    What's up with the wreckless big pulls lately?

    It seems over the past few weeks every dungeon I am doing either 50/60/70 or leveling roulette the tanks have this general "I want to big pull everything and sprint through this content as fast as I can" mentality, without waiting for the healer to even be in line of sight? I mean it's one thing if you want to big pull - I can handle that - but if your 50 yalms ahead of me and I can't use Sprint to keep up because it's on this stupid 60 second cooldown, your gonna die and their isn't anything I can do about it. By the time I catch up to you I'm going to have to rapid cast the heck out of heals and your probably going to be getting hit so hard no matter how rapidly I cast crap your gonna die.

    Can we just play with consideration that not everyone has found a way to hack the cooldown timer for Sprint yet?

    Speed runs and big pulls have been around since ARR.
    Tanks don't run faster than you or have shorter Sprint CDs. All they may have over you are gap closers but they don't let them jump through half the dungeon. So my advice: you see the tank hitting sprint? Do the same and always tail them. Run really close to them as they pick up mobs. You won't lag behind and in case you need to heal mid pull, they can pick mobs right back up should one go for you.
    If you need a moment, write it in the party chat and if someone dies from pulling while you needed to adjust something, it's on them.
    Otherwise don't zone out and always tail the tank. If you can't handle big pulls, say so. If you can, tail the tank.

    They're fun. Hit sprint when you see it pop up on the tank and you shouldn't fall behind.

    Sprint before combat starts, and after combat ends. The duration for Sprint is halved in combat.

    People want to do everything super fast and then complain that there's no endgame content. They don't understand just enjoying the game you're playing, instead of just getting to the end. And unfortunately it's a common occurrence. Even when there's no extra prize for finishing a duty faster, they still try to do it even if no one else wants to.
