Why everyone wants do PotD speed run?

[Ferth]

Why should so,done just go with it? I mean some folks like to get the accursed hordes too. I seen groups get an intuition and state that unless we cross it's path leave it alone if the cairn of passage is open. My response to that is usually BS! Speed running isn't necessarily a bad thing I do it too. However, if someone comes into the group that does not want to speed run I vote no speed run. I am not going to deprive someone from doing the content. If you are not willing to run the content as intended do not queue. Is my philosophy and opinion.

How is "speed running" running the content not as intended? Where does it say that the intention is that you need to clear the entire floor before you move to the next? Why would it even let us go to the next floor if that was the intention?

Furthermore why should one person get to hold three people hostage because they want something different? If the majority of the group wants to explore for chests, fine. If the majority wants to speed run, that should be fine, too.

Ideally it would be nice if everyone understood the math behind why speed running, specifically in Palace of the Dead, is not a bad thing, but I get it... Math is hard. So I don't press the issue. But really... there is nothing you can get from PotD being slow and methodical that you can't also get by going quickly and efficiently, but going quickly and efficiently also gets you more clear rewards for the over-all time you spend in the content.
