Let Players Speed Run Again

[Laerune]

I am all for everyone plays this game at their own pace etc, but in a mmorpg where majority of the players are using a random tool that brings 4/8/24 random players toghter, this is not possible. Every mmorpg that I have played which offered the option to speed run has always resulted in a stupid debate where players try to enforce each others will on to each other. There is no 'lets play toghter" Its all about "ME,ME,ME,ME, I want to finish this dungeon within 15 minutes so we will finish it within 15 minutes". Just like ThirdChild_ZKI, I too prefer to enjoy the dungeon at a decent pace, I am not going to crawl to the final boss, but I dont want to rush either.

If there is a option to speed run, then members of this community will force it upon each other. Often have I seen high ilevel players rushing the dungeon not knowing that their dps/healer/tank does not have the same ilevel and often they can not handle the content at that pace.

Yesterday I was doing Snowcloak, both dps were not doing alot of damage, but aslong as we were doing 1 pack at the time, we were able to finish the dungeon within 30 minutes. Sadly my tank did not agree with this so, he pulled alot of trash packs at the same time. You can guess what happend next. The mobs did not die fast enough, so the tank started verbaly abusing the dps players, I got out of mana (first time this has happend since Vigil Keep storymode) and we wiped. I am not saying this will always happen, but in all the speed runs that I have witnessed its about someone wanting to rush asap and not about exploring a dungeon with new friends.

This is nothing personal, but the GOGOGOGOGOGO mentality was one of the reasons that I hated World of Warcraft. The fact that alot of players are oke with this playstyle, makes me worry for this community.

Like ThirdChild_ZKI said in his/her previous post, why should Square Enix bother with designing dungeons? Why not just add dungeons with one big white corridor with mobs lined up? I bet you, Square Enix does not mind taking your money for those type of dungeons. This way its going to be a WIN/WIN for Square Enix and the speed runners?
