I'm okay with skipping public area stuff, but when people try to race through the entire event, skipping any battle they can... I just don't get it. If you're not doing it to have fun and actually do the content, I wish you'd just find a group for speed racing that stuff. I think the default attitude is 'doing this for fun' rather than 'doing this to blow through it as quickly as possible,' and public play should reflect that. That said, a/ the game does ask for a lot of grinding from you, and b/ the threat of a disconnection hangs over many people's heads.
