I'm gonna say something unpopular: I don't like to rush.

It doesn't, actually. The community standard is speed pulling and pulling as much as possible. If it's clear that the party is trying to go quickly, pull large, and can handle it, yet the tank is being stuck up and pulling small and/or being slow, then the DPS or healer pulling is completely fine and is frankly something that they should do in that circumstance. If you don't want impatient healers/DPS pulling for you as the tank, well, maybe you should speed tf up so they don't have a reason to outpace you.

You're talking about someone outright refusing to be optimal on purpose. That is not the same as someone trying their best, wanting to enjoy the content, or simply not up to par in gear. The former implies the person perfectly knows they're hindering someone or the party. In general, the "community's standard" is not "everyone's" standard unfortunately. Regardless of the population being 99% to 1% in favor of your odds, the fact is... there is a difference and it is recognized by the developers and the game's ToS(and believe it or not, some of the community). Unfortunately, it does in fact go both ways regardless of the population. We've had minorities in games before and had their opinions heard, we've had minorities IRL too... You can't ignore them because they're the minority (or at least what you THINK are the minority).


Everyone else quoting me seems to think people not pulling everything implies they're purposefully hindering a group or being a problem for the purpose of being a problem too... This is incorrect. I can drive my car slow to piss off the person behind me, or I'm driving my car slow because I feel unsafe where I'm driving or unsure, or I'm wanting to see something around me.... In the end of that metaphor, so long as you're not purposefully causing an issue, it isn't an issue. Someone wanting to take their time in content or NOT rush is not the same as someone opting to torture your party to watch them suffer. The big difference is, YOU decide how you get these parties.. Duty roulette is not at your whim, you are at its. Which again, all you need is communication. I can't believe how hard people fight OTHER PEOPLE'S PLAYSTYLE for content they can clear regardless. Worry about your damn selves ffs.
