I do go with the majority. Problem is, I try to only take as many packs as I THINK I can handle damage taking wise. I don't want to take more damage than the healer can keep up with. But it can't be helped really. Each group of randoms is different... sometimes.The vast, VAST majority of players want to get the dungeon done with as quickly as possible. They've already run the dungeon countless times, and the only reason they are in there at all is to scoop up some more Tomestones. The less time that this takes, the better. Any responsible tank who is confident in her abilities will speed run. As someone with a minority opinion, your best bet for taking the dungeon at a leisurely pace is to do it with friends who are willing to slow down to your pace. When partying with randoms, be prepared to go with the majority.



I'm a huge fan of speed dungeons. It feels so great to burn down so many enemies at once. I just give myself a little groan and neck crack IRL when I see I have to prepare myself for an overgeared tank to pull 1 pack at a time.
Shaving minutes off, and as you get more and more efficient shaving more minutes and seconds off the final product is great, rewarding and exhilarating for me. People who like slow dungeons sometimes try to be dense and say this is the equivalent of making the game a chore or "ummm I play for fun, you must not" in which case you just roll your eyes. At the end of the day I don't believe in pulling for a tank, so I feel a tank sets the pace of the dungeon and that's a risk you take by not queueing with a tank you know has a similarly mindset.
I check my group stats and gear first then ask for speed runs. As a Tank I rather do speed runs, if people want XP farm they should minimum speak up most expect us to be mind readers.
