teleport is open, go ahead, i just won't go unless your dying. There's just no point in exploring every section of the map when they make it so easy to max out, let alone be 90/90 for the weapons.


I always wait at the teleport once its open while people explore the map, i never saw any of them complain to me. When ever i see topic like these, there must of been something else in there that they don't tell. Cause i personally never saw any potd drama about getting chest or speedrunning.

see above, this is more then just a conflict by the way, of course you have not seen it if you are willing to help. No strong willed speedrunner has ever helped us. There was a few times where a few people that preferred to speed run let her look for chest and helped as needed. There was no problems in those runs.
