Read whole post before please, before you decide to start throwing insults or snarky comments.

So, I recently came back to gw2 after pretty long break and before my break I used to do a lot of dungeons. Speedruns 95% of the time. Now that I returned, speedrunning started to feel like a job to me, rushing ahead just for that final chest/reward. I want to do some casual runs, no skipping, killing everything, because it’s fun and I get a lot of loot (don’t tell me to go to silverwaste, because this is not topic about most efficient farming or something). It really feels different for me now, if I get lucky and get good group that is, because casual run doesn’t have to mean we need to fail and wipe in every fight. It still should be smooth run, just with no skipping.

Sounds simple, yeah? Well it’s a kittening nightmare. Becuase people can’t or won’t read descriptions. I tried “READ: p2, casual run, no skipping, kill everything” for example, tried later even with caps lock. But what I get is usually:

1.) They come in and start rushing ahead. I ask them “Did you read description?” I get one of these responses:
a) Yes. (means he’s ignoring me and don’t give a kitten and hopes I won’t notice or just forget about “no skip part” and tag along with him and skipp stuff.
b) No… (bye then)
c) Yes, but why don’t we skip, it doesn’t make sense (Should I care what makes sense for you? It’s my LFG, you have tens of speedrun LFG every minute popping up and you have to choose mine “casual run” to come in and ignore my description because it doesn’t make sense to you that we don’t skip. What the kitten?)

2.) If not that, then I end up getting either people with 500 ap (which I can’t complain since I never put AP requierement in description, but still I get to see bunch of low AP people that trie4s to rush and skip stuff, which makes me sad. Had 3x 600-700 ap people in TA few days ago, that wanted to skip stuff even tho they were only once in that dungeon. How sad is that?)
And the last option is I get a guy, almighty pro kitten guy that feels like bossing everyone around, just because it’s casual run, so it must mean everyone is total noob?
So they start telling everyone how to do stuff and how to exploit evry part. (Dude, it’s kittening casual run with no skipping, what are exploits for?)

Like I said, I’m not just some casual who hates speedrunners, I know almost everything about meta, I’m also “zerk”, I like efficient runs, so I’m familiar with skipping and speedrunning. But when I was speedrunning I never joined casual run LFGs. I never joined 8k AP+ groups because I don’t meet that requirement, even tho we all know you don’t need 8k ap to do TA. I never kicked anyone because he didn’t perform perfectly. I only kicked those who deserved it like trolls and if someone was insulting others etc. If we were failing hard, I would just leave group instead of kicking. I never yelled at anyone. If I didn’t put speedrun or something similar in my lfg description, I didn’t expect of people who joined to do speedrun and to know all the pro tricks and I didn’t yell at them for stupid reasons.

Looks like skipping, rushing, exploiting is now even common feature of casual runs or people are really braindead and can’t read simple description.

This might have been better to put in dungeons subforum, but I wanted to put it here in general, because I doubt most people read dungeon subforum and this message adresses all players.

Another example for bonus facepalm: I put description that says “p2”, some guy joins and first thing he asks: “What path?”

i was lmao when reading. It seems to be a typical ‘disease’ amongst players (not only in this game) NOT to read description correctly or at all.

A casual run should be just that, but apparently you also came across the illiterate morons who fail to have a basic concept of ‘casual’.

Hilarious really.

Its not really a surprise that low AP players want to skip or try for a psuedo speed run. Majority of LFG runs are exp req. speed runs, and with the toxicity that is involved new players need to take what they can get to try and learn how to get into the common speed runs. It seems to be the nature of Dungeons in GW2.

Speed run, zerker, and exp req or gtfo. Which leaves little room for new players or players who don’t know the dungeons to learn them. One of the reasons I’ve stayed away from them other then a few storyline ones for PVP tracks. Never actually done a group path or fractal.

I’ve been playing since launch but never bothered much with dungeons till a few months back when I decided to work on Dungeon Master. I did pre-reading of basic guides, didn’t join ‘exp only’ runs, explicitly stated I was new to the dungeon and asked if that was a problem…

And still got raged at fairly often for not having everything down pat. So yea, trying to PuG dungeons via LFG is pretty toxic to new players. I still haven’t finished a couple paths of Arah because it just wasn’t worth the hassle.

As a player whose been here since the start and still playing. There are many dungeons I have still not completed just because the LFG tool is only used by speedrunning elitists. When I run content for the first time I don’t want to “speedrun” anything.

The same also applies with fractals, toxic raging speedrunners or nothing at all.

So I shall stick with my almost non-reward WvW play.

Nothing wrong with being frustrated with people not reading LFG if you’re after certain requirements, just so long as it isn’t followed by verbal abuse in-game, which I doubt you are doing. (I hope I’m right! )

As for the AP though: I’ve got 17,000+ AP – there are people with less than 1,000 AP that have been better at dungeons than me in the past.

