Why is nobody here getting the "fun" part? If you don't have fun doing cluster farm, or any other method for getting those essences. But you still have fun in a longer DR run? Where is the problem for me or anyone else with similar attitude.

I farmed clusters to get the emotes, the mount is a derpy joke that I don't like since in general I don't like the machines in this game. I don't want the new hairstyle I think it is hideous and what I did want I now have. Just did a duty finder DR run took about 35mins, some use essence some don't. But I had fun with my FC members, a couple were first timing. Really not getting why you get so worked up over people not doing what suits YOU best. It's not the agreed upon "bare minimum" others have said, if it was there would be no discussion at all. It's like, there is party finder why not stop whining and use it? I don't que Diamond weapon in DF and expect it to be super efficient for me to farm it at speed. So why exactly do you expect it for bozja content? It is duty finder, it will ALWAYS be slower than a premade group.

I shall carry on my slow grind, enjoying myself. When I get an essence I will use it. Some I am keeping for savage.. and frankly that SO many people are still arguing with one person over how butt hurt they are people dare not play how they want instead is laughable. Idc what is most efficient, I care myself and my friends are having fun.

It's not fun to be bad/playing poorly. It's like being proud of a participation trophy.

My dps is fine, I enjoy myself. Whether you find how I play fun is irrelevant to me. I can clear whatever content I go to do comfortably. But imagine being proud of having the biggest dps in an online game. Ultimately it means nothing. It has less value than a participation trophy.

Dude if you're not using something easy to come by that increases your output by 60% your DPS isn't fine.
What's wrong with people being proud of themselves though if they're putting effort into what they're doing? What's with people trying to shame others for enjoying efficiency in this thread?

I won't clap back if they and you would stop trying to do exactly what you are whining about? You and every other is trying to shame people for not using the essences. If I have to sit miserable and bored doing cluster farm or spend the money I am trying to save. That is not easy for me to come by is it? What is easy and relaxing and enjoyable is to go into the duty with friends and get the clears. I enjoy being able to save someone from messing up a mechanic with rescue. Or saving them with bursty heals if rescue is on cd etc. Enjoy being efficient all you want. But don't sh*t on others for enjoying a more chill time, not doing the utmost dps and then bitch if u get clapped back at?

The amount of people teasing and trolling OP in the start of the thread and the amount whom throughout the thread have put people down for not using the essences. Don't try and act as though they are poor poor victims when they are actively trashing other people for how THEY play.

You come to group content - you have to pull your weight. No one wants to carry a lazy player because they don't enjoy effort.
OP came to criticize, got criticized back, ran away calling others toxic because they didn't agree with her/him. I guess this is what you call trashing on others?
I don't get what's so hard to get a few essences? You use one and it's gonna stay until you change class or leave the instance.

You chose to play a way that hurts the run and drags down the rest of your alliance whether you enjoy hearing it or not. Play leisurely in a single player game all you want no one cares. In a team-based setting though don't cry when your teammates don't enjoy you slowing them down because you're lazy or stingy.

It's not like I said anything bad about anyone. Once you pick apart something that is when everyone gets into shambles and cause a uproar. That is all this thread has become just because some people play a certain way that mainly doesn't effect anyone else. If you aren't dying, messing up mechanics then wth is the problem? Like people just lose their mind over dumb stuff its just a game for crying out loud but they expect you, me and everyone else to play like them or it isn't good enough. I rather play with friends and people like you. By the way it seems I would hate for others like that to be teaching they wouldn't have the patience and would berate people over a simple mistake that is the vibe I am getting

SE, can we get a datacenter in NA that has a barrier for entry? I don't want to be on Aether anymore.

Hello. Figure this be a wasted vent and useless but feel like the community isn't all that is cracked up to be. I feel like at least half the community wants other players to become perfect and be 150% better. I ran a DR with complete randoms and all I ever hear is get essences use essences etc. Have you ever thought maybe I don't have time to grind for fragments and hope that RNG gives me the essence I need?

Maybe tell the devs that the whole thing is stupid to rely on essence potions to buff up our DPS. Maybe they should of let our gear dictate our damage. I just feel like this game went from being fun to almost a job on how we have to strive for perfection or don't play.

I know it falls on deaf ears a few years ago as I was learning had a person use a parser to make fun of me in a raid back in SB. Of course nothing happened as always. People just turn a blind eye.

If players really wanted us to max out our DPS, they wouldn't constantly bitch whenever someone brings up using a DPS meter to improve his or her rotation.

it's not disrepectful at all. I allot myself enough time to run this and that if I go do something outside of that then it takes more time. I don't mind if I have to stay focus I have a lot of patience that is what I am saying. So if your saying that those people that don't have time and need to rush it. Then shouldn't they manage their time to do so like find a group of like minded individuals? Welcome to the human world where everyone has different agendas and playstyles. I mean I just got my weapon yesterday with no muss or fuss why can't people be like that then....this.

People have different lives and reasons as why they have limited time on things. If you never think of this, you're kinda selfish.
