    Then you run into the impasse of people who don't want to be rushed being in your group. We're all playing in the way comfortable to us so it's not like anyone is intentionally holding you back. Just don't be rude to others and expect them not to be rude to you. Sometimes you get your way sometimes you don't. If your worry is time, I feel like you're running a bigger risk of pissing your party off for rushing them without asking resulting in a wipe. Which is by that point is lost time regardless of how fast pulls were happening. Honestly, it's more common than not that the tank is on top of things and going at a decent pace, so maybe the few times someone seems intent on staying slow you can ask why or just accept it. I've been in so few roulettes where tanks don't go wall to wall that I don't really see the issue. Like, it sucks your time is limited but it isn't everyone else's responsibility to make up for that. Maybe find other ways of mitigating slow runs, because unfortunately there isn't really making an unskilled/uncomfortable person go faster if they genuinely can't. Are they just supposed to not play at all? Skip all cutscenes? Not enjoy their time because you're cramming as much as you can into a couple hours?

    ETA: I still stand by what I said earlier, in the right situation and with the right attitude, the occasional playful pull is fine. Because it's just a game and it's okay to get a little loose with the script from time to time. But honestly people's attitudes are really nasty towards anyone who isn't always in line with their concept of efficiency, and it doesn't accomplish anything but making everyone, themselves included, angry.
