Speed Runs Suck

[Cooperal]

I had a strange experience last night. Had a levelling roulette which landed me in the Stone Vigil. By the time we had killed the first boss and one extra group of trash, we already had 3 DPS who had dropped out. The other DPS and the healer stayed throughout.

I was choosing to pull all optionals as tank because I was enjoying the easy 2.3k per trash and we were tearing them down quickly and without hiccups/risks. The DPS that stayed said he was happy (I ultimately got 2 commendations) but noted how some people don't like killing optionals because they just want the daily. The most annoying thing about that is that I am completely happy to honour requests for a speedrun but they all left without a hint. Some people.

I get wanting to play MMOs like they're a singleplayer game. Some people like to be alone but still know other are out there. But when you jump into a crew and are that adamant to avoid conversation, that's when you're not worth having around.

Seconded: good communication is key, and a measure of courtesy towards the group you're in. And it would have been fair to provide an explanation - thus, room for agreement / a proper, happy medium - when instead they just marched out of the instance.

As Unglitteringold (Gen) mentioned previously, it's the kind of attitude that makes it harder to estabilish the bond of trust you need to keep a party going, especially early on, when you're new to the game and the job.
