OK, just don't get angry if they boot you, I guess? /shrugs
Whatever. There is something weird about this game's forums that everything has to turn into some elitist vs scrub argument.
Well I'm here waiting. It's never happened and as soon as I zone in I'm outta there like a fart in a fan factory. Most people are just happy to be carried because 99 % of the people just want the loot.
If you see "Balsagna" in your group get to kicking cause I'll probably be on the first boss while you're discussing the first trash pull.
So, in your view, the dungeon is all about you and getting what you want and to heck with the rest of the team being able to accomplish what they need to?
But if they can solo it, then why are they in a group to begin with? You can literally walk up to the dungeon entrance by yourself and just stroll in, and do it solo. If you use dungeon finder, then you should be considerate of the rest of the group. All it takes is 30 seconds at the start to ask other people if they're ok with a speed run.Everybody signed up in GF to complete the dungeon. Nothing else was agreed on.
At that point if one person can solo it they may go ahead and do so.

This. There are guilds they can join to find like-minded people who just want to do speed runs for the sake of farming. But that takes too long to put a group together that way, so they don't want to bother. They can also get on their horse and ride to the dungeon entrance to solo it, but oh no, that would take too much time, too. (And God forbid they have to wait 15 minutes for the dungeon to reset afterward.) I can only assume the reason they use dungeon finder is 1) it's fast and easy, and/or 2) they use it as an ego-stroking device so that they can brag about how they rush ahead of everybody else and kill the bosses first. (And by the way, I'm only referring to those people who are being inconsiderate of their teammates by not asking them first if it's ok to do a speed run, I am NOT saying everyone who does a speed run is like this.)Dysprosium wrote: »Exactly- if you aren't going to play as a team player - solo it. Or at least confirm that everone is good with speed run/don't have quest etc....There is no I in team. Those that do not care if other group members can also accomplish their goals just shows that they have no consideration of others. Those who hold the view that it's all about me me me and accomplishing my goals and everyone else there is there as a means to my ends should find some friends that have the same desire to run the content the same way- oh but wait those people probably don't have friends- because they are selfish and self centered, and have no choice but to rely on group finder.

OK, but that right there is the rub for the player the OP referred to. 'GROUP finder.' Not follow Blitz-y the Trailblazer.
Its a group of 4. That's all I am saying. If one is being a putz, whether trying to shed the other 3 in a speedrun (that the others don't want), or is total anchor, kick 'em and move on.
Just don't try and sell Speedy as some saint the other 3 should be thankful to have met.

But that then leads to the initial question. If they can solo it, and they clearly don't want to wait or be inconvenienced (which I am not saying is a bad thing, and certainly not implying that they should have be), why queue in the first place? Wouldn't it just be easier and less of a headache for them to jump in solo? What are they possibly gaining from this exercise? That's one of the brilliant things about this game, we can enter everything solo, or duo if we want. I love to solo and duo stuff. Its great fun. But I go in as a solo or duo with the express intent of doing so.

1)Theres a damage buff if youre queued (at least it used to be like this)
2)4 drop chances are better than one
3)You cant reset the dungeon solo
4)Extra dps is still extra dps even if its low

1) That's fair I suppose. I walk in more often than I queue so I would have missed it. Any idea how big the buff is?
Most of people I meet in game are nice, though.PurpleDrank wrote: »
2) That's assuming they're going to give it to you. I've seen plenty of people flat out refuse, or that just vanish without saying anything the second the last boss goes down. Certainly not something I'd rely on (in fact I'd find it especially frustrating if someone did get something I needed and they either needed it or wouldn't trade it).
You cant, theres a cooldown. And sometimes it gets stuck, happened to me with vMA.PurpleDrank wrote: »

Sadly I had the opposite thing happen, I get kicked because I wanted to hear what the NPCs said since it was my first time in a group dungeon and everyone else had been through the dungeon many times so when I didn't move fast enough they kicked me which was kinda of a *** move...

If you're talking about normal dungeons, then it's because they're farming. Blame the current system which encourages farming normal mode for gear instead of vet (the same gear drops in both, so running normals is more efficient).
If you want to play as a group, then do DLC dungeons.

No. Knobheads are speeding through the Horns of the Reach dungeons too. Those are Dlc dungeons. Jerks will be jerks will be jerks regardless of circumstance. If they changed depending on environment then they'd have empathy. Knobheads have none.

I think this is just a trigger for them at this point.
They don't actually know what ele drain is, so any time anyone starts asking about 'ele drain', it's an immediate trigger and they think people are "telling them how to play the game", so their respone is to try and kick whoever is asking about it so they can continue their preferred way of play. To me that behavior is not acceptable, but I know others will disagree.

Honestly, this post is a good argument against "but who cares that group is bad, couldnt you just carry them?" posts.
One can never be good for entitled pugs, I guess.
Also, the empathy youre talking about is kinda one-sided. You're calling people you dont even know "knobheads", "jerks", but they should be courteous to you when you meet them in dungeons? Thats... Interesting.

Just like I. Your other thread I will repeat what went largely ignored. If someone zones in and immediately requests a skill from others, I have to assume that their build is so deficient that they can't play without that skill. That they built their entire character depending on another person's set up-- which means they need to be carried. I use ele drain, so your particular request doe st phase me, it's the fact that you requested it immediately upon zoning in as if you can't survive without it.
