Chances are the other players that did not want to speed run will not go along and then you'd have to wait for a tank or healer anyways which already helps everyone else in big picture when speed runners are stuck in instance waiting. People have to have tools and methods to stand up against the speed running bullies.
    They are not effective at all, they are harassment, period. You're going out of your way to target a specific player and give them a bad experience. Whether they're a jerk or not, you're being a jerk by employing these methods so don't try to justify them.

    If people really don't want to speed run then you are allowed to kick the person who is trying to force you to do so, the devs specifically said you were allowed to kick people based on a difference in play style.

    You're basically saying that the people in the group don't want to speed run yet they don't have the patience to wait for a new tank or healer? Give me a break, you either care enough to kick them and wait or not. Besides, if you go out of your way to target these players they will probably just go afk until you kick them anyways or they will leave, either way you will have to wait. In the end you will waste more time screwing with them than it would take to replace them.

    Bottom line, you don't fix jerks by being a jerk yourself. It's as simple as that, you may think you have a solution here but you're only creating more problems.

    I agree with you that people should not force others to play a certain way but that goes both ways. What your methods do is no different than the people you're trying to stop in my opinion. Unfortunately you don't get to pick whether it's going to be a speed run or not as a duty finder option and there will be times when you have people who are jerks or try to force their ideals on you but there are other ways to deal with that aside from getting mad and sinking down to their level.
