Dungeons.. Players skipping everything
Lol
A:You could say you are new and they could tell you what they are gonna do
B:The only rewardig part of dungeons is the end reward, and that was nerfed in HoT
C:Dungeons have been basically ignored by A-net for 3 years
Something to consider, the overwhelming majority of the things skipped are just trash mobs, basically mobs that have no mechanics, and no challenge. For the majority of trash mobs, the only thing required is applying a few blinds or stuns or maybe even passive aegis from a guard, and the entire party will kill them without taking any noticeable damage. You really are not missing much by skipping those mobs.
Also, I think skipping is a neat break from straight up combat. It is a chance to utilize other things that are typically not worth while in combat. For example, blasting smoke fields. Inexperienced players often don’t even know what combos are, this is a solid chance for them to learn, because fields are thrown around carelessly in combat. Additionally, it is a chance to learn about swapping to mobility weapons, and weapons that have blocks to keep you out of combat so you can keep running quickly. Weapons players would otherwise be fairly unfamiliar with because of their lack of damage.
for 26silver its is not worth killing them… if you do want to kill them go LFG put in:
N**B PARTY KILL EVERYTHING WATCHING EVERY MOVIE,
I`m pretty sure all the new players will join you
Hint: one of the challenges for the fractal backpack collection is doing a specific fractal in a very short time – impossible without skipping trash mobs in the earlier part. That’s not something old, but what’s got added in the HoT patch.
Interpet this whatever you wish.

Is this really how players are supposed to handle dungeons? Running through everything then abuse that mobs can’t jump? Seems to take the fun out of everything.
Most of the skip sections aren’t very fun to kill. Running past them to the next unique area is a lot more fun.
And you get flamed on if you don’t know every bug abuse in the game from the first time you enter a dungeon… You guys call this fun?
Most of the people who run dungeons have run the same paths over and over for years now, so we know most of the tricks. If you’re getting flamed for not knowing the tricks, it’s probably because you joined groups marked “exp” for “experienced” rather than “all are welcome” groups, which are more about messing around and showing others the ropes. Just be up front with your experience for a given path and join groups that are willing to teach you. IF you don’t know what you’re doing and join a group marked, “80s metazerk exp ONLY, need ele and mes,” then I’m not the least bit surprised that you’re getting flamed.
Something needs to be done about this. No wonder that this game is rumored to have no decent PvE.
Anet did do something about this: they nerfed dungeon rewards so we would stop playing them.
Even speaking as someone who enjoys dungeons, I would also be thrilled if they were to rework the existing dungeons a bit to make it more interesting and rewarding to play through them without skips or exploits. I doubt they’d bother to invest the time, though.

Everything I say is only in reference to PvE and WvW.

If you meant jade maw the clock starts at boss so you could kill all the mobs along the way.
