    Yes sadly people feel like a "need" to speedrun everything.
    I usually check reactions on first pull (do a single group) and if the rest of the groups rushes by I know they expect a speedrun. Tho id never rush if people dont want to. Even in bray HM I ask "Slow or common speedrun?"
    There are large threads about speedrunning in here because on one hand people complain they cant watch CS and co (not reading the texts in Tamtara HM ;_; ) and on the other hand you get bitched at for NOT speedrunning.
    Especially in the 2 8 man story dungeons that is an issue. Even if both tanks healers and 3 dps are willing to wait there is that 1 dick that pulls and sorry not all healers are open to just let that idiot die and quit :/

    As a Healer, I'll always let someone watch the cutscenes on CM and Praetorium. The problem now, however, is that because of higher iLevel, and no sync on either of those dungeons, CM can be solo healed, and most of Praetorium as well. So if the other Healer wants to speedrun, my sitting on the ground does nothing. T_T

    I'm new to the game and the first runs of the low-level dungeons I went through were great! Chatty, helpful and nobody seemed to be there for a speedrun at all. Not found that since I've started doing the roulette though, total opposite, might as well be playing with bots. Not sure what changed..!

    What changed was the message.. on anyone's first run-through, a message is displayed letting the other members know that someone has yet to clear the dungeon. For roulette, it probably didn't appear at all, so everyone automatically assumes you've done the dungeon a million times (not true, of course, but still...).

    I tend to just glance at my party's search info, to see where they may be. A lot of people have alt characters too (for...reasons? idk i dont see the reason but whatever) so they'll know how to do the dungeon even if it states they're new. I usually ask if they've done it before; if so then no explanation, if not then I tell them what to expect.

    Yeah it was already solohealable on i60 and that is what I say always 1 tries to rush... its rare that you hit a full patient team (did FC prae cm yesterday 5 man premade and only 1 random dps quit halfways thru prae I was impressed)

    People do the dungeon only for tomes... no time to waste that is what changed... sadly
