working as a team in a party

[Ashkendor]

Speedrunners need to get thru their thick heads that you can not push a string. You can always go slower but forcing it to go faster and wiping is NOT helping anyone and will actually make things even slower.

By the same token, why deliberately make it take longer than it has to? What if three people want to speed run and one does not? I feel that the odd man out should suck it up and go with the majority or leave. I've had healers basically hold the party hostage and say they won't heal a speed run even though the other three were all for it. I've had a dps say they hate speed runs and they'll afk if we do big pulls. I don't think I've ever once had a tank refuse to speed run (at least not if they were geared for it). Of course, that's what vote kick is for. I understand differing playstyles, but if you're throwing a tantrum and basically threatening to not even do the basics of your job unless you get things your way, I say don't let the door hit you in your self-righteous butt on your way out.

If party members aren't geared to do a speed run, that's a completely different beast altogether.
