Speed and efficiency is incredibly fun lmao.
"Go play WoW" "You have a mental disorder" and you got the balls to call other people toxic?

I always find it highly entertaining to watch when these self proclaimed "paragons of virtue" with their holier-than-thou attitude berate you for "being toxic" (which seems to nowadays just mean actually putting some effort into what you're doing) just to then turn around and display the exact behaviour they complain about. And people still claim that toxic casualism doesn't exist, lol.

That particular poster has a bit of a history of this (along with another I've seen here), but yeah, I've seen all kinds in this thread alone.

I even have screenshots of conversations in party chat just because their ADHD has to have them finish by a certain time.

can you post them? censored of course, or if you're too worried, PM them to me or something, I'd like to them!
calling someone mentally ill is a big yikes for me, tho, it's 2021, I mean come on

I've done DR like...thrice. I was one of those people who didn't use essences at all for two runs. Then, I decided to ask some healers IN DR about which essence(s) and actions I could use on a budget. They gave a list of what I could use the next time I came. So, my third run of DR, I brought some essences and actions with me. Guess what? My performance skyrocketed from dying constantly to actually contributing above the bare minimum. If someone like me who has "barely any time" to farm a few mobs for 20 minutes, then SO CAN YOU. Bringing some sort of essence or actions will help your party and the raid so, so much. If you ASK NICELY about what kind of stuff you can use, people will help you. Stop making up excuses; You just don't want to help yourself and everyone else around you. It makes the run so much easier for yourself and the raid, even if you bring SOMETHING basic. It doesn't have to be the super extreme or rare kind either.

Some people only have a set of time to farm DR in their own lives. Are you saying these people's time is irrelevant, because you don't want to do the bare minimum? It may be "in a hurry" for you, but a lot of players only have a certain amount of time to play a day, or days in between. Some have full-time jobs like you, and still bring the bare minimum to contribute.

So, where do you stand?

Be careful your lack of patience and ADHD is showing. MMO's who does speedruns in MMO's?

I don't think they have screenshots of other people calling someone mentally ill. It looks a lot like they're the one calling people mentally ill just for wanting to go fast in a duty.

The HP and defense from essences have less to do with you dieing less in DR than the fact that you learned the fights more. Two hits by avoidable mechanics kills you no matter how much defense or hp you have.

Buddy went from complaining about being harassed for not using essences in DR to accusing Liam of having a mental disorder for daring to have standards and telling him to "Go back to WoW".

Gotta love it.

Be careful your lack of patience and ADHD is showing. MMO's who does speedruns in MMO's? What do you get out of speedrunning it's not like you are getting paid nor getting anything out of it correct? Isn't the game supposed to be fun not treated as a job these days?

So now you are harassing people for enjoying speedruns of content? When you've done something hundreds of times it's fun to see how fast you can push yourself.

That wasn't who I was referring to but you are right. Velvet is not handling themselves very well either.

The materia are literally like 10k on the market board, what is this argument even about

10k too much. Fuck essences I like my 1h DR runs. If I even by chance get essences I don't even use them because of the emotional value they have to me.
