The only reason people are speed run or bust is they don't want to "waste time"; everything to them has to be done as fast as possible. Poetics cap? Get that done in 2 days instead of a week. Zodiac item related drops? If they have to run the dungeon 50 times, they may as well do it 15 minutes each instead of 30 minutes. MMORPGs are never fast and never will be, but people will try to find the fast easy way to do things anyway, if only to get that shiny toy sooner until it becomes outdated.
