Just because you can clear something in the allotted time does not mean it was intended to be, and just because something can be cleared by running around casting scathe, in an albeit slower pace, does not mean it was originally designed to be done that way.

Choosing to play that way with others is at best disrespectful to others' time. This is toxicity in one of its higher forms because it tries to flip the script on the typically toxic elite savage raiders demanding high dps, when in reality its just a bunch of normal people trying to play and get activities done in a reasonable amount of time.

As my husband said. I'm not in your linkshell, and the game made the party with no set rules. The content gets done even with me playing like this, and it gets done pretty quickly at that. Even if it did not get done quickly. I'm not in a group to make friends. We are just using each other for progression. If the game require me to play that way to beat the content. Than sure you can be upset and I would not belong in it.


The developers understand that tons of players like me. So my advice? Get use to it when it comes to doing DF. If that is being toxic. Well gladly will be toxic? I mean this weird "respect" thing when grouping must be a new player type thing, because like my husband said. UO, and heck even EQ. Did not have standards on pick up groups.


Now if I was in a LS, or doing high end content. Than your views would be on point. If you made a group and design the rules of said group. Again your standards would be acceptable. You did not make that group, and not one person myself or others have a right to tell anyone how to play what they enjoy in said group. That does not mean the group can't kick you though if you holding back.
