If he does it again, I let him hold aggro and healer doesn't heal him. It's rare that I don't pull entire dungeons, so if I do there's usually a reason for it. Particular mob does extra damage, waiting on a key cooldown/resource, whatever it may be. If I am not with my partner in crime, I will politely ask them to let me pace the pulls, I may not trust the healer or something, and then I match their respect. I had a Reaper yelling at me in smileton because I couldn't keep up with him, which was a damn meme because he'd start running before pulls ere dead, use sprint, and dash forward all in one go to the next group. I was with my healer partner for this one, so when he did the same thing to aggro the boss, I just took my tank stance off, let him eat the tankbuster and die, then replaced my tank stance. It's one thing to pretend this game is a race (Like I see people in this thread doing) it's another thing to play in a way that requires other players to go beyond their levels of comfort. Just show them the respect they showed you.

    An eye for an eye only blinds those that would blind you.

    Trusts are an excellent option for people that are uncomfortable with playing the game at the level of the majority. Trying to force the dungeon to go at the pace you want it rather than the pace it's intended to be done at (note: wall to wall pulling is in fact what the game is designed around at this point) is in effect showing tremendous disrespect for the other participants in that dungeon.

    If Trusts AOE I would pick them any time over randoms, they do more DPS than a lot of randoms.

    I only random for tombstones and leveling I thankfully only need to level my Dark Knight from 80 to 90 and that should not be hard. With them adding more trusts for the ARR, Heavensward, and now Stormblood MSQ that should make a lot of people happy.
