Dungeons not fun and its not even Blizzards Fault

Sure I do. I’m a player, who knows how this goes. And a very long time player at that, with a whole hell of a lot of toons.

Yer not gonna get me to shut up that easily, dearie.

This first week, M0 is going to generally be slower than Normals and Heroics. People are pretty off the mark on why people go fast in easy content.

This is why I don’t tank nor heal anymore…heck, I don’t even do dungeons anymore. I used to do them all the time.

When tanking, if I move too slow, the DPS start pulling or complaining. When healing, I have to move so fast, I can’t even stop to loot. Those who expect speed runs have ruined the dungeon game for me.

Oh Darling, the same can be said of speed racers as well…forcing everyone to play that way.

I think the only dungeons I ever remember needing a good hour to run and CC being semi-mandatory was when they remade Zul Aman and Zul Gurub heroic versions in Cata, before they were nerfed hard, and that was for full clears with achievement attempts. Maybe LBRS full clear if new people.

Oh Darling, who says you are the majority? The fact is you have to communicate with others do decide how to run an instance not just yell GOGOGOGOGOGOGO.

Unfortunately the “Gogogogo” mentality is kind of burned into WoW players. What’s funny is how many of the most unwilling to budge of those players- aren’t all that good.

The problem is not speed tanks. Ive tanked since vanilla and enjoy it. I pull as much as i can comfortably tank with as little down time as possible.

The problem is everyone who joins a group yells “ go go go go go”

I’m not on a caffeine buzz twitching in my seat trying to finish asap.

The irritating thing to me is every dps pulling way too much just to get me to move faster.

If i happen to die the curse me out and kick me.
This is not a m+ dragonflight thing. It was going on in timewalking prepatch dungeons.

There are a lot of toxic people who just want to be jerks. If you want to make the experience better, kick the people causing a problem.

It’s only that way because dungeon designs allow it. There are ways to design dungeons such that trying to zip through at warp 9 practically guarantees a wipe.

Of course this would also necessitate dungeons not being constantly spammed like they are today, but I don’t think that’d necessarily be a bad thing. It’s always struck me as rather odd that in an MMO where one of the selling points is a huge seamless world, players spend 99% of their time either idling in a city or tucked away in cubbies behind instance portals.

Oh I know I won’t be able to get you to stop talking about things you have no experience with. You’re good at doing that.

Any of those design queues would break M+ hard.

You can’t tune a dungeon so that it already prevents mass pulling on M0s without making it impossible to run at any keystone level.

Entry level content is easy. Always will be.

I did actually today. Went at DF dungeons one more time making my own group. I had one person I was getting to know in it.

I was encouraged to go faster several times in the dungeon by dps. They want you to pick up whole rooms so you don’t even know what abilites are coming at you.

It’s a trash experience. And I started realizing that the dungeons aren’t even that fun lol.

And they love that vacuum mechanic this expansion. Smh

Except that these posts are making it clear that the speed runners are the majority of players in the majority of dungeons, not some occasional thing.

Better than trying to dictate what goes on in dungeons you’re not even doing.

I mean, you got yourself when you said :

When you get around to it, you might have a say. Might.

Because I totally don’t have a clue about how to run dungeons, amirite?

Totally.

Yea in FFXIV you can normally only pull 2 or 3trash packs before your at Boss. It still only takes like 15 to 20 minutes to clear an instance because bosses do have decent amount of HP. I like how in FF the trash is only a small amount of the instance. While in wow it feels like trash most of the instance. So naturally player will pull 8 packs of Mobs.

Thats good for you, some people have severer social anxiety and that might not be an option for them.
