General Community Attitude

In The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), the community's reaction to requests for a slower dungeon run can vary widely based on several factors, including the group's composition, the dungeon's difficulty, and the players' experience levels.

Many players are understanding and supportive, especially if they recognize that a member is new or trying to follow a quest. In these cases, players may agree to slow down to help ensure everyone can enjoy the experience and complete the quest objectives.

However, in more experienced groups or in dungeons that are typically completed quickly, some players may express frustration or impatience. They might prefer to rush through the content to maximize efficiency, especially if they are familiar with the mechanics and want to complete the dungeon in a timely manner.

Tips for Communication

When asking for a slower run, it's helpful to communicate clearly and politely. You might say something like, 'Hey everyone, I'm trying to follow the quest story, could we take it a bit slower?' This approach shows respect for the group's time while expressing your needs.

If you find that the group is not receptive, consider suggesting a compromise, such as completing the dungeon at a moderate pace or focusing on key quest elements without entirely slowing down the run.

Alternatives

If the group is unwilling to accommodate your request, you might consider running the dungeon solo or with a more casual group that prioritizes questing and exploration over speed. Alternatively, you can also look for guides or videos that explain the dungeon mechanics and story, allowing you to enjoy the quest at your own pace.
