    But it doesn't matter, the speed of the party. It's the mechanics like the gates, fall drops, trigger spawns. It's all boring and reused over and over and over.

    Make a random generated puzzle or something if your gonna force me to atop. Make it interesting.
    No. Speedrunning should not be the default; it should be something asked about and agreed upon by all of the party members involved. If even one person says they don't want to do a speedrun, then you don't do a speedrun. Pressuring people into it or saying they should leave the duty if they don't want to do it is being a jerk.

    Majority of players will default to efficient behavior. Speed running is efficient, and thus becomes the default. If you aren't up to that, go queue for lower level dungeons. Go be a special slow snowflake outside of expert roulette.

    The special snowflake here would be you for thinking you can force speedrunning onto parties. Not everyone wants to speedrun. Not everyone CAN speedrun, especially at lower ilvls. If you're that desperate for a speedrun, make a party in PF specifically for that purpose.

    I actually don't mind speedrunning at all, since I can handle it. But I've seen far too many healers who can't handle it and then get blamed when the tank dies or melees who run out of TP and have to stand around waiting for it to build back up.

    Then again, you've pretty much proven yourself to be an elitist jerk time and time again, so I shouldn't expect any other answer from you.
