    There is a time-limit on instances for a reason. SE determined that it might take a group upwards of 90 minutes to finish a set of instances. "Carrying your weight" needs to be weighed against those 90 minutes, not the 15-20 minute speed-runs demanded by bored players looking to gain tomes from some daily roulette and then complaining about all those folk who are slowing them down.

    In a Story Mode Instance, the expectation should be "it takes as much time as it takes".

    For Extremes and Raids, go ahead an knock yourself out.

    Yep, indeed there are different time checks for different contents. We have the 90 Mins limit for the average dungeon and even more for alliance-type content, as well as really tight time-check content like Savage. That's what SE seems to consider the reasonable time to clear.

    Be honest -- do you actually want your dungeon runs to take the whole 90 minutes?

    20 minutes is not a speed run, btw. Many DF parties are capable of completing our current dungeons around that time going at a fairly leisurely pace. (Like, not even big pulling)

    Or perhaps it's also time provisioning in case someone disconnects or leaves the party and a replacement needs to be found?
