    Well, sometimes I do pull extra stuff on me as Scholar when I know I can take it to speed things up (like those two tonberries near flan minion). That said, I never expect the tank to grab hate on those mobs, and "tank" them myself.

    It works just fine, and helps get some extra speed when the group in undergeared (yesterday I did that when I queued up with a full iLv55< group. No one complained, no one died, we cut a few minutes without overwhelming the tank, everyone wins).

    Speedruns even being a thing is a result of:

    - limited sources of Philo/Myth tomes
    - limited time to complete instances (there's plenty by far, but even having a ticking timer there can be incentive to run it as fast as possible)

    Former issue is being addressed, hopefully they also address the latter. I see no reason to limit instances to X minutes outside of possible instance server congestion.

    I had a tank try to do this to me once on a DF run. He didn't say anything to the party and just ran ahead grabbing literally everything. After the second boss and rebuffing, he grabbed everything and hid in the corner and LoS-ed me and the rest of the party so he ended up dying and I was so stressed at this point because I hate speed runs, especially when they get surprised on me like this that I just rage quit the group without saying anything. =_=; If you're gonna speed run at least say something instead of assuming everyone can/ wants to do it.
