I completely understand the posters comments and I totally agree. There is a rush in dungeons, inevitable I guess as people are rushing to get the loot and rushing to get the xp and rushing to get the dungeon finished. This is a failure of the human species itself not exactly a failure of the game. We seem to be bred to rush through life and never slow down to smell the roses.
I think a simple solution is for GW2 to have a simple interface for it to weed it out. On the LFG system add in a required check box for rushing or no rushing or similar. That way people who want to rush can group up, I see them posted for the paths all the time and they are called speed runs
. The community could adopt a speed run labeling on its own for story mode but that is open to failure as it would need to be known and understood by everyone.
Getting left behind in a dungeon is terrible for any reason. In some cases you miss the XP of the event because some ^^% ran off ahead and in some cases you even miss loot all of which you should be able to get. I would suggest preventing the running off altogether but that would get flamed surely. I would rather see a range trigger where all group members had to be in the specific area before the event would start. We already have the ability to kick someone out of the dungeon for any reason with a voting system in the event someone tried to hijack the entire group. That system would force people running ahead to wait anyways. Getting left behind happens all the time and for many reasons, watching a scene, stuck in battle with some mob that the group didn’t kill or worse, your dead and the rushing group is always in combat so you can even port to catch up. With rushers I usually tell them to quit rushing and if they persist I let them rush ahead and die and then leave them that way. It’s a frustration that does not need to be there, especially for the casual gamer. Take a mother with kids who is playing a dungeon, one kids walks in and asks a serious of questions, she is tied up for 1 minute and when her attention comes back the rushers are way ahead, she is dead and can’t resurrect. No need for this at all, the 1 minute hold up should be part of the system of group play in the gaming world.
That’s my two cents.
