    And this is a team game.
    lol, this community is like a parody of a terrible corporate training video.

    It's a game. I'll try to play well because pushing more buttons is more fun for me, but that's about it. I don't need to always give 110%. I don't care that TEAM stands for Together Everyone Achieves More; chains are only as strong as their weakest link; or whatever other corny lines you saw on a poster once.

    That's true, but what's 100%? Using essence is not even 60%. We're talking about bare minimum there, about preparation.
    What's your next line "Sometimes I'm allowed to leech, there's other people leeching!" ?

    No, 100% is showing up to the thing I queued for and playing to 100% of my present capability. Me doing additional work outside of what I queued for to provide additional boosts to the run is what's generally referred to as working overtime.

    Wait, so showing up is already an effort? And just being in front of the PC/console pressing buttons is the rest of the effort?
    Isn't it like going to class, taking notes and doing nothing next? Not even bringing furnitures? Were you that one guy in my class that always had to borrow books/pencil?

    Showing up is part of it, obviously; can't do anything if you're not there. Then playing as well as you can is the rest of it.

    If I don't need pencils or books to do what I need in class then I probably won't bring them. I certainly don't need essences in DRN.

    Something is not adding up! Sounds like someone wants to get carried
    Who said I don't have the time? I have plenty of time, I just don't want to use it farming essences for no real reason.

    It's also not about getting carried. I don't expect anyone else in DF to use essences either, and I'm not bothered when they don't.

    Homie did I mention your name? Though I will say this if you are in a group where majority of the people are using essences and you are not yes you are getting carried intented be damned.

    Just be honest you are fine with 45 min run cool, but I bet you are also cool with shorter runs. Just admit you do not mind other picking up your slack aka being carried. I can respect that, I just wish people were honest about it.

    I also hate this content but I farmed out essences so I could join the full essences runs in PF to get out that hell hole sooner.

    Alright, I'll bite, so who was the "someone" who wants to be carried you were referring to? I'm really the only one still talking here. Addressing an imaginary friend of yours? No need for you to backpeddle.

    Also, why would I mind other people using essences? I don't mind DR so I honestly don't care if it takes 40 minutes or 20. I'm not strapped for time; I just don't want to spend my gil and I don't like the Bozja overworld, so I won't be farming it. Simple as that.

    You don't want people to admit that they don't "mind" people using essences; you want them to admit they're trying to get carried. Why don't you admit that, instead of trying to adjust your narrative to my specific scenario.

    He said "sounds like someone wants to be carried" in a context where I was the only one here talking about not using essences.

    Are you people really so cornered and out of ways to defend your position that you have to pull this disingenuous crap?
