"Fix" Speed Runs? How about fixing the real issue?

I killed a Level 1 Ladybug on my level 50, it didn't give me gear or Gil.

WTF is up with that.

They just need to add merits or a similar system allowing exp at 50 to still be viable and people will be happy to clear trash.

To all the crybabies read the patch notes. not only the coffers offer better money rewards, they reduced the overall cost of repairs, lvl 50 items cost was reduced from 500 gil to 200 gil. please stop crying for clearly abusing an exploit at the cost of the tank. Good grief , we most definantly need an mmo for these people where they press one key and is awarded a legendary weapon.

My post was literally right before yours, open all the chests, if you get 7 bronze pieces you just paid for your run, if you get more then you profit

Well, that's not entirely true. I'd say it's more along the lines of players who play this game for it being FFXIV that do it without complaint. No different than those who play any other game for it being that game, treating each as a unique experience, rather than applying the same generic/stereotypical mouth-breather goals to anything they play. The same sort of people that still think repair costs post-patch is a detriment that they cannot upkeep.

Can't wait for all the whiny cry babies to quit this game and go back to playing WoW where everything is handed to them. we'll be left with the more mature community! I'll guess after their 30 days free are up, they will no longer be here. That will be the day for festivities! :D

I like how your whole statement relies on "if".

Make progress in a dungeon require players to kill the trash mobs first.

Problem solved.

I suggest you should now start a thread complaining about the others dungeons don't have speed run.

Every dungeon has a speedrun, same mechanism. Its just people dont bother with it, just AK, WP because of points.

What SE also needs to address is the amount of tomes dropped by hard primals. Really, 10 philosophy tomes and 4 mythology tomes from beating ifrit? At least double it or something.
