Why Speed Pulls?

[Delorean]

Don't, if you don't want to speed run, as a tank you don't have to. You are the one that sets the pace of the duty, if rest of party doesn't like it, they can leave. If anyone tries to pull extra packs into your pull, let them tank it. This is a game, play it the way YOU enjoy it, and don't let others dictate how you play.

well the party can also choose to kick you for being uncooperative

maybe it is just an anecdote but any problem i have ever had in a dungeon that was so bad that i wanted to criticize another player was of my own design. but ffxiv is an mmo, running dungeons is not hard. don't be afraid of failure to try something different. if there is something you know you cannot do but the group does wants to do it anyway, just be humble and say you are not good enough at your job to do what they are asking - that things will go better if they take them a little bit slower.

work with, not against each other

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?

Ah, playing the 'It's just a game' card. Then what are you even doing here?

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.

Yes, to run coil. Did you really just say running coil is comparable to facerolling trash in dungeons? I don't even...

No, I won't. Not sure where this obsession of placing blame comes from. But no, I won't blame a feature that isn't mandatory.

You don't get it, right? It's not about placing blame, it's about you asking a question (why do players want to speedrun all day?) and people in this thread giving you the answer. You obviously don't like that answer, so you're not going to accept it despite it being the truth. Waat? ^^
