Community expectations

[Ryel]

The content was not designed to be speed run. In fact the developers have changes content to slow things down on several occasions. The implicit message there is that speed is not the intended method of play. You talk of etiquette, well remember that when you are next faced with someone who does not appreciate your efficiency. In fact you are the one wishing to impose your will on the game, those playing as intended are doing no such thing since they are playing as intended.

Not designed to doesn't mean impossible or even difficult.

If the devs wanted to actively shut down any ability to speed clear dungeons they have the means to do so by adding various traps / monster abilities to directly counter the style of play. However they choose not to fully knowing that the game is built and relies expressly on content repetition.

You are also under the erroneous assumption that I personally will not adapt my playstyle to the ability and desires of the party I queue in with.

If i enter a party and the healer says that they aren't used to large pulls or someone speaks up and says it's their first time i have zero issues booting up netflix on my second monitor and sitting through an episode of House (or Iron Fist come the 17th) as we make the slow crawl through the dungeon.

I wont impose my will on the party or kick anyone.

However there are cases where a party member is grossly (and I mean by a massive margin) under-performing their role to the point where the rest of the party is struggling to complete the content (as in they are an active barrier to content completion), it's at this point i might say something about it.

But yes I would expect etiquette to dictate that if you enter a team of 3/7/23 other paying players that you bring your best to the table and not expect others to carry your slack.
