How a Meridianum and Praetoreum run should be!

[Gilraen]

And actually the group is what is important to me...

This seems to be the only thing we agree on. The group is important, everyone from the 'hardcore raider' just wanting their clear to the new player getting their first run. No one person more important than the other. This is the failing of the community, it seems. Most people feel their time is more important than others and 'seditious behavior' from the 'norm' should be chastised or worse. It's like the lalafell in my signature says...

While I agree with the lala in your signature, it seems we interpret it differently. I mean no offense by this, but it seems you think it means everyone must act with the upmost to your view of humanity. Meaning you think that everyone should bend to your thoughts on how a run should be. Rather than taking into account that there are multiple people within the group and everyone has to compromise to have the most enjoyable outcome for the run. This means nobody, unless all views are aligned from the start, gets their ideal run, but they get some part of it.

If you want the perfectly ideal run for you, you have to form a pf of like minded people, or get extremely lucky with everyone df pairs you with. To demand everyone fit to your view of the run is no different than a that one person out of 8 who forces the speed run on those who want to go slow.

While I think it's a nice thing that you like to give everyone their slow/story run. You should also keep in mind that people are not bad for playing the community standard for it. It's merely neutral. The one who yells and kicks people for watching cutscenes is the one who is bad.
