Right, you've skimmed it rather than read it, which is understandable given half of it is people being rude.

With the ever-increasing speed of DDR, the issue is moving fast enough to land on the safe spots. Duty Support does nothing to solve this.

You're quite right playing WAR eases the problem a lot, and it is what I have been recommending to players in my FC.

However, this still leaves the tryhards frustrated because they find MSQ dungeons boring and "brain dead."
