Monday Night LFR

We have been running Monday Night LFR for close to three months now and everyone is ready for a break. We are running the third adaptable for the Sceptor Tower of Spellgaurd. We are almost done with it. One more Monday Night LFR and we will have it completed. Some of us are unhappy with the way it is being run. One encounter triggers the next, and we have no time for a short rest. I know that this makes sense in the normal world, but in D&D, it is a little much, especially at low levels. 4th Edition D&D was designed with the intent that we do one encounter, short rest, and then move on to the next encounter. We are not getting that short rest, so our encounter powers are not refreshing with each encounter which then makes us want to take an extended rest because we are out of healing surges and daily powers. We need to start using tactics and working as a group. With the use of tactics, we can halt the trigger of the next encounter and be a little refreshed when we do trigger the next encounter. Time has been another factor since we have been running out of it when we need it the most. I hope in the near future we can work together and use tactics to last long enough so we can make it to the final battle/encounter and kick some butt. Until next Monday, we have some time to work on it.
