No-Thanks

I was playing with random people in Royal Jelly Palace. They all refused to play the fourth room with the fourth key in depth 16. Unfortunately, i'm not yet able to comprehend, how i can benefit from that, so i'm asking here.

For the room, i needed around 1/3 the time, that the 3 ...persons spent waiting for me on the party button, so it's safe to say, that they were not in a hurry.

Previously in an arena, the party leader begged the party to put him on the elevator tab.
Knowing, that he would be booted to Haven, if all clicked on the button to continue on, i patiently waited without pushing the button.
Afterwards, his red elevator tab area was yellow again, which means he got ahold of energy.

I've seen a couple of ..weird people, but can someone explain this behavior to me?
Is it simply wrong or is there some logic behind it?

Also, i've come across a few people, who ask me to add them to my tab.
Despite having gotten a few free things every now and then, here and there, in the past, i haven't begged for years.

Should i add strangers to my tab, if i have mist energy left, that i don't intend to use anytime soon?
And should i add them, if i do intend to use the mist energy?

Maybe they aren't confident

Maybe they aren't confident in doing it, maybe the're on a time issue. Maybe they just don't want to.

Beggars exist everywhere, even while diving. Nothing new.

Go ahead and tab if you wish. You could always just craft with that mist and sell the item on ah.

No idea. Not even the hardest room., Maybe they dont feel like wasting time there.

Is it that big of a deal?

Is it that big of a deal? They were probably more interested in reaching the boss and getting tokens than getting more crowns. Maybe they were on a time crunch. Just leave the party and solo if you can't convince them to do it with you.

that's....dumb. That's the room that's been the HP refiller for as long as I can remember. If they go through top-right and don't go through bottom-left....something's wrong with them.

@otaia

I could understand it if they avoided any of the other rooms. That room is a speed run for the most part. Nothing shooting, enclosed enemies ripe for charge attacks...it's usually a slaughter.

Some people like to spend as little time in there as possible, especially if they're token grinding. A few crowns is basically worthless in this game.

I'm surprised they skipped that room, I love doing that room because it normally tops everyone off with HP. I was expecting them to have not wanted to do the top right room.

Randoms.

Stay away from them.

What i do like to do is tab them, but go up. that way they believe everything is ok, but then BAM-pay 10ce!

Only if you enjoy doing it - it sounds to me like you don't.

By doing the fourth key you

By doing the fourth key you also get access to the treasure room. not an awesome room, but it does drop some sparks. And it is the easiest room, so why not? I'd say it's just another example of people having a different agenda while playing. Bummer to get booted, but it happens.

if you need to ask about tabbing someone, then I'm guessing you've got some weird guilt issues and should go to a therapist. Or you know the answer, and are looking for us to bail you out. Everyone deals with tabs different. Do whatever you want.

I personally hate when ppl

I personally hate when ppl are skipping money/monsters/area. IMO its becouse of Christmas Explorer Pack promo. Elevator passes were there SO cheap and lot of ppl hoarded ton of them. Becouse of that, most of ppl are assuming that everyone have elevator pass so if they dont pay for elevator they dont care that much about lvl profit

Tabs

I don't tab. They can ask all they want, I won't tab them.
If they can't decide to do a room with me and they're randoms? I solo. I've gone into danger rooms solo and come out before with lackluster weapons and armor... no reason I can't do it again. I give everyone ample time and patience, rev everyone when a rev is reasonable (aka if they'll actually aid me at that time) as far as I'm concerned, wasted profit on a dive is wasting the game experience.
No I don't turn over every rock... but I typically think my party picks up the slack that I leave.
Maybe there needs to be a thread about knight etiquette or something on delves... (can't believe I have to say that)

When they said chivalry was dead, they really weren't kidding.

If they were on speed run

If they were on speed run they would skip any other room, except this one. This seems to be the least time consuming room. So they were not on a speed run/time crunch/token grinding.
Also this is the easiest room, so it was not about lack of confidence or skills. Actually this room is a sort of health regenerator.

Skipping this room is probably one of the most stupid things player can do in Royal Jelly Palace. I'd advice to get used to stupidity though. It's very common in MMO games and real life alike ;-)

I don't tab either. I also

I don't tab either. I also don't care if they kick me solo (helps when you have good 5* gear and can solo pretty much any content in the game, but all you have to be able to do is solo the content you are currently on). Typically if someone asks for a tab, I'll either tell them to buy CE or go up. I'm not super rich, but I'll sell CE for a good price to anyone in a run with me, since I have plenty of CE and always have the CR to buy some back at the current market price. I'll tab a friend if I realize he forgot to buy CE before stepping on, but other than that it isn't worth it.

As others said, this is by far the easiest and fastest room, so I don't know why anyone would skip it.
