The Aurum Vale

[Dualgunner]

It's great tank proving grounds. I think Aurum Vale rocks and I'd much rather get it for leveling than satasha. It's great experience plus the bonus.

This. Aurum Vale > Sastasha, TTNM, Copperbell, Toto Rak and Qarn imo. I'm always partial to DD myself though, but I can see why some dislike it.

AV is a throwback to 1.0 style dungeons with needing to actually watch out for patrols, mind your aggro range, monitor debuffs, interacting with the environment for mechanics and paying attention to actual boss animations rather than just waiting for a meter and orange cone to move out of. It's fine the way it is and helps separate people paying attention from those who sorely aren't. So many runs of it I've seen start abysmally from a DPS performing poorly, healer not balancing heals and dmg, or tanks not bothering to react to unexpected adds. The upside to those runs is when people wake up and pull themselves together after some coaching and turn a possibly long painful run into an enriching experience. You don't get better from easy content.

And auto ditching a dungeon just cause you don't find it fun is so incredibly rude to the other 3 players. Especially if you were a healer or tank role.

Ok, you want me to play a dungeon and not have fun but be miserable? I pay for this game why should I be miserable while doing so?

That's a terrible excuse for ditching a dungeon. I seriously don't like it when people start saying 'you don't pay my sub'

I can't imagine the dps who needed 30 min just to get in there and now need to wait on your replacement are having such a good time either. You can't pull the emotions card while obviously ignoring the other side. You can be selfish but there's no moral high ground in that.
This thread started out not so bad but now it's come to this...

Don't queue for content you don't intend to complete, simple as that. This way you aren't miserable and you also aren't screwing over other people by being selfish and entitled.

Everyone wins.

I'm starting to see why you're not too well liked now.

You act like an entitled rich brat that's never had to work and just gets to do whatever they please all day, never been told no a day in their life and gets everything they want.

Just because you pay a sub doesn't mean you should ditch out on 3 other players needing it for their daily or whatever, everyone else is paying a sub just like you are, it doesn't give you the right to ditch out just because you don't like something. Nobody can force you to do anything but with that attitude you're going to find yourself playing alone and being left out of things more n more because people don't want to play with you.

How the heck are you still a mentor, Zexy?
Seriously. How have they not just made an exception and yanked the crown off you?
I'm just so over being nice and polite but I'll give you this last compliment: You're an excellent troll and I hope I never end up in any party with you. Your head is shoved so far up your backside I'm sure you're able to tickle your tonsils with your tongue if you tried.

On topic: I didn't take what you said out of context as you've continued to make similar comments about how you pay to be here so why should you be miserable? Your attitude shows you have zero respect for your fellow players and can't see beyond your own nose. I'm really sorry for however hard life must be for you. I pay my sub, why should I be forced to deal with inconsiderate, resentful people like you? Don't queue for roulettes if you don't like the idea of possibly falling into something you don't enjoy. I hate Sastasha and if I'm going as AST, I hate The Vault, but if they pop in my roulette, I'm going to be considerate to the three other people in my party and do my best to make it as quick and painless a run as possible. You know what that's called? That's called being an adult and it doesn't sound like you're going to get there for a few more years.

Edit: Now you have a reason to say someone's being mean to you. At least this time the complaint will be valid.

[Tizzy_Tormentor]

What is this meme? Why do people hate the Aurum Vale? Its literally like every single dungeon in the game. The first room is mildly annoying at best because the wandering mobs and join the fight and it can get overwhelming, but that's pretty minor when the rest of the dungeon is fine, I find it miles better than Totorak, at least AV doesn't slow you down with pointless green sludge.
The level sync is awkward but again, all levelling dungeons add a level sync so what is the problem?

[Spirlia]

Zexy, aren't you a mentor? Someone was likely new to that dungeon, and needed it for their story. That crown means you should be helping, not leaving because it's "not your cup of tea".
