Why everyone wants do PotD speed run?

No. My advice is to set up your own group in the Party Finder that mentions you're going after silver chests or advertise it in /shout. There will be other people looking to do the same - I know I did after I got my Kinna weapon.

Speed run PotD is the fastest way to level. Most groups spam floors 51-60. Speed runners will not pick every single silver chest but they will take ones that are close by. With higher floors (61+) you'll find more people going after silver chests.

You can set up cross-world parties in the Party Finder.

It's generally seen as 'more efficient' because the quicker a set of floors is completed the quicker another set can be tackled. For many players the novelty has worn off, they may not need silver chests themselves and they're more interested in the experience at the end of the floor set than any other rewards. This isn't helped by the hidden coffers containing items that are - bar some exceptions - basically vendor trash at this point in time. It's not a great situation but it's easily mitigated by using party finder or shout to form a likeminded party.

Talk to people in the party it works.
If people don't know what you want they cant help it.

I've had more luck not talking at all. The times I mentioned I need aetherpool people actually started arguing how I'm in the wrong floor range and how I'm wasting time. Yet whenever I stayed silent and methodically checked all rooms and picked the chests people run right past, almost no one objected. You could try that until you get enough aetherpool to solo the place. If you solo up to 100 you get a cool title too and get way more practice with your jobs than speed runners.

In general the plan is "If pugs don't do what you want, make your own group". That said, when I need potd funbux from chests, I find that it's best to just talk to your party. They like to speedrun by default(It's like, the fastest levelling possible, really), but if you tell them that you need stuff a lot of folks will acquiesce and help you.