The “What Path?” at the end made me chuckle a bit though! ^ ^

I’ve never joined a “no skipping” group, I prefer casual groups that are skipping, cause too many trashmobs are boring and there is a big field between speedrun and no skipping.

The issue I got with speedruns is that it is optimised and too easy. I actually like it when it gets a bit messy. However, killing all trashmobs is boring too. So my interest is inbetween.

Having said that. not reading happens a lot. I remember a group saying "Casual learning group looking for 2 more (lvl 80 only). So I joined, and found 2 lowbe’s (lvl 40-ish, it was AC) and a lvl 80. after that 6 people joined and left, cause they where expecting only lvl 80’s in the group. The LFG was clear bout it being a casual learning group and the level 80 requirement was only to not turn the average too low

The worse part however bout the LFG is how different people behave in PUG’s then in Guild groups.
I’ve litterally seen people being a total kitten in PUG’s being not helpfull at all, while in a guild group they are always happy to help out and take the time for newbe’s to learn.

I got 19k AP’s and I have still yet to get my dungeon master title; although I was one in RL in AD&D for 20 years, heh. I am old school though, and I like to take my time. Dungeons, to me, are something to be enjoyed, learned and not rushed. I can see the point of the speedrunners as time is something most players worry about and many players are impatient for the shiny at the end of the tunnel, hence I avoid the LFG tool. The problem for most players is more in the design of said dungeons of not giving enough loot for the trash (minions if you prefer) combined with the VERY high trash to boss percentage but that is ANet’s problem.

The LFG tool can be a toxic playground, your best bet is to ask the players before you get into the dungeon what their mindset is regarding said dungeon. Joining a like-minded guild would also be a good option, but as I don’t even bother doing them anymore I cannot help you there. I do wish you good luck in your journey though, may you eventually find enough like-minded players to fill your friends list.

Oh look a full nomads staff guardian. kitten. An anybody welcome party? Oh look a full zerker speed runner telling everybody how to play. kitten.

Lol. OP. That’s such a sad/funny/frustrating story. I have no idea what to offer to help, just my sympathy. Why people join something without being qualified or wanting to do what the LFG says is a mystery. My guess it’s carelessness, bad manners or illiteracy, none of which you’re going to be able to change. Good luck with your future LFGs.

I both know what you mean and do not know what you mean.

I can read I tend to respect the LFG’s

I run mostly l80 Exp, shortened runs. I have and still run Speedruns, I also run casuals & carry runs, mostly me making this decision is based upon my mood. I have however run some dungeons with ppl from one of my guilds (Being a WvW guild)…

While some players run speedrun builds, some use casual DPS builds… In my guild If ppl run dungeons they take their WVW builds.

These are generally high or over the top defence and or support builds. Damage is enough @ 1800-2200 POWER. I first didn’t understand them, I joined and ran glass staff bomber for AC runs, I was used skipping anything not neccesary. They ran in, ignoring traps and therefore constantly group healing while running through mobs, killing everything with decent mightstacking and protection and walls. I couldn’t take the punishment and did DIE 1 or 2 times and I switched armor sets to an old celestial set I had lying around and had the most relaxed run ever, we took a bit longer then speeduns 15-25 minutes for AC paths, and facerolled everything. I got more loot then I could carry, I have 146 slots enough to do 3 speedruns in a row. But doing 1,2 and 3 it completely filled up and I needed to salvage twice…. I got a couple more bags with t3,4 crafting mats. (yes linen and some cotton ) and had a lot of fun.

I’d appreciate a little more dps but in the end I think it was a different experience. In WVW there is no skipping… You cannot ignore the enemy zerg when trying to cap a keep or a tower. The mentality was different, and it was fun.

Trust me: I do not die (often or at all) in Zerker runs, but IF you have ppl who can facetank graveling burrows and just clean all bleeds 8-10 times in a row…. you are done when you are lagging around with your Ele. and yes I can bomb a graveling mound with a MS, but it’s different….

If you do not believce me, you go and run into a dungeon do all paths with 4 ppl on comander and suport builds. I did learn 1 thing: never move away from the commander… Which tends to be a valid rule in wvw as well

Being trinity game might be bad and feel old, but having a press key for high damage game is not having a clever DPS game, its a huge placebo to atrack players and anet pretends player are doing a great job, Anet bring the worse pve game to themselves, they created the atitude of most dungon farmers.

There is a big difference between “you need to be zerk and we all go down together”- parties and speedruns, where any taken damage is a bad thing.

While running staff ele your health below 90 % means a los of 2 + 10 % damage modifiers … which is a serious blow to DPS output and normally tends to be avoided. active defence and reflects/blinds aegis should be able to make a party invulnerable to damage.

