    Imagine considering running Dungeons slower than average a waste of time, yet wasting time is the very nature of Video Games in the first place.

    This is such a shallow strawman
    Just because video games are recreational doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't play them efficiently

    Regardless of how one chooses to spend their time it will allows be finite, so conserving in any facet life may be a net gain

    Not in multiplayer games; that is when it becomes selfish. If you want to waste time, there's solo games or trusts or whatever. You should try to keep in mind you're playing with other people. Be respectful and you should learn to do what the majority of the playerbase wants to do.

    Now, I'm not saying everyone is wanting a fast speedrun of all time, but doing the 'norm' is sort of expected at some point when you reach a certain level. Seeing you have a level 90, you should know the pull etiquette by now.

    Ultimately it's going to up to the tank and three other players. If the tank and two others are ok with slow pulls, then you're the outlier. Vice versa for w2ws. IMO you should at least try to do double pulls, there's no reason to do single pulls unless you're new or struggling. But if the tank asks, eh, sure whatevs.

    Personally, people should just really be okay with wiping. Especially if you're learning w2ws as tank, it's going to happen at least once or twice and that's ok. Single pulling constantly and everyday isn't learning at some point - you're just becoming normalized to it.

    Yup. I main healer, so if I see that the tank and the 2 dps wanna go slower, then I adjust and just deal with pressing one button and have a slow run - I'll just drink tea with my free hand during those pulls, no biggie. It's just not the norm.

    Depend what is your definition of "waste of time".
    I don't think video games are.
