Speed Runs Suck

[Oreic]

While I understand that some people want to take time and travel through things slowly, you simply can't expect this from Duty Finder. If you want slow, gather a few similarly leveled people and run it until you learn the ropes.

Or join an FC that's willing to train you and help you through the steps. Most people who use Duty Finder have already run those dungeons before, and when you're leveling your second or third job, you just want to be done with it. Course, I'm the type that feels like he's pulling teeth when running dungeons so..

I'll always remember my first time at the continuum, just one week after the early access.

Pop in the dungeon with my husband, he's healer and i'm dps. We say it's our first time and... The tank starts speedrunning without a word.

We were in crappy gear, it was horrible to heal ; he did it, but it was not fun at all.
I've been a healer for years on Wow but i'll never heal on FFXIV because of speedruns : I go in dungeon for fun (and meet people), not to live a stressful moment.

And about the "just ask to go slowly", you know nobody listen. People just want their poetics/eso as fast as possible, considering the others are just bots.

Just wanted to say : I know that feeling, bro. That's just how mmorpg are now.

I would argue that while some people want to rush through things, you simply can't expect this from Duty Finder. If you want fast, gather a few similarly leveled people and run it until you've achieved your goal.
Or join an FC that's willing to rush through things with you.


While not directly related to this thread, I would like to point out that for new players it is extremely difficult to make friends. The community is often hostile towards new players. I, personally, have not found an FC that was particularly helpful, and I only have a few friends IRL that play, but we are not often online at the same time. As a result, in order to go through the main quest line, I am forced to go into DF to run a new dungeon. There are also long spaces between levels doing the main quest line, and when leveling a tank, it is more fun for me to do dungeons than grind quests.
Perhaps if the more experienced players were more open and helpful to new players, then new players would get better faster and then you could all do your speed runs together.
