Rushing One Quest at a Time

I noticed something about an hour ago as that's where I am on Assassin and have been watching since as I looked for good trades.

A person is getting help/rushed one quest at a time on Playstation.

I've seen variations on "hlp*plz" for:

"cain"
"tower"
"tools"
"sisters"
"radment"
"staff"
"snturary"

At this rate, they'll clear the game at a good pace.

I just thought it was funny and wanted to share.

It's not a rush anymore...

I confess: I don't know what that would be called. It is certainly not normal play.

Ha, I'd call that a community carry. Sometimes it takes the whole neighborhood to help certain folks xD

That's a crawl with extra steps.

There are times when I'm not in the mood to play the game as a low level character for a socket quest either, but an admirable level of laziness requires some foresight. Otherwise, you're just being wildly inefficient.

I actually kind of did that a while ago, albeit minus the "help plz".

"a1 cain"
"a3 gidbinn"
"a3 Tome"
"a4 Izual"
and so on and so forth

Just didn't feel like soloing them for a change and as it turned out, noone joined less specifically named games, forcing me to name quest by quest to get anyone in. At the same time, because it was so specific, everyone left and i had to remake after each quest.

What you do get like that as well though is the random rushed lvl 1 leecher (or a few of them) which would be annoying if you're not just looking for a group to not play alone but because you can't really do it alone. Adding something along the lines of "hlp" to the title would make it clear that you're not gonna be soloing it, possibly reducing the number of leechers to join. Maybe.
Either way, I get the thought behind it.

Interesting. I've had almost the opposite experience. I named some of my Assassin games specifically and didn't get any appropriate players until I started adding "and on" or similar to the game names.

Bumping this because I noticed something new today: someone, who was clearly rushed through normal, getting equipped one bit at a a time.

"armor plz" (I went to this one and dropped a spare Stealth.)
"need a weapon"
"plz drop shield"
