Your example only works with people who want to be on the same page. And sadly, no matter what you're doing, nobody will be on the same page.

I wish I could just have faster runs. Sadly, no matter my options, it's out of my control. Sometimes the tank actually wants to pull, the healer wants to use their damage abilities, and the dps wanna actually have more than a single damage per second, and things go quick in 10-15. And other times, they're taking a 45+ minute slog of hell where I question why I didn't just run with an AI that could have gone twice as fast as them despite being designed to be slow.

But my personal opinion? I think it's good for people to learn to do better.

As just a bonus though. I am glad you think "Can't focus" means the person you quoted wants it done in new record time. Those painfully painfully long runs are not a joke. And if you're going to queue into content, I think at the bare minimum we can agree on, is you showed up for that content. You don't join in other various examples of activities (sports, card games, even something like a study group) and then decide when you get there you're just gonna watch netflix loudly in the corner. So why is it once it's a video game in paticular, it's suddenly different? It's stuff something to spend my time in enjoyment, and your action that hurts my enjoyment because you didn't even want to do the thing you agreed to do isn't exactly kind. Specially when, in this case, you doing that denied someone else that spot, someone who probably did want to do it.
This thread is specifically about the people that can't chill for 5 seconds, right?
It is not about a 20+ minute run (which is very rare). or even a 15 minute run.

Also the analogy is more like signing up for a cardio class and expecting everyone to do HIIT

And better does not necessarily mean faster. Many would consider a 12 minute run where people interact 'better' than an 11 minute run where no one says anything and the experience is essentially a squadron run.
