Why you not just admit you want speed run go away because the problem you cant do it?

To be clear, Speed Run is nothing to do with drop rate. People want clear stuff faster and faster, JP already use 6 drg to kill Princess within 45 second even 17 or 25 mins easily achieve by blm.

You're right, but it has everything to do with getting all the chests to pop, which in turn affects drop rate. Guess what your drop rate is on HDL without a speedrun? it's 0%

the only speed chest is the bodies. don't exaggerate the issue here.

You are definitely clueless, you can only get greens without speedrun. Elitist pricks :|

You can get dl in a 59 minute run? since when?

You can but the drop rate is too low for it to be feasible.

EXACTLY ! where is the enjoyment of being a prick about 10 seconds slower on a kill? And again, where is the skill in memorizing a fight and oping your gear? how bout achivements for beating dungeons with gimped gear ? being at a disadvantage and getting the win seems like it would take more skill then spaming the same thing 100 times with the same 8 players in triple melded gear. Nothing wrong with being efficient, but to say that it takes skill to do so is a stretch.

1000% agree

I agree with Molly and others that are stating the same thing in varying degrees. The speedruns to up the percentage in loot drops is the worse idea ever. Whoever thought of that idea needs to be spanked with a custom made spank paddle with their name on it. The custom-made spank paddle needs to come with a wall mount so it is hung in their office to serve as a reminder to never, ever come up with a stupid idea like that again. If they do, they are gonna get a whoopin'.

Need actual difficulty >_>
