again i only cared about that method because i was running dungeons for zodiac and it tends to get pretty boring pretty fast
Maybe it's just me, but when you decide to take up the challenge of the relic questline, you kinda accept the lengthy nature that comes with it. Just as you don't want others forcing their ways unto you, you probably shouldn't expect that everyone should bend over for you. Even in the case of running up to 120 instances of it, an additional minute (or several overall) isn't exactly groundbreaking performance. Especially when you consider that... yah know, it isn't going to be all done in one sitting. And if it is, you probably need to take a step back from the game.

Speed runs should always be looked at as a novelty rather than a norm that everyone must do. This is coming from a relative MMO vet (played for the last 12 years)... I think it's safe to say that I've seen how things/people have changed over time in the genre, and while people have grown impatient (or just more impatient people started playing), the general methodology still looks at speed runs as just a gimmick or something you don't expect out of every single player.
