I see where are you going with it and going to ask: how is that relevant? Do you feel that people must value your time because you really really really want all those fifteen reward boxes tonight? ^^ If you really want FG1 speedruns - get together with guildmates, so you all could mutually agree on violating the promise you all gave by using the finder. That way, you're not forcing anyone else to be dishonest.

Not only that - the last dungeon I did one player teleported to fungal grotto and the others had already run ahead leaving me behind ... because i didn't know the dungeon or where to go I was running around like a headless chicken and then within a few minutes the activity was finished. I think the players just went to the final boss without doing anything else
I got my box reward and event ticket but really it was the worse kind of experience. I would have liked to do the dungeon with others as I get some satisfaction of us all working together and completing it !
I have enough tickets now so won't do one today but in the future would like to complete more !

@Mureel , meme pictures somehow mean to back up your point? Yes, I know it's hard to grasp, but when you use finder, you declare that you want to run the dungeon the finder will give you, with people it will give you. More so, if you'll read into the terms of the event on the web page, you will see that reward box is awarded specifically for the dungeon that results from using the finder with 'random normal' or 'random veteran' selected. So yes, don't be surprised. When you queued, you knew it could be nICP. Don't want nICP? Don't queue. Still want to cheat and jump to different dungeon? You're naughty, but at least pick three more naughty ones from guildies, don't force random innocent people to be naughty too.
Well good - you have 51 other weeks to take 30 min to do 10 min dungeon.
Group with your friends or learn how to ask.
You will get a random dungeon reward every 20 hours from the last reward received. In order to receive the bonus reward, you must queue for the dungeon as a random dungeon using the Dungeon Finder. If you queued via the Dungeon Finder, you will be eligible for the reward. If you were manually invited, you will not receive a reward.
The rewards and experience are automatically sent to you after the final boss of the dungeon dies.
You can read more about dungeon rewards here.
Here’s what you need to do to participate:
Navigate to the Group & Activity Finder
Select Dungeon Finder
Select either Random Normal Dungeon or Random Veteran Dungeon
Select your role (DPS, healing, or tanking) and queue up
In order to earn a Mysterious Reward Box, you will need to complete the dungeon by defeating its final boss.
Note: You receive Mysterious Reward Boxes as part of your character's daily random dungeon rewards.
Das ist sicher nicht im Sinne des Erfinders, wie man so schön sagt. Allerdings verstehe ich auch, wenn jemand z.B. in der Mittagspause oder bei begrenzter Zeit im Spiel unglücklich ist, wenn er bei Zufallsverliesen eines der komplizierteren oder längerwierigeren zugewiesen bekommt.
Ich sehe keinen Grund, das zu ahnden aber vielleicht können wir es spieltechnisch für die Zukunft unterbinden.
That is certainly not in the sense of the inventor, as the saying goes. However, I also understand when someone, e.g. is unhappy in the lunch break or limited time in the game, when he gets assigned to one of the more complicated or longer-lasting random dungeons.
I see no reason to punish this, but maybe we can stop it for the future.

Ist es erwünscht, das zugeloste Verlies zu verlassen, um ein leichteres zu laufen? Nein.
Ist das ein Exploit? Kann man diskutieren, weil es das Spiel ja nicht verhindert. Es verstößt aber klar gegen den Designgedanken eines zufälligen Verlieses.
Werden wir es ahnden? Nein, denn abgesehen von der Tatsache, dass einige den billigen Weg gehen und sich Inhalte zurechtbiegen, entsteht anderen Mitspielern kein Schaden. Empörung ist da übertrieben. Man kann höchstens Mitleid haben haben, wenn Leute aus Faulheit lieber jeden Tag die Pilzgrotte laufen statt such abwechselnden Herausforderungen zu stellen.
Sollten wir es nich weiter breittreten? Nein, denn je mehr drüber reden, desto mehr werden in Versuchung kommen, es ebenso zu machen, weil sie nuch die "einzig Dummen sein wollen, die den schwierigeren Weg gehen".
John_Falstaff wrote: »@The_Saint , @sudaki_eso , for one, it's from admin, not community manager, there were disagreements in the past; second, punishing people for the exploit isn't even the subject of the thread. Yes, he does state they won't punish people, but what we're discussing here are different; one is, whether it's exploit or not (not only 'yes', but it's against terms of the event, even if they're going to be lenient about it), and another is the practice of pulling random teammates into FG1 without asking them. So, those two things.
In essence, it is an exploit. It's basically a similar thing to the exploit in Asylum that happened not too long ago. Back then, people got slapped and then there were cries - why am I slapped for it, I just got into the team, I did what everyone did, I didn't know we're doing some exploit. And I can understand those people, they may be absolutely genuine - they just ran along, did what everyone does. It's just they got rotten teammates who didn't bother to explain them what's going on, and here's the result, all involved parties get slapped. This situation with FG1 is essentially the same, the only difference is that trespass is minor, no leaderboards involved, and people aren't likely to be punished, but it doesn't suddenly make it less of a trespass.
