I respect OP when he says that there is no right or wrong in being a runner or completionist, but I have to say I slightly disagree, and am personally annoyed by those turd blossoms, aka "runners", whose actions always end up affecting MY game. For example, on the Mars strike. As soon as we spawn, there is always some ass hole who decides to just sparrow away into the complex to the first door, not even bothering to go into the building to deploy the ghost so that the door will open when they get to the first checkpoint. This happens to me 90% of the time, and it's gotten to the point where, if I go into a game where the other two players just make a dash for the door, ASSUMING that I will be the one to open it for them by staying behind, I just put my troll hat on and kill enemies in the surrounding area until they either depart from the strike or they bring their happy asses back to the building and deploy their ghost. I REALLY have a problem with these so-called "runners". Not to mention, once that first door is open they completely skip that entire section and just move on to the area where you have to kill the three guards/tank. I understand that everyone plays the game differently, so I can respect OP when he says 'there is no right or wrong answer, but you can bet that there's gonna be a problem whenever that runner that goes off and does his own thing gets killed in a restricted respawn zone (which happens way too often), and it pulls me out of what I'm doing, which is killing everything that the 'runners' decided to skip and spawns me in that respawn restricted zone. At that point, being a runner is absolutely wrong if you can't complete the checkpoint without being killed. That affects MY style of being a completionist, and I don't think that I'm going to change the way I play because some jackoffs decide they want to get the end game rewards as quick as possible. See what I mean? Being a completionist doesn't hurt anyone, but being a runner skipping ahead and being the only one to die in a RR zone does. Therefore, all you runners can suck it. Unless you can do your thing without dying, in which case I don't give a crap what you do. The real problem is that I can't solo a Tiger strike. Or better yet, adjust the matchmaking so that I only get completionists such as my self.

    This poll is ridiculous.. by the wording a person running through a strike isn't a completionist, but in fact the fastest way to complete 100% of the game is to run through pretty much everything since all the environments and enemies are recycled... [u]Do you have fun killing the same enemies over and over? If so why?[/u] [b]Do you [/b]enjoy the XP you get? If so I can tell you 100 ways to earn XP faster. [b]Do you[/b] enjoy increasing your grimoire score? If so I can tell you 100 ways to earn grim faster. [b]Do you [/b]enjoy the game itself? If so why are you complaining about the one area in the entire game that this play style hurts you? [b]There is a HUGE difference between a person who goes to all the objectives and does them as quickly as possible, and those who skip objectives i.e. your Mars example. The first person is completely justified, the second should be punished as harshly as Idlers should be for the reasons you give.[/b]

  • So crucify this guy because he's wrong? Wow, harsh.

    If I'm crucifying anyone with my post it's the OP, not this guy. The guy who's comment I commented on is on opposite sides of the same coin as me.. the OP on the other hand obviously didn't think about half of what he wanted to convey before conveying it, which you can see clearly in his sentence structure and varying tone.

  • I couldn't have said it better myself. And in fact I didn't. There would be no problem whatsoever if the consequences of being a runner didn't affect me as a completionist. Which they often do.
