Beardimus✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭It depends.
First time, slow. Doing the quest, enjoying it, exploring the dungeon - getting the skill point.
If its a Normal for the XP boost - fast as possible.
Vet Helm farm (I only do rarely as I buy from vendor so I can save Dungeons to enjoy) quite fast - depending on group.
I always ask group who's in for what reason, and respect different paces.

randomkeyhits✭✭✭✭✭Just do them as they come, no rush.don't care about speed, do care about smooth.
If a run is smooth then it is usually reasonably quick too.EU PS48 -
Khenarthi✭✭✭✭✭
✭Just do them as they come, no rush.If I join a random (normal) group I am prepared to spend an hour with it. Yes I can get optimised elite members, or I can get newbies in random green gear, who need to run the quest and listen to dialogue. I sign up as a tank, but if I happen on a farm group of experienced people I have some back up DD gear I can swap to.
If it's for a vet dungeon then I hope people will know what they're doing, having completed the place on normal before for the quest/skill point, etc. But it's still random, so I'm also prepared for the worst (as in, wiping often and having to explain mechanics, or the group collapsing if it's just not working).PC-EU4 -

cpuScientist✭✭✭✭✭
✭As fast as possible, go go go!For vet I have patience. I understand it is harder and will take the time to teach if need be and members are willing. For normal it's gogogo, I am either doing a random normal for xp and want that to be useful so go quick, or trying to farm gear and to be efficient again need quickness. I do not think if you are looking to listen to the dialogue and explore the place that group finder is the place unless you specifically say so at the start and go with the vote, I think a Guild is a better place for that knda gameplay.
Also no tanks just a heal and 3 dps or 4 dps with self heals. Unless the tank is also gonna be healing shielding the group. I never care though for normal as unless I'm on a brand spanking new toon I can just pull the normal anyway.0 -
victoriana-blue✭✭✭✭Just do them as they come, no rush.Slow enough that I can play the mechanics. ;p

jaschacasadiob16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭It doesn't really matter, as long as they can see how sexy I am. Which means don't ask me to disguise as a pirate @blackhearts.
Seriously, mainly with DLCs dungeons, I usually don't mind training people. No hurry, no drama for a wipe. It's a matter of learning the mechanics and having fun.

iiYuki✭✭✭✭✭As fast as possible, go go go!Even when doing the quest I try to go as fast as possible, the only reason you are there is to get gear so you might as well get on with it.
If we wiped though it tends not to bother me when people listen how to do it, it only bothers me when I or someone else explains the mechanics and they keep failing especially when they'release so easy like bash boss when they're casting or some *** and they don't or you have to run in as a caster and try."Play how you want... unless its not how we intended you to play in which case we'll nerf it".

Nestor✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Just do them as they come, no rush.The difference in time between doing a group dungeon as fast as possible and waiting for the dialogs and doing some poking around for Chests and Heavy Sacks is like 5 minutes. So I do them as fast as the group wants or needs to.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Magdalina✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭Just do them as they come, no rush.I don't actually care about speed, I care about progress.
If we spend 2 hours on a boss but people are communicating, learning and doing their best and you can see them begin to succeed with mechanics they have failed at the start, I consider it time well spent.
If we spend same 2 hours wiping on a boss(well, highly unlikely to last that long in this scenario I guess) with me healing, having agro and doing 80% group dps while the other 3 are ignoring my advices and dying to very same mechanics again and again even after being told how to avoid them 25 times, or actually telling me not to tell them how to play...yeah no thank you.
I never pug for completion though. I pug for fun, meeting new people and the nigh extinct these days pleasure of teaching/seeing new players learn.Edited by Magdalina on September 8, 2017 12:14PM3
