Even at lower levels, guild membership sometimes involves committing to attendance at meetings. This is particularly true for high-level players participating in raids, who are expected to be on-line at fixed times for several hours at a time. Playing with others involves a time commitment that is not always possible. I look forward to my first solo dungeon! Time Pressure In fact, some players spend much of their time on such activities. Although the equipment drops will no longer be useful at that level, except possibly for selling in auction, the experience and the satisfaction of completing the dungeon will still be there. However, this is a game to be enjoyed, not a statistics competition! Soloable Dungeonsįortunately, once you reach a sufficiently high level, it is possible to solo some dungeons. No, I do not know how to use macros in a fixed rotation to maximise my dps (or whatever). I have had a heap of statistics, which meant nothing to me whatsoever, shoved at me and then been kicked from the group. I have been left unresurrected, forced to make a corpse run, and then kicked out while trying to get back to the group. I have been sworn at and harassed because I won some equipment wanted by someone else, even though it was also a valid upgrade for my character. Since I play for enjoyment, I stopped imposing this on myself. It finally got to the point that I was feeling physically sick when entering a dungeon with a random group.

About 90% of my 30-odd attempts at being in a random group have been unpleasant and stressful. This is the prime reason why I personally have decided never to use the random dungeon finder again. It is not always possible for a single player to get back to the quest giver at the dungeon entrance, apart from queuing to play the dungeon a further time. The problem is that this often makes it impossible to succeed in dungeon-based quests, especially those which involve gathering a certain number of objects.Įven if this succeeds, everyone disappears from the group immediately after killing the final boss. Probably this is because they are using the experience to level as fast as they can, because they simply want to get to maximum level and participate in raids. It is my experience that most random groups rush through the dungeon at top speed. Although this can be a useful feature if it is otherwise difficult to find a group, it can result in very negative experiences. Many people are forced to use the Random Dungeon Finder if they wish to complete dungeons. Unpleasant Experiences in Random Dungeon Finder
