    Remove the dungeon timer!

    Just got out of a run of The Aurum Vale and I just got kicked out of it for violating the time frame. This has not happened to me until this, and i am 49.

    It frustrates me because I was healer, and the two DPS kept dying at Coincounter. They kept getting hit because they either didn't stun or evade his OHKO swing. So after 5 wipes we managed to finish it. By the time we get to the last boss, we get kicked out in the MIDDLE of the fight.

    This agitates me, because as some one who WASNT screwing up, I just got punished and lost out on an hour and a half of my life because I still need to finish it for the quest.

    On top of that, I cant vote kick the people who screw up, and if I leave I get punished with another 15 minutes of down time for something that shouldn't be my fault. So this game basically punishes you when other people screw you over, and you can't do anything to improve the situation.

    Since I had a character max.

    This also makes the game feel anti learning. Its like you HAVE to go to the website to learn the fights (which I already do) but it seems stupid to MAKE people know the fight before running the dungeon, and then wipe out all progress when they don't make it.

    Remove timer because it's bad for first time player in ONE of the 30+ dungeons, which will increase DF server load and player queue time for ALL dungeons. This doesn't sound like a good idea.
    And I do think ppl NEED to learn any of the end game dungeons before they go there, so it's good to have that habit before reach end game.

    Well that's how MMO culture works now they want everything now and if everything doesn't work out first try they QQ and want to kick people. The amount of people who come into DF expecting things to be perfect or expecting speed runs is just funny. To me if you want those things you'd never in a million years use a random group finder where you don't know what you are getting you find your friends,FC people or like minded randoms who have the gear and experience you need.

    The problem isn't not being able to kick people (which actually IS a problem) but the issue of the time limit. It takes some people longer to learn a dungeon. If you wipe more than three times you're almost guaranteed to time out, which doesn't help ANYONE learn the dungeon. It just forces everyone to re-queue, which for the DPS means waiting another 30 mins to have another attempt that may fail. It's why so many people just use FATEs

    First off, a 47 dungeons that is a part of a quest is far from being "End Game". Second it is stupid to require people to study a freaking guide to go into a dungeon. Let them learn the hard way.

    Plus how will it increase the server load by a significant amount? Isn't part of the reason we all pay 15 dollars a month is so they can load balance based on the number of active users? And how does this affect the queues? When these people fail the dungeon, they are going to waste MORE dungeon queue resources, because they have to requeue again

    Im saying either enable vote kick so I can vote kick people who keep failing the boss mechanics even after I explain them, or remove the time limit so I can take the time to walk people through it. I was patient enough to walk people through the boss fights to the point of beat it, and yet I still get punished. The only other option would be leave when I realize I am gonna run out of time and reque. Which in the end wasted 80 minutes of my life because I gained NOTHING out of it.

    I don't WANT a speed run. I don't WANT to vote kick people. What I am saying, is either remove the time requirement, or give me the ability to kick people who are messing up. I have patience to help people finish a dungeon and teach them the mechanics. But to later get punished for it is bull shit.

    I think WOW contributed to this mentality. Their auto que and super easy dungeon combo got players accustomed to rushing through content and encouraged the I want it fast, easy, and now mentality.
