    As a tank, mainly 50 PLD, it bothers me when people force speed runs. It bothers me when people even with relics don't ask for it. I am geared for it, have a combination of allagan, and relic+1, AF+1 Heros and DL, All my gear is iLvL 70-90. I do coil and get 50 myth per floor, and I don't need to do speed runs to cap myth to reach my 300 limit, I don't need to be on my A+ game as if i was doing coil. Hell a laid back run is more than welcome.

    I don't know any of my Duty Finder teammates. Sure the healer might have a relic, but can he keep me alive while 10 mobs are hitting me? Can the DPS kill everything before the healer runs out of mp and I run out of cooldowns? I honestly don't know. What I do know is 50% of the mobs can be slept by the healer if whm or the dps if blm, and if not I can easily tank 2-5 mobs with just getting cure 1's. That even with GC weapon DPS my relic can help take down Demon Wall. That even if I have 20 stacks on Toneberry King my Hollowed Ground can save me. I know of my skills and my abilities. Of my experience and my play style. I think others should be aware of what they can do as well and not rely on me.

    What if I am a bad Paladin and when you do that pull I don't provoke or I fail to take hate. That pull just caused your death.What if the WHM Holy was too strong and I can't take hate, or worse I don't have Flash equipped on my cross bar/hotbar because of my play style, you don't know. I'm not saying I do those things, but what if.

    If you see a full relic party and want to speed run, ask. It takes 2 seconds. If you want to nuke as a healer say so. If you want to AOE mobs let us know. We play a multiplayer game to play with other players. If I wanted mute NPC like players.. I would be playing FFXII. If you want a speed run and for people to do what you want them to do. Make a Free Company, ask people to join it and you.

    Maybe I Should just queue on my hoplite gear and Garudas sword.. or Ifrits...

    I think Zedine hit the nail on the head here. I don't think most people are by default against speed runs, but when someone is presumptuous and tries to force one without talking to the group--its irksome. After all, who are they to try and make decisions for the entire party? Nine times out of ten, if the group is capable of doing a speed run they'll be ok with the idea--so long as you ask about it.
