What is the underlying reason you do dynamis?

[Hoshi]

I used to do dynamis because of my friends. I never found it much fun (it was so boring) and my interest in armor dropped off after about the first 6 months of doing dyna (basically after I got the pieces I was interested in). I quit doing dynamis once my friends were banned and after that the shell deteriorated... had it been a split/sell group I might have continued but getting a relic for some jerk I didn't even like was not high on my priority list.

For gear and for....dare I say it? For fun and glory!

This is simply a poll.

I am curious as to why people do dynamis. Out all the myriad possible variety of answers, I'm looking to boil it down to two possible answers:

1. Cuz I like to do it.
2. Cuz I'm after armor/relic.

I -did- it because I was farming a relic. Little did I know it'd be for naught ):.

(2). I just want the stuff. The update they're planning will help a lot-instead of the LS leadership getting all the coins(and their recent fixation on Abyssea), I can go in to dynamis with a friend or two anytime we want, fight on our own time, and farm up coins the same way one would farm anything else. Once I have Excalibur(and snag Atonement), I can think of what else I want to do. Probably +2 empyrean armor.

1) Its fun which boiled down to this: at 75 my SCH made a lot of BLMs look bad, and parsing my BLU against other members/friends was fun seeing which DD would be on top.
2) Armor for myself and others. I actually enjoy helping others as well as helping myself as long as it is fairly equal.

My favorite event. It's just fun to do it, plus it often pays nice (got over 500k on our best run for everyone), with TH6+ on mobs and easy targets can gets lots of money. And there's still the occasional piece that may be useful to some LS members.

I enjoy the group dynamics, the fun..lol the dying. My LS (what use to take 2 alliances now is done with 11-13) uses it for personal financial gain, but out of possible 8 runs a month 2 to 3 runs a month go to the two guys building relics and the other 5 or 6 goes to a bank shared by the group. We rotate thru the whole thing, cities, icelands, dreamlands. It seems to be a last frontier of the old world. Plus now we have people who need certain clears for trials.

I like it and there are some relic armor that I need(some armor pieces suck, but some are still important).

ive always liked doing dynamis, ive even shelled out the 500k out of my own pocket for a run that i just wanted 1 piece for, (blm hat finally after 6 years!). and even tho when i finally got my blm hat it was worthless cause i had emp blm+1 hat, it was still just getting that effen thing after so many years of chasing it.
now my mithra mannequin proudly wears it and i also managed to get lucky with my lots for RDM hat, yay!
