I'm gonna say something unpopular: I don't like to rush.

It'd literally be less impactful to the success of the run to not participate in a normal raid than it is to pull small. Less time would be wasted. Pulling small is just basically AFKing anyways - tank doesn't need CDs and the healer can either tunnel vision dps or curebot.

Your part of the fight as anyone in a dungeon is to facilitate the expedient completion of the instance, same as any other group content. Baby pulling is literally not doing your job.

Wrong again. There is no decrease in success for pulling small in dungeons. And "expedient completion" doesn't make any sense in this context, unless you mean suitable/appropriate, which small pulls definitely fall into that category.

lol.
Modern MMOs favor efficiency, and rewards gained are usually compared to the time spent to obtain them. Rewards are looked at in terms of Xp/HR or Tomes/HR. Time has direct value in terms of rewards / character progression. Expectations around this are still fairly tempered, but no one wants to spend 2 hours doing daily grind content when they could spend 1 or less and use the rest doing other things like crafting or raiding.

If someone is left with only a few hours to play because of work, I think they'd rather not spend all of it held hostage in their dailies exclusively because someone has decided it's acceptable to put 0 effort into playing a cooperative game.

Small pulls don't take 2 hours, so wrong again.

It's an additive sort of thing. If every single-pulling tank adds five minutes onto your run, consider just how many dungeons you run over the course of your playtime in FFXIV. It's not like individual runs will be utterly awful - though I have had some trainwreck runs in the 40-60 minute range, but it's definitely something that eats your time up.

Consider what it adds in a single day, as it's a daily metric. If you don't have enough playtime in a given day to account for a few minutes of extra time, then maybe spend your day doing something else or go premade.

Dungeons have been done so often that most players would rather spend as little time as possible inside them. You might want to do eureka type content who lets you go at your own pace and pick and choose your participation rate. Which is refreshing after months and months of raids and dungeons. Big shame that NUreka only gets released in 5.35 which is probably in late september.

Flailing your hands and declaring someone wrong with no actual counter-argument doesn't really lend much to your stance, it just kind of undermines it and makes it look weaker.

So saying content that normally takes an hour takes becomes two hours with certain types of tanks isn't a point you wanted discussed? Then why say it? You could have just said "I don't want to spend longer than usual" instead of making the very unrealistic claim that single pull tanks make content take twice as long to do.

Your post has some valid points but saying that content ends up taking twice as long only serves to weaken them. There needs to be far more going on than just single pulls for that happen.

My counter-argument is that your premise is wrong. If the basis of your argument is wrong, then your argument falls apart. Maybe try to learn what makes for a weak argument, because it's your argument that is weak.

Tfw you dont even know what the word expedient means.

The majority of people playing this game understand that rushing through a dungeon saves everyone loads of time.

If you dislike doing content this way make a PF or queue for it with your friends. If you try to enforce your slow movement through the dungeon without pulling more, letting the healer or dps that pulled die you're going to get kicked.

You either adapt or play with friends that like doing content like you.

- (of an action) convenient and practical although possibly improper or immoral.

- (of an action) suitable or appropriate.

If it's the first definition, are you saying there is something immoral/improper about pulling large?

If it's the second definition, then I said pulling small fits that definition for completing a dungeon in an expedient manner.

And even if it's the first definition without the moral issue, pulling small is also convenient and practical as well. I've never seen a group wipe for pulling too small. I've seen a group wipe for pulling too big.

Baby pulls aren't convenient, they're a giant waste of time.

Do better.

A few extra minutes are not a giant waste of time.
