In my experience speed runs take just as long as regular ones because the tank runs off and dies, can't hold Aggro, or the healer can't keep the tank alive through the damage. These are people in the so called +1's. I do not even bother looking for them, asking for them, or actively seek them out.

I'd rather have a smooth run, get lots of Gil, and have fun over rushing through content, wiping, losing Gil due to skipped monsters, and taking the same amount of time.

Leave the SR crap to the static 4 man groups that know exactly what their going to be doing each time and don't pug those IMO. Just because they have gear does not mean their not idiots.
