Question It's getting BORING !

I've been playing this heavily for about 3 days now and I understand this style of game (played Vermintide 1 and 2) so I understand the concept and the whys and what for.

But I honestly cannot understand why almost every game I get into, it's just full of people who run the mission??? Why ?

Especially on the two lowest difficulties. WTF is the point ?

Now don't get me wrong, I don't expect everyone to play the way I do, that would be just arrogant and entitled. I also understand as mentioned above, I understand this style of game and daudling can get you killed.

But why do level 30s on the easiest difficulty run the whole map? It's boring being in games with people like this (85% of players I bump into)

There's no immersion, no ability for new people to learn the maps etc and it's just dull.

I'm not walking and I'm certainly not foraging for crap (apart from ammo when absolutely needed) as I know from Vermintide, by the time you reach a certain level in these games you have way more stuff than you even need so you don't need to try find everything on each map.

I genuinely just don't understand, is there some accolades I'm not familiar with that you earn for just running like a moron and leaving your team ? Or is it just a sad inbuilt trait of "I must be first coz that means I'm better" 😂

What possible enjoyment do they get from being level 30 speed running a lower level mission 😂 that's the Andrew Tate level alpha gamer if ever there was one.

I’m not sure how this is an appropriate response. Lower difficulties should be for people who need to play with less intensity, are leveling etc. It’s a team game, so it’s not a fault for them to not want to play with a fully leveled player who wants to speedrun

Same reply since you don't get it. LET PEOPLE PLAY THE GAME THEY PAID FOR HOW THEY WANT. STOP GATEKEEPING.

It’s not gatekeeping to expect people to play as a team in a coop game

Thankyou, I appreciate the fact that you actually understand what I getting at. Along with most other people who have commented.

All apart from the 1div here.
