    Maybe we would have something like that, maybe it would even make sense to do so, if every dungeon after level 65 weren't the exact same dungeon with a different wallpaper.

    And I think I'm already being rather generous with only calling every dungeon after Bardam's Mettle the same dungeon.

    Not necessarily. I'm going to expand further.

    We all know that the Duty Finder/Roulette is the quickest way to party up and do dungeons, whenever we queue solo - Matchmaking, in short. Take note of how I used quick to denote that there is no longer the need to set up a Party Finder with specifics, like strategy or how big pulls will be made. Since the theme of it is solely for the purpose of getting content done without the need to do all those hassles, it is imperative that runs must be done quick as well, is it not?

    Having said that, it is already expected that you know your rotations and somehow have a respectable grasp on how to do the dungeons.

    In case you wish to do pulls relatively small and/or tanxiety gets the best of you, there is Duty Support to warm up and get your rhythm going. Alternatively, you can setup a Party Finder tagged as "Learning Party - Smallest pulls only - W2W pullers are not welcomed" then queue with them. That will ensure that you will get your precious small pulls.

    Again, queueing solo is a different case.

    Always adapt when you solo queue. It's the rule of majority out there. You're no special snowflake.

    Even when there is early dungeon weirdness, like the skips in Cutter's Cry, it's not "omg is everyone okay with skipping? let's have a talk" but just "we skipping". And honestly that's so standard these days I never see people calling it unless there are very fresh sprouts in the party, and it goes fine with everyone on the same page. There are also some less common skips, but people tend to communicate those by running ahead and jumping wildly to show the safe path, instead wasting time typing. It's not actually good communication to try to force conversation for your own uncertainty sake, when it's clear others don't need or want it, and would probably just prefer you to be efficient about it and take charge. Or just let someone else do it if you don't want to.
