Why Speed Pulls?

[Sareal]

but please don't assume that just because I like big pulls I must be some sort of brain-dead tome-bot.

Just like people assume that it means slowing down the group if you won't pull an entire set of trash (12 mobs) instead of 6 mobs. The difference is so slim in time gained that it doesn't even justify efficiency. If you like dancing? Sure. But please don't assume that just because I don't like to pull 12 mobs at a time that I'm some kind of casual brain-dead slow puller bot.

don't act like it will be useless shortly after release.

No your right, it is not useless shortly after release, it is useless before it is even released, it's a game, what is so useful and productive about playing it other than having fun?

To play content that isn't just killing 100 trash mobs.

Too bad that's pretty much all you do in MMOs, grinding stuff and killing trash mobs and bosses. That's what you do even in coil. Why do you run dungeons to get poetics? To get geared and then do what? Run coil? If not, then explain.