I had speedruns where my only damage was jumps down stairs or triggered traps due to my own fault. Most Zerk meta runs do not have this mentality. Speedrunners res as well if something goes awry, this will never happen in zerk-meta parties, they just DPS on…

The soft trinity A-net uses might be bvroken, but of the 3 points being DPS, CC and support, the DPS and Support work find and CC is -mostly- useless.

Support can be booning and buffing but also contains healing.
DPS will hopefully be expanded to be DPS and DOT shortly.
The rework of CC’s should make CC minimally viable and maybe even moderately viable

No, you’re wrong.

Check my previous posts, I actually said I thought that would happen.

Or, what I actually said to someone, who was asking what they should do at endgame, was something along the lines of “…or you could make your own groups, with your own requirements and let me know how that goes – because, my guess is that they will completely ignore the description and will join and rage at you and/or will kick you from your own group!”.

I can’t remember exactly how I phrased it, but it was something to that effect.

As someone who runs at least 3 dungeons daily, I really don’t understand why people believe there are a lot of unkind people in dungeons, or even people who don’t read the lfg. Almost all of the time the people in my dungeon run including myself are as helpful as possible to any new players who do join. I usually join ‘exp 80’ runs just to make sure the dungeon is finished smoothly, but if a new player does join and asks if it is ok to stay, I will never kick them as long as they are willing to help, which 99% of the time they are.
Sure, there are some people who get frustrated with me about not running a zerker build (‘why are you running a sword/shield warr? You really should run a meta build’) but I just explain to them that it is the build I always run and I am used to and again, 99% of the time that is fine. There really isn’t any of the toxicity that people mention in lfg-made dungeon groups.

There’s a number of upsides to doing it with guildies instead of random people you’ll never see again after the dungeon.

I’ve been in quite a few guilds, trying to find the right one for me. Thing is, even though most of them were casual, they still ran dungeons like speedrunners, just not as fast and are not necessary full zerkers. Of course if I ask them if we can kill everything they will usually say ok. But I would then have to ask them every single time. Also I can’t get guild group up everytime I feel like doing dungeon. And I do dungeons a lot. If I have time I’ll try to do most of the paths that are otherwise popular for speedrunning, so that could be about 10-15 runs/paths. So getting guild group for that…. I’ve never got that.

Anyway, thanks for suggestion, it makes sense to find a guild, but it’s not as easy as it sounds, because like I said, even casuals seem to regularly go with most of the speedrunning tactics. Besides, this should not be an excuse for people to ignore LFGs and troll. Why can’t I simply put a LFG when I want to do dungeon and get sane people who can comprehend what “p2, casual run, no skipping, kill everything” means?
After all, I’d say one of the reason why LFG exist is to give people tool to find like minded people and do dungeon runs in a way they wish. But, yeah, I guess too few people understand that. I guess I’m a rare and weird sort, being experienced in dungeons, wishing for effective runs, while keeping it casual + killing everything. Well, maybe I’m crazy, but that’s why I used LFG tool so I can explain what kind of run I want. But doesn’t work most of the time.

I feel you 100% OP.

In SW, it can be a hassle to taxi people in for Vinewrath. My typical taxi for Vinewrath reads “SW/VW *LEAVE GROUP after joining map.” And even then people still don’t leave group. When I kick people they get mad and want to know why I kicked them.

When I ask them “Did you read the LFG?” *crickets."

I blame Anet. (And I feel it’s warranted.) It’s the zerg mentality of “ZOMFGRAWRGOGOGOGOGO!!” That’s been enabled by poor gameplay design and when regarding mechanics. Breaking that mentality is going to be hard though. It’s like trying to stop a dog from killing chickens once it’s got a taste for them.

I say kick them hard enough to leave boot polish on the back of their teeth and before you do. “Learn to read LFG.” or if that’s too complicated for them to understand you can always tell them. “L2P, L2R LFG.” I think that last one will be understood better for some reason.

Go full necro/ranger/ranged war only/etc….
Sadly, there is not really a way to get that kind of fun on LFG research.

Even if you put AP5k+ speedrun, no noob, you’ll still get 1~2k AP guys who tried to claim how experience they are to justify why they don’t need to meet the requirement to join.
They’d even lecture you about AP is not an indication of skills or whatever, which I really don’t care because they can’t even read properly.

It’s like a company is hiring “female” waitresses, then some males come in and tell you how good and experience they are, that we should hire him despite he’s not a female.

Honestly, people have a different understanding of the word casual.

To me, a casual TA would be skipping past a lot of the mobs. Bosses would still be killed/champs still. But a casual run to me isn’t killing every single mob.

To me a speed run is, stacking might/swiftness. All running zerker builds and using specific traits/skill sets.

It is possible, given that the LFG message doesn’t show the entire text unless you hover over it, people just missed it. Idk just a suggestion.

Can mods please stop locking threads that are constructive.
Just delete posts that are derailments.
