skipping areas should be a group decision

As a tank I check the party list to check for lvl50s. If there are 50s I ask them if they are ok with a full exp sweep. And I always take others feelings into consideration. 1- 2k exp, even for a lvl 48 is pretty sweet. The bonus at the end is just that. .. a bonus.

If I'm tanking I'll just skip everything to get finished as quickly as possible. However if someone asks to do the side rooms then I'll take the time to clear those as well. Most of the time people don't say anything, or they do it well after we passed them.

How about you just ask the group when you enter the instance that you want the exp/rewards

this rant and thread was so necessary

I think if you want to do the full dungeon for the random useless treasure chest, then by all means, speak up.

I agree with this. When I'm tanking, I'll usually assume people want to get through the dungeon as efficiently as possible unless they speak up. I'll usually ask if anyone wants to get a treasure chest if there is a split path. Most tanks will be ok doing the full dungeon. Some people have bad attitudes and will leave the dungeon if it's not a speedrun, but personally I wouldn't want to run with someone like that anyway.

Don't be rude about it though, it's all about communication. Be friendly, eloquent, and nice in dungeons and you will be treated accordingly (:
