About damage essences in Delubrum/Dalriada

[Kaurhz]

I'm not trying to justify anything. I don't need to; the game already lets me queue without any essences, so my position is inherently justified. If you all want me to use an essence when I queue for DF you'll have to give me a reason... That's all I'm saying. Will my using an essence turn a 50 minute run into an 18 minute run? No.

I'm making a practical argument; not a moral one. I don't care about "what if everyone thought like you?" I can't control how other people think so why would I base any decision I make on that? It's pointless.

Yes, you've been trying for several pages to justify it. It doesn't turn your 50 minutes run into an 18-minute run simply on the basis of the take you have. I'm typically against this, but with takes like these, especially when you're in a group activity is what makes me wish these things had an enrage of sorts.

No, your argument is not practical, it's an argument where you seemingly elect to decide whether you consider yourself as part of a collective or not when it best suits your argument or your misapprehended efficiency. In honesty, at this point I have less regard or distaste in your essence use or lack thereof, and more just how you're trying to chalk it up to be more efficient despite the fact you can in reality use an essence and join a premade farm for significantly faster runs.

Let's narrow down the summary

You have no essences, join a group on duty finder, experience an average of 45 minute runs, even being lenient here. This guy has spent a cumulative time of 765 minutes getting all relics.
vs
You have someone who spent 2 hours farming 100 pure essences, they join a group of like-minded individuals, and they encounter 18-minute runs. They've spent a cumulative time farming for 486 minutes to get all relics, including the time spent farming the fragments.

Call it cumulative argument all you like; I wonder who has the better end result for time spent. This is my problem with you trying to chalk your argument to caring about efficiency on any level
