    :/ you're not being punished.. if you want to rush then make a PF. You shouldn't be punishing THEM for wanting to rush. :/ Your gameplay isn't more important then theirs. If both of them wanted to not speedrun then youi and your friend should've just left and duoed it OR made a PF. Yeah it sucks but you qued so you have to deal with that.

    I dunno if you missed it, but he said in a follow-up post after the OP that they were just standing outside of the circle chatting. That's not trying to rush people, that's just trying to progress and those 2 sprouts deserved to be kicked and reported for griefing.

    And why is it always the "speedrunners" that should make a PF? Proceeding quickly is normal procedure no matter what the content is. If anything, the "I want to look at the rocks grow" people should be making party finder groups.

    yeah I missed that follow up, and why is it always speedrunners? Because atleast with everyone one I've seen, they complain that the party at large doesn't want to speedrun with them. And it's mostly 3 against 1 OR 2 on 2. I've never seen it where it's 3 speeders against 1 cause most of the time they just kick that one. So yes, if you want to speedrun and DON'T want to get a chance of gettign grouped with nonspeeders then yes you need to PF. And same to the other side. It's a numbers game my friend.

    That's fair. Every time I see people posting on here about "You should make a PF if you don't want XYZ" it's always directed at one side and not the other. Appreciate you saying it goes both ways.

    yeah it's all about fairness. Like I que all the time and there's a risk for getting all kinds of people I may not want to be near for whatever reasons. But that's the cons with ques. They are fast and many, but you have the chance to run into people you don't agree with. Both sides need to remember that. The world would be a much better place if people on all sides viewed it that way.

    It depends with POTD. If they don't have any kinna weapons equipped, I take my time and get the silver chests for them because speed running when they clearly need the level is rude and wrong. If you want to speed run, then yes, I do agree form a PF for it. Expecting others to skip silver chests when they are needed should not be required for a DF POTD.

    Because PUG groups were created for casuals.

    No, no it was not. It was created to make content doable. If you want to be a slowpoke and make 3/7 other people wait for you, you're being just as much of an asshole as the people who want to try and break world-records for no reason at all.

    Like Hikuras said. It goes both ways and the majority rules.

    you can only speak for yourself, not the 3/7 other people. I wish you guys would stop talking like this, it is rarely 1 v 3 or 1 v 7. more like 2 grumps and 2-5 others. so far op was in the minority. in both cases. he and the other guy was just faster on the boot. Which is a d-ck move. no communication or compromise just "you suck, /kick"
