I am sick of this "speed run" junkies who are too stupid to take dungeons at a nice, manageable pace, the way that the game is intended to be.
    I don't have any idea what people being non-English has to do with anything but okay. If you complained that the tank was pulling too much but you were at the last boss when you complained then I don't understand how the tank was pulling too much. You clearly made it. If you complained throughout the run and they booted you at the last boss then report them and move on with your life. Also, I guess I missed the memo that the game was intended to be played the way that you play it. Because in my belief system, the game was intended to be played by grinding dungeons as fast as possible to maximize returns. I only have so long to play each night and the more Fractal runs I squeeze in, the less days I have to devote to grinding esoterics. Who is right? Neither of us. The game is intended to be played to coincide with the desires of as many people currently in the group as possible.

    Catering to a group mentality is kind of the definition of an MMO, the massive and the multiplayer in the acronym kind of give it away.

    Again... I have no idea what people being foreign has to do with anything. The alternative argument is just as valid as your point, though. We need a vote kick available in this game because it's a multiplayer game and some individual players like to jump into groups and troll their way through a dungeon, intentionally slowing the group down to a halt for their own personal amusement. The lack of a vote-kick function has just as many applications for abuse.

    This one's really simple. Clear the dungeon > Return to beginning > stroll leisurely through the dungeon taking in as many sights and environments as you desire without having to even deal with aggro.

    Really though, if your innocent "complaints" about people speed running were worded similarly as your forum post, I wouldn't have bothered to slow down for you either and absolutely would have vote-kicked you. You come off as incredibly condescending by assuming that the problem is those damn "foreigners", that you alone have insight into how the game is supposed to be played, and referring to anyone who doesn't view your opinions as absolute fact as "mindless idiots". If this is the attitude you took when you voiced your concerns to your group, you absolutely deserved to get kicked. Remember, every story has another side to it.
