    Why should I have tried when they decided to just let me die instead of continuing to clear? If anything, that was entirely counter-productive to wanting a speed run. Besides, the difference between the average speed run and a normal clear is not that much. They were only making it take longer than it would have if they had just let me clear normally.

    Why is it okay for them to dictate how I play but not the other way around? It's not like I was being rude.

    because majority rules and you cant take that or dont like it , then dont queue up in duty finder. if 3/4 of the party want to something and you dont like it, well either : drop from the party or deal with it.

    that doesnt matter, if you at least tried and the party bombed (like dps couldnt dish out enough damage to kill the mobs quickly or the healer couldnt keep you up) then you have a point, but YOU DIDNT EVEN TRY. therefore the majority is still in the right and you are entirely wrong.i would have taken your side if you guys wiped and they insisted to continue to try to SR, but this isnt. you were just being as ass and guees what? you got kicked.

    you didnt even give them a chance to see what up either and instead you went in and decide the run is gonna go as YOU WANTED. i assume you just pull one mob at a time and then you got kicked. by doing that, you already solidfy "my way or the highway" mentality that tank used. i guess they took the highways and kicked your butt out.

    But they were in this case, and you were wrong. Good to see you took absolutely nothing away from this.

    Duty roulette is not for speed runs. I got Animus so I've done my share of Brayflox HM speed runs. When I wanted a speed run I used party finder. I did not join through duty finder or duty roulette and try to tell other people to speed run. That would be wrong.

    You're right, no one has a right to infringe on the way you play.

    The same goes for you, telling them they can't speedrun without a specific class. Stop acting like the victim, you tried to force your opinion on them like they did to you.

    Get off the high horse, you deserved to get kicked.

    Wait...so you can tell them they have to run the dungeon your way, but you won't even try to run it their way?

    Except that isn't what happened. Look at the image you posted. You are the one who didn't give them a chance because of some preconceived notion (that is absolutely wrong by the way) that only a certain party composition can speed run brayflox hm. Then when they tried to sway you, you instantly questioned their maturity. You had a kick coming.

    Now by all means, you can make up stories about what happened to your FC, but if you're going to try it on the forums, maybe omit the screenshot that shows what actually happened next time.

    This is what I took away from it. Posting a screen shot that has you clearly insulting the party and refusing to even try - bad idea if you were looking for support. It reminds me of the days back in XI where people wouldn't go do CoP fights because of xyz party composition and it was utterly ridiculous. If the party is all telling you "yes, we can handle it we have done it before" who are you to tell them their jobs or that they can't with xyz makeup, and worse, to call them immature for trying to help you learn the game?

    Vote kick definitely gets abused, but this situation where a party member doesn't fit or is trolling the rest of the group is absolutely what it was put there for.

    Do you really not see that your arguments of "Why sould someone else dictate how I play " could be used against you. Largely because you're trying to dictate how the other members of your party should play.
