ACT was the only thing that made Rift entertaining the last couple of months I played while rolling through the dungeons.
The zones had no more challenge so trying to improve DPS through a zone made it entertaining.
A lot of the time people would randomly ask if anyone was running ACR so that they could see how they were doing.
Not once did I ever see anyone bitched at when the numbers were posted in group chat.

It was the same in EQ2. However there it was common to know what DPS and HPS were needed to even be able to complete a dungeon.
We could tell pretty early whether completing the zone was possible. if not we just moved to something else. It was great being able to take a pug to another dungeon if the group clicked and we were having fun.
