I know that you have all been waiting for this, and yes here it is!

Splatter Mcnasty. I know A.Net intended to make a passage that way. My guess is not that they would want new players to think they need a run there first ( trust me, that happens when a new player visits Beacon's Perch. There's a thread about it in Q&A every week. )
New players doing Kryta&Maguuma jungle @ max armour = no training for them. Once they hit the harder stuff, they'll start complaining. I've seen it. It's pure terror. It also spoils the story for them. Running != a good thing.

hire a runner = lack of training, these day even simple task like Final Blow or Napui Quarter mission many people can't handle. I have been repeatedly doing these quest for other to kill time. but the quality of player really low these day (not saying I am good, just some are worse than me who has a 3000 deaths record since release of Faction)

Er... well done. I made this run many many months ago before NF was released using A/W with Charge. Was quite fun, ran myself from LA all the way to Marhans Grotto (rest was obviously with A/Me though).

And runners don't ruin the game. The morons who get the runs on there first time through the game ruin it for themselves. Nobody forces them to.

Evilsod, the sheer amount of players who think they must get a run from Beacon's Perch to Drok's is unbelievable. There's so much advertising in there...I would be confused too.

The first time I played the game I thought I had to go through droks, I ended up running myself there as a w/e despite being only one missions away from ascension

This is a pretty poor droks running build as they go, I suppose if you don't have NF then you could do worse. But you could do better. This is going to be KDd every 2 seconds between lornar's and rankor's and it's got some poor skill choices like shroud of distress instead of heart of shadow.

Considering theres a Primary quest in Beacons directing them to Kryta if they try to go Droks its there own stupid fault.

Kk its a game,YOUR game, if u think ppl think they must have a run to droks then they're idiots simple, ignore them. Why should u care whether a bunch of idiots ruin their game or not, you can just carry on and laugh at those idiots later when they're stuck halfway through the game. Then the runners, smarter ppl who take advantage of the idiots for their own benefit, GREAT. Do you think they care if ppl ruin their game and get stuck, nope they just get tons of plats. Now who wins, the idiot who thinks he has to have the run, the runner, the people who frankly don't care, or the people who sit there complaining about people taking advantage of some dumbos at beacons perch. I'd either be the person taking advantage or the person who doesn't care, i don't care if some ppl suck, if ppl suck then i win, goodie. The people sitting complaining on the forum dont gain anything, because the runners don't care what u think either and neither do i, if i were u id just get on and play and stop complaining.

I can't imagine why anyone would choose not to use a Dervish for running Drok's (unless they don't have NF). Even so, running Drok's with a A/Me is quite annoying due to regular KD. This D/A build works great:

Running missions or to advanced locations is a great way for people to make money. Who cares if people get scooted along without gaining skills? Just don't play with them in elite missions. You can do everything else in this game with heroes/henches anyway (including hard mode), so who cares?

Runners run to make quick and easy cash. Thats why they are here. Most of the time when PEOPLE ARE LOOKING for a run its because they know what they are doing. I start at least 2 new characters a week and i always rush through the game because i know what i am doing. If you get to Drok's then you get max armor, then all you have to do is go back to Becon's and get a run to LA or fight even, the monsters are only like what....level 12? Then once you get there all you have to do is walk four feet outside LA to the next mission then do the next 3 or 4 missions in a row and you aren't stuck anymore! Problem solved.

Running is for people who know whats going to happen next in the game.

But people who do NOT have a clue don't know it's not meant to be.

Its not meant to be? They are gonna get there evnetually. And i think its more fun to win a game and be good at it rather than being left behind. Getting a run is only a bad thing if you are overpaying.

"Eventually". They missed half the game or played it with max armor. Then the fun starts. They flood the forums by asking "noob" questions about stuff they would've learned if they took the hard way. They're the reason for bad pugs in the post-drok's missions. I do not want to answer to another cheater again.

You obviously haven't been to Q&A much, especially pre-Factions.

I proved you wrong so now you think i am unexperienced? If so then what does that make you?

1 word knockdown

I always rush through to get max armor because I just want the pretty armor o_o; Also to help save money and to live longer as I play through.

Call it cheap if you want, but I had a friend run me out of goodwill when I first played prophecies, and I know having the max armor made it more fun for me because I could actually survive longer o.O Course the monsters are pansies now, but before Hard Mode was implemented they were still mean D: and without heroes you had the stupid henchies! D:!

But then after getting max armor, I go through the whole game. I've only been on the droks run once, and that was for my very first character and like I said it was from a friend. I was all "oooh aaaaah :O" at the shineyness. And then I port back to where I was and continued forward just a little bit happier and feeling prettier And saving more money than if I had crafted every armor upgrade I came to. Which I did up to that point.

Most of the runners are probably bored and need to get cash anyway. I've considered trying to work a droks run on my sin as well cos I want cash. having max armor won't ruin the game for anyone. Running through the whole game would >_> Some people have played already, some are little nooblets. what they do is their own business, s'there money. or if it's free even better :O

You try fighting through that pass with level 12 henchies only o_o or however low they are o_O; Not everyone has heroes or even access to them.
