If you dont want to farm essences, get a group together of people who don’t want to farm essences and run DR with that group.

Otherwise, whack a few plants for 20 minutes. Or go to the marketboard and buy a stack of forgotten mems.

Right? Why are players who want to play optimally (rather adequately) called "elitist" frequently, and told to form their own groups? How about people who are choosing to put in the least amount of effort, join their own groups instead?!

But we're "elitists", our opinions don't matter. Twelve have mercy on those of us who happen to be mentors as well.

Making your own group requires a lot of work, so that kind of defeats the purpose of doing the least amount of effort.

Besides, we're allowed to queue without essences, so why wouldn't we? The "elitists" are the ones who can only reach their goals by forming their own groups, so they probably should.

I mean nobody is forcing you to use them. Just because you were asked to use one doesn't mean people are expecting "perfection" lol

How do I delete this forum

If you don't want feedback maybe don't post?

Then please do us a favor and climb down off our backs and use your own feet to walk. I believe you can do it if you try.

I'll stay right where I am thanks. On my own feet, laughing at you being so upset that I dare not use an essence for every run. My last run I was the only one in my group with any healing. I'm the one that kept that whole party alive. Imagine the speed difference if they were all perma dead, essences or not. I believe you might be able to remove the thing lodged up ur arse if you go into a party finder like many I know do to get themselves those speedy runs.

If you que for any duty in this game that is open to everyone, you will get people of varying skill level and commitment. If you cannot deal I suggest you get some friends and go run it with them. Because you can moan and act as superior as you want. It's not gonna change.

People are free to do what they want if the content allows it, but I do think that they should know that they could be doing more damage to contribute, or at the very least use an essence that increases HP or something. Something is better than nothing, especially when the content is scaled for essence use. That's my entire point at least. I won't harass anyone in game about it. Heck, I probably wouldn't say anything. But it's obvious what an essenceless run looks like compared to a run where everyone is decked out in some sort of essence.

You do you! Seriously. But you could, and should, be doing a lot more if you had an essence equipped. Again, that's my entire point. I feel that everyone should be contributing in this way. Makes life easier for everyone is all. I just never expect it, much to my own dismay.

Because people who are chill and playing at their own pace use the duty que. You will get every person of every capability in there. When I go to do savage I don't do it with randoms I go with FC mates and friends. You put yourself in a situation where you have no control over other people, who you do it with and how THEY play. Then proceed to whine about it instead of using your own agency to make your play time better for yourselves. YOU have the problem and you expect others to comply with you. Get over yourself.

It's too bad clicking the queue or register button isn't too much "work" for players who won't bother, and seemingly have no care for the rest of the players in the instance.

I will literally never understand why some players might justify wasting not only their own time, but everyone elses too. I think it's a very rude mindset, but that's just my opinion on the matter.

This is why I envy the JP datacenters, as they seems to have some sense of what the word "coop" and "others people times". NA...NA is a dumpster fire. I am glad they don't listen to us at times.

Nothing wrong with informing, and I am aware that most of the raid using essences vs. not using essences makes a real difference. 1 person doesn't, though, especially if that person is a DPS, because skirmisher isn't the massive DPS increase that the tank and healer essences are.

What you should try to understand, though, is a lot of people are essentially doing Bozja because it's holding their relic hostage. Expecting real commitment is unrealistic; it may just be enough that the relic is keeping this content alive for the people who like it, even if it's doing so by forcing the non-committed to grit their teeth and bear whatever minimum they have to suffer through.
