So I lol'd

The other night I was looking to run a shroud on my cleric... Their was one up.... Posted as "15 minute shroud, bring your A game and have the right weapons, no shrining or looting til the end...." However, this shroud wasn't looking for a cleric, (the party leader was a FvS, apparently didn't need any backup), so I went out into the Vale and did some slayer... Spend about 20 minutes out there before getting bored... still no other shroudage going on... However, that fist shroud still hadn't filled... I just laughed and continued on my way...

Ok, I understand the speed run thing, but when it takes 1 hr to fill, is it really a speed run? I don't see a 15 minute run taking 15 minutes when I wait an 1 hr before we start, I see it as 1hr 15 minute run, with 1 hr wasted time. Id rather take 40 minutes in the raid, and 10 to fill than that... Especially when it's a late night PuG. Oh well... some things you see.

I just figured the leader was going for a personal record. Didn't think he was running it because he need the loot. But who knows.

Maybe he ran the shroud 2 or more times in that hour without completing and filling up spaces after a few ppl left for whatever reason? ^^

Sounds like one of Docsin's speed runs.
Yeah, he doesn't care about time it takes to fill, he tries to set new records. I've done a couple of 19-ish minute runs with him, tons of fun.
And also an elite shroud in the mid 20's.

No, The half-full run with the same people and I was watching that run in case they decided to just take whatever and open it up... But thanks for playing...

Not every speed run is solely for the purpose of saving playing time. Some people enjoy just trying to see how fast they can do the quest. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Of course if it was an attempt to just save time, it failed. But I doubt that's the case.

Like I said, yeah I get that part... But having done one of these "runs" with this person before, having him go off because it too 33 minutes to complete vs 25 (what he was looking for that day) and freaking about how much time we wasted.... It just makes me laugh... When you wasted more time just putting the group together....

I do agree with you in general though...many times Ive sat waiting for a bard to join for 15 minutes because "they make it go faster", when if the leader would just have accepted a warm body we would have been half way through the run already...
