Pro tip, I play this game to actually contribute something to the party. Also, I got kicked from groups for not DPSing enough when I returned in Legion from a very long break to an entirely different game.
simple advice is never that simple.

Ya I blame M+ for this nonsense, used to be as a tank you pulled a few groups and when the group had them all down to about 1/3 life, you went after the next groups and by the time your last mobs died from the previous you had solid aggro on the new mobs, rinse and repeat.
Some of these guys are punching WAY up, pulling all the way to first boss and getting themselves and the group deleted.

I agree. Incredibly annoying. Unfortunately I can’t think of an easy or obvious solution, other than better behaviour, which is highly, unlikely.

Why would a tank go slower through trivial content? If they can pull the entire path to the boss and melt them all there’s no reason to not do so.

I see you overlooked (or chose to ignore) the part about getting themselves and everyone else killed.

Cuz i just did it. Having a twinked out level 10 locked lowbie tank is great for that. 
If they are halfway decent, they won’t die.

Well, I hope you’re mindfull enough to not get everyone else in your party killed doing it.
The tank isn’t the only factor in that by a longshot.
But we aren’t talking about good tanks in this thread now are we?

they have been trained to speed run like they are trying to beat a clock for three chests.

I’ve talked to all of them, apparently the only reason is to annoy the forums.

Yeppers i made sure to get aggro on all of em with Trash so my bleed damage on em is more than enough to hold aggro, i’m not the kind of tank to let my lovely teammates die

That’s the problem, many of them over-estimate their own ability and it screws the group over in the process. If the group as a whole can handle it and wants to chain smoke the mobs to the point it looks like a party at Snoop Dog’s house, then by all means. Otherwise people need to stop treating everything like a m+ infinity run and stick with their team. Not to mention it’s super obnoxious when they do that.

Some Dps will watch that too and smile.
I always stay by healers even in cata. since some power rushers didn’t pull fully…and now the mob is looking for someone. as the healer walks by and is there.
I also do it so the other 4 dudes can clearly see I didn’t pull. When all 3 dps hang back…tank owns it. It simplifies blame game that comes.
As tank either admits they screwed up. Or we tell them "dude not only are you (the tank that is) bad at the game, you (the tanks that is) are a bad liar too.

Got places to go
Gotta follow my rainbow!!
i bet they are playing that song while tanking :3
Undergeared tanks need to know their place. Even the best healer can’t keep some of those people up.

In my experience, if we do not pull like that, the dps or healer will. Best to be on top of it.
