Low Level Dungeons: Speedrunning is not cool with lowbies in the party.

That's like, not even true though, no matter how much people say it. There's no clear bonus at all unless you have your daily roulette active, and if you DO have low level roulette on a non-50 class, the XP per mob is jacked up to colossal amounts. There is absolutely no reason to not full-clear if you're grinding levels, ESPECIALLY with roulette. You only get your clear bonus once per day, and you only get massively XP-infused mobs once per day; why not kill all of them?

Just wanted to chime in on this. I recently decided to bring up my MRD. At first I wasn't really feeling him but things are getting better (coming from PLD of course). So I enter my first Daily Duty roulette, I get IFRIT, super ^.^ Quick and easy, done in minutes. Then I decide to to run a duty to top off my level, I get ToTo. Three of us are there for XP, MRD, SCH, and BLM. We had a BRD that looked about i95ish. Things started out ok, I was doin waht I normally do in low level duties, marking targets, communicating etc. After the first pull I said "Full clear OK with everyone?", BRD piped in with a "FFS, really?". LOL, You are in a duty with three people that are here for the XP, you joined the duty knowing full well that there was a strong possibility that there would be folks that need the xp...at any rate, his action and attitude went strongly down hill from there. Third pull he decides to play, take from tank by attacking separate targets. So I let him. He eats it, returns, and says "you're a sh*tty tank, you can't even hold threat.". To which the SCH says, well it would help if you focused on the correct target...lol. So he is back and we go for anther pull. Again he does the same thing. Dead he is and returns, the tells the SCH he is Sh*tty because he can't heal for crap. So in /s I tell the three to ignore him, it looks to me like he is trying to get voted out so he doesn't get the 30 time out. From there the douchbaggery continues, with extra mob pulls, more deaths of his own, a lot of jibber jabber, etc.

All because we wanted to get all the XP we could since we are actually LVLing. SR's shouldn't be expected in low lvl duties, they are a good option though. As tank I am used to setting the pace and usually run at a good speed. It just sucks to get stuck with people like this BRD. (the BLM in me wanted to vote kick him before the last boss, just so he would have to q up again to get his bonus, bit I didn't)

Just mah lil story

Had the same last night in Hakkue. The tank wanted a quick clear but didn't actually say anything until I opened a side door, seeing as I had been waiting an hour in queue trying to level a DPS, I wanted side rooms for loot and xp. The party was split so I said fine, speed run, I'll requeue after. We then reached the basement and the tank decides to jump right to the bottom, dying before the healer got to him and quit without a word. I ended up tanking until second to last boss when we got a replacement. Seeing as how leveling up anything bar a tank is god awful now hunts are providing all the tomes in the world, I wish people would have more consideration for others or at least state their aim at the start

Must admit not a fan of low level speed running dungeons, unless all of the people there are lvl 50, if people are below, especially if I'm on healer I will flat out not progress to the next room unless it's cleared, unless of course the lower levels want to skip too.
Usually I will see who we got then just say in party "full clear for the xp" only once had a tank disagreeing, which promptly changed when they noticed the DPS and healer was waiting in previous room

The main problem is that the exp per mob quickly turns into not worth it in low-level dungeons if running it through the roulette just for the bonus experience. When I am thrown into sastasha for example on a lvl 35 character, the experience per mob is about 0.1%. It's frankly not worth the time. The experience reward for clearing a FATE in the same time is much greater.

In Cutter's Cry when being thrown in at about lvl 48 or so, the story is very similar. In addition to that, when seeing a single dungeon for the 5th time in a week and about the 20th time in a month, you also can't really be bothered with clearing all rooms anymore. It becomes a bit of a drag.

It'd be better if the game would at least attempt to level match. But having run a daily low-level roulette every single day for the past roughly 4 months by now it is predominantly sastasha, tam-tara and cutter's cry, dzamael darkhold I get to see. With the first 2 being thrown in when I'm playing at levels up to around 42. And the last 2 becoming most common for the last levels.

I've yet to see AV and HM at all from within a roulette. The other low level dungeons I've seen a few times. Even if the LLR would not take the character level into account, but at least try and throw players into a wider variety of dungeons, it'd help a lot on making it less of a drag as well. And probably reduce the desire to just rush through it once more.

I ask the other players if they want all mobs or not.

When I'm tanking, this is what I do.

Adventurer in need bonus is always active.

When I do Low Level Roulette on my 50 WHM and I'm the only 50, I make sure everyone knows it is ok to full clear. I mean, I queue up and expect 30+minutes for the Low Level, if not more than that ... If I feel it is going to be a long one, pop up something on youtube and listen/laugh at it while I heal
