Speed Running Is Getting Out of Hand

[DeadRiser]

The absolute WORST is quick queue tanks that have crap for gear and still try to do these pulls... and they can't even hold hate off of the healer.

I don't mind them as much, but in my opinion, they need to increase the difficulty of the dungeons so that not just boss mobs are "dangerous".

Let me start by saying I don't mind a speed run, especially speedrunning old content that everyone is overgeared for. When I que up for High Level roulette I pretty much expect a speedrun these days. But for EX dungeons? It needs to stop.

Now maybe with a static group you're fine, but as a WHM, most tanks simply can't stand up to it, but that sure doesn't stop them from trying. When I can spam Cure 2 to barely keep a tank alive (ilvl 116, so I'm far from lacking in the gear department) there's a big problem. And if they get paralyzed or a couple of poisons...

- OK, this person is EXACTLY correct. 9/10 tanks speed running the new Ex CANNOT handle the damage. They are dead inside of a cure I cast time.

I usualy run exs with my scholar because I wasn't sure (until yesterday) if I could handle pulls with my PLD. Since my healer is my main, I do appreciate when a tank uses his cooldowns, so when I play my PLD, I do the same.
Even if I SR HL roulette, and now ex, I wouldn't mind pulling less. I've run into a fair numbers of tanks who were doing small pulls. A lot more than what I was expecting when I was looking for advices on forums and was reading posts from badass tanks who were pulling 35425 dungeons at the same time. In game tanks =/= forum tanks.
It's really intimidating to play a lvl 50 tank for the first time. I wish I'd never read forums first and just enjoy doing dungeons. It took me a very long time just to start doing EX roulette with my PLD because of this mentality ( and I didn't have any trouble doing big pulls or keeping hate. I was just... scared of others reaction).
Now, with 2.5 I'll do all the new dungeons with my PLD. No pressure. It's good for once.

I agree with the beginning Speed running is getting ridiculous. Low levels are no longer relaxing. I was in Halatali with a warrior, nin, and archer, me as a whm. I was the only one wearing level 50 gear. But alas the tank decided he wanted to do "Big Pulls". Which in all reality was completely ineffective. Not only could I not dps but the dps were all over the place and things were living way longer than they should have.

Retrospectively I should have let him die.

Okay, this has gotten to be stupid. First time in the new WP HM and we get a speedrunner tank. A SPEEDRUNNER TANK! The dungeon hasn't even been here for 24 hours man, you shouldn't be speedrunning in the DF.

With all those stops (Pardon me for a moment: YES! Stops! Forced stops! Let your hate and anger flow forth, O speedrunners!!), how would he even?

Between two of the stops there are 3 groups of 3 adds. He ran too far ahead of the healer, and he fell to the ground. Didn't have Hallowed Ground ready or anything. Plus he kept the adds in their buffing zone.

My group wanted to SR the final leg of AK HM. I was like lolno. We're going to take our time and enjoy it!
