People forcing SRs in DF

[Lafiele]

Well I like to think that when I run DF WP, I never do "speed runs" but I DO do fast runs. As in, I group up certain mobs together when I know there is enough aoe and the healer can handle (usually 2 packs at most etc). My groups almost never wipe and even on the occasional time we do we still finish the dungeon in about 20 minutes pretty comfortably. I do however raise an eyebrow if I pull a small group and the blm decides to single target them one at a time and never use flare. Makes life harder for the healer and for the tank.

they really need to make an option in duty finder so you can select, what is your goal here in the dungeon? speed, casual, or first time

then people can select what they want and nobody has to argue or be forced into playing the game a certain way.

meh. speed runs. a pest in duty finder.

I just hope with the changes in 2.1 it doesn't mean that people don't just all of a sudden start queuing only for speed runs. -.-

While I've had my fair share of "bad runs", there were also times when I got a 12 or so minutes speed run where everyone went silent. Great tanks seem to figure out how much they can pull without saying a word.

Yeah, it can be annoying. Usually the tanks are in control of this though. Some of them will just run to the next room....and the next...and the next...and then they'll have like 15 mobs on them and be almost impossible for the healer to keep up, either because they're not adequately equipped, or weren't expecting it and are still catching up etc.

The irony being that by just rampaging ahead trying to rush everything, if anyone's new or whatever they're just making wipes likely which could make it more lengthy than the pace of an average run. You'd get it done quicker just by going at a steadier pace.

I actually got moaned at for being a Monk in WP by a BLM. Even though we finished it in decent enough time, about 15 mins? Okay, we can't AoE like a BLM/SMN/BRD, but I guess an extra 2-3 mins tops is unacceptable :P

Thats just an incompetent tank... If my group ask for speedrun I say ok. However I know my limits and how well the healer can heal me.

A better way to deal with people forcing speed runs is to just go AFK esp if your the tank. They can try to 3 man it if they want but it will still take them longer, don't drop group, that's usually what they want, do it thier way or leave. If they're being jerks to get what they want just waste a bit of your own time and go do something else.

this is exactly what i do, if i join a group that is acting like douchebags i will just afk or leave. i main a healer so my queue times rarely exceed 10 minutes and i usually have time to burn if im going into a DF instance. go ahead act like tools, good groups are a dime a dozen for competent healers and i can find a new one before they have even had time to wipe the spittle from their mouths.

Haha that's what I do when I play as Tank. I usually go semi-SR speed though, and most players I have partied with are okay with it. If anyone wants the pure SR, they really should form their own respective party instead of assuming everyone in DF will go at their pace. Since the people complaining the run is not "fast enough" on here or on their own specific server, however, it's no wonder they can't create their own SR group. No one likes playing with d-bags or complainers haha.
