Does nobody run this mision anymore?
I have been playing since the days when you had to do the infuse run 5 times to be fully infused, the kids these days dont know how lucky they are.
I joined a party tonight to get my new Marhans Ranger armour infused, and I said when I got into town;
"LFG for infuse run, will help with mission as well."
So the mission starts and I start running, i dont noticed until im round the first few turns that only me and another ranger are running, everyone else had started fighting. I got about halfway before I got trapped by 3 giants and both me and the other ranger died, and then .... the newbies called us n00bs!!
They were like, "Why did you run?"
I replied "This is the quickest way to do the mission, didnt you know?"
And they wouldn't believe that people run the mission, or at least they used to.
Have things changed that much, are the days of running the Iron Mines coming to an end?

Bah, the youth of today!

imagine you are in a group
suddenly one of your teammates starts running instead of fighting, stating that it's better to run
what would you think about that ?

now I just don't do this mission
I just go to the next one :P

The infuse run is soooo easy to do with henchmans just do it with them.

Lost · Aug 19, 2005, 12:30 AM // 00:30

The whole infusion run concept always seemed silly to me. I've always used henchmen for the infusion and the mission. Then I fight my way there as it would be faster using an instantly made henchmen group and fighting than looking for the kind of group you need and running.

Plague · Aug 19, 2005, 12:33 AM // 00:33

People still do it, the people you were with are just stupid. I'm glad they enjoyed fighting the next one and a half hours through that whole mission.

Mavrik · Aug 19, 2005, 12:44 AM // 00:44

I've been run for the first have twice now... Usually made it about half way before being stoned to death lol... One of these days I will fight my way through it.

Vilaptca · Aug 19, 2005, 12:52 AM // 00:52

You can run it with henchmen, don't choose morons to help you with something so easy.

Besides, you only need to run to get infused, I've skipped this mission on all 4 of my characters and just went to Thunderhead Keep after fighting my way to Grotto.

zalzan · Aug 19, 2005, 04:23 AM // 04:23

If people are looking for a challenge to get infused, better to do the mineral springs run for the infusion at the end. Iron mines is not very challenging at all, easily done with henchies, and easily run. Not so Mineral ...you really have to work hard to get the infusion there.

Old Dood · Aug 19, 2005, 04:40 AM // 04:40

It isn't that hard. I have done it a few times to infuse different armor. And now it looks like I will for Saintly Armor too.

neoteo · Aug 19, 2005, 04:46 AM // 04:46

well , its what hapands when devs change the game , everything becomes diferent , this is a good exemple , when we had to do 5 runs , everybody was doing it ( i miss that times ) it was easy to find what what was infusion , and what was infusion runs , now people dont know what is infusion and dont run .... i hope all the people that complaind about the runs are happy , cose im not ...

infusion runs use to be fun ... now its history ...

More and more I find myself having to take the lead in such instances. There are still infusion runs going on, and I have seen people advertising for them.

What is really a pain are Cap runs. Goes the other way and making sure people are infused is just a pain.
And even then I get 4 Hammer Warriors, 3 Rangers, and 1 uninfused monk. Who we agreed to infuse cause it was a pain to get even that monk at that hour.

borkbork · Aug 19, 2005, 04:55 AM // 04:55

Well. I've stood in town asking if anyone wants to go on an infuse run...

And promptly get called 'noob' for asking such a 'ridiculous question.'

I point out that I have new armor that I'd like to infuse up but for whatever reason, many people can't comprehend that.

Just grab henchies and go. It's faster and quite easy.

ExplosiveBadger · Aug 19, 2005, 05:34 AM // 05:34

Running is fun. I just completed that mission. Remember kids, you don't have to outrun the monsters, just your slowest team mate.

Running is for the weak and lazy.

I use to run this in the days it took 5 runs, but I like to foght it now, more interesting.

Again running is for weak.

Sanji · Aug 19, 2005, 07:37 AM // 07:37

I don't know about the weak or lazy, but I do know about "the bored" and "the tired of doing that mission for the twelfth* freaking time."

Aside from the fact that infusion is still a horrible and superflous game mechanic, I'm still glad they made Infusion work on your current set of Armor instead of a single piece.

*Two Characters when it was Five times to infuse, Two characters when it only took one.

Calimar · Aug 19, 2005, 07:54 AM // 07:54

It's fun how people forget common sense and good manners as soon as they get on a public board.

"Running is for the weak and lazy."

No, running is for those who don't have 6 hours a day to play and want to do missions with the least amount of fighting possible. Or for people who enjoy running more than fighting Yet-Another-Wave-Of-Monsters.

No one says you HAVE TO run. But please don't tell me I have to fight through that mass for no reason at all because I won't. Am I weak? Maybe.

BTW, I run infusions. Need a hand, look for me.

Fantus · Aug 19, 2005, 07:55 AM // 07:55

I actually like playing GuildWars...

...that's why I fight, not run.

I don't really care how other people like to approach this mission, but when I do it I will state clearly that I won't run and I'd leave party the very instant someone starts to run.

dansamy · Aug 19, 2005, 08:07 AM // 08:07

My poor group in the fire islands had to do the bonus on one of those misisons to get my monk infused. I forgot that I had bought new armor and hadn't gotten it infused yet.

I actually like playing Guild Wars too. Just not Iron Mines of Moladune or the Infusion process. Unfortunately I also don't like my characters being vulnerable to Mursaat's Agonizing Touch so there's not much I can do about that.

Your point?

Well, I like playing Guild Wars INCLUDING the Iron Mines mission.

It is and as I said I don't mind people playing this mission that way. I just don't want to be any part of it. Some people forming groups there just automatically assume that the infusion part is going to be rushed and start running as soon as the mission starts. My only point was that this should be agreed on BEFORE starting the mission, that's all.
