People abusing party in progress option

[Velveteer]

How to be efficent with the amount of free time your given without being an enormous entitled jerkwad:

I work 64-72 hours a week, 2-3 days of that is 16 hour shifts, and even I don't do this. I still manage to find groups to do Coil with, still manage to cap my myth tomes very quickly (10~20min runs), and have a couple relics already with several Ilvl 90 items. I've never had to queue hop to get that completed and still have more than enough time to do what is needed. I even have time to vpn into my work domain and do a few things from home also. You're reason is invalid and boils down to sheer laziness. Get used to it.

I too work, and I can almost go a week without playing. Even still if I have more than an hour of playtime I'll gather my friends, or even hop on a speedrun pug in mor dhona.
If I have less than that, then why bother? Another day.
No matter how you slice it, you're still inconveniencing others for the sake of your time and justifying it by "oh i'm so busy busy busy busy" doesn't make you innocent.

Just give us two options when joining a DF queue:

- join ALSO party in progress;
- join ONLY party in progress.

That would solve a lot of problems.

^^ no that would make the problem bigger imo. An option to ONLY join running games is good for the quick progress guys and last thing we need is to pamper them. They need a behaviour check and no option that suits their egoism even better.

I joined 0/? or 1/? with parties that just lost a member because of d/c or any other issue. It's not always because they cannot beat a boss.
And those who cannot deal with a full dungeon are pathetic. You are no better than those people who cannot beat the first boss.

Please Camate, just remove the dungeon progress. That should be faster to fix and could get it done even before 2.1 patch. If they wanna join only max-1/max they'll deal with the penalty. And avoid adding a party in progress only option, there would be no more new parties out there.

As a player with limited time for full dungeon runs, my only option is to only accept a run at the stage that I can finish in time. Any action to stop this will to me only prove that SE only thinks of those with plenty of time on there hands. Casual players of which there are many pay the same amount of money to play as everyone else, so deserve to play the game to their time schedule. Again the little guy loses out.

20-40 mins is 'too long'?

No offense, but if u cant do a 30-14 min or even 6 if u run garuda with a good pt, why play a mmorpg?

Someone who doesn't have the time to complete like a 30 minute dungeon should not be queueing up for a dungeon. It's as simple as that. This has nothing to do with casuals, little people or anything, MMORPGs simply aren't meant for people that can only play 10 minutes at a time. You got single player games with a pause/save button for that, not MMORPGs.

Saying that you should be able to do dungeons in 10 minutes because you don't have enough time otherwise is the same as saying that Coil should be super easy and doable in AF gear with a random GC weapon, because you want to do it and having to farm DL/Relic is mean and SE is screwing over the, what was it? "Little guys"? Simply no. Just like Coil wasn't meant to be completed by everyone, dungeons are not content for people that have no time. The one to blame here are not SE, it's people like you that expect to get everything, even though you don't want to put in the work you should.

If the parties I have joined actually took a minimum time to complete dungeons, I would not have made my comment. With wait times for some dungeons still at a high, and not always getting a good group, you can be taking 2 hours for a dungeon. Again for the best results you have to play the game at peak times. Which is not always possible, the majority that disagree obviously are able to play the game at times that give them all the right conditions.

I pay to play this game because I like this game.

Wanting to play the game the way it should be played and having the time to do just that are two different things, and been penalised for it should not be an option.
