You are not a fail.

Where is it stated anywhere that the DF is not to be used to speed run? Can you clearly define what I am supposed to use it for? I have not been able to locate that specific set of instructions thus far.

Where is it stated that you do NOT use toilet water for washing your hair? Or maybe you are bald so your head. You be hard pressed to locate instructions against that.

And where is it ever stated that the DF was ever intended for speed runs? Get real. It take random luck to get a group that can and wants to do speed run on the DF, but to demand it, or expect it is out of the question. And definitely do NOT insult people that go less than warp speed 9.99 on the DF.

.... And what do I mean by the lowest common denominator? The people who do the minimal required to finish a dungeon. ...

And so they get the clear without wipe, so what is problem? Why do they need to cater to the speed runner? Get a pre-formed party and speed run to your hearts content, just don't expect the DF to get you a speed running party, that is not its purpose.
