DPS who pull mobs

[Mirhd]

Anything above 14~15mins enters sluggish territory.
Expecting wall to wall pulls is not wanting speedruns. Expecting people to press their buttons is not unrealistic or expecting high level, it's expecting the basics. If people just press their buttons there is no reason for a run to take anymore than that amount of time, it should take less.

Not going to bother beyond this post, since you seem set in your view, no matter how unrealistic.

Aoeing is a basic expectation, as such abilities are there to be used, and if someone weren't using aoe on groups, I would question that. Wall to wall (W2W from here on)is not "basic", it's something a rather vocal portion of the NA population decided should be. Not pulling W2W doesn't result in some 40 days and 40 nights scenario you seem to be envisioning. Again, you're thinking in extremes - not W2Wing doesn't mean one singular foe at a time. A tank pulling 2 packs isn't going to lead to a run taking 40+ minutes, and if you think anything slightly higher than 14-15 min is sluggish, it sounds like you need to take a step back and reevaluate some things, because good grief. I enjoy a smooth, fast run as much as the next person, but you're being ridiculous here, and your time isn't any more valuable than anyone elses'.

To reiterate: you want those tomes fast? Form a custom party. Roulette doesn't revolve around you, or any other single person.

To be fair couldn't the same be said for those who have things that may hold them back shouldn't they use party finder also?

The same argument can be used for the other side.

No, because of this:

Everyone likes to say it's a team effort when talking about things like healer dps or tanks that should peel, but then give selfish dps a pass when *they* don't play with the team.

That right there is why. You joined a roulette, you're expected to deal with what you get. You can't expect people to conform to what you want because you think it should be done a certain way. If I queue as dps and the tank/healer want to take it slow, I'm cool with it. They wanna go fast? Cool. I'm gonna push my buttons, and that's that.
