Well the speed run only lasts right near the bridge area of before the 1st boss more or less. The rest wouldn't work anyways after the 1st boss. Saves them maybe 10-15 minutes from the run sometimes depending on the groups composition. I usually slow run it but catch flak. Its really about the group consensus these days.

Why would one NOT want to speed run AK? I can understand for CM and Praetorium, but AK??? It's not like there is any CS to enjoy...

unless you are the tank or whm.. You are not doing anything extra.

10-09-2013, 05:39 AMOrophinThe problem is they already put things in place to stop this the first time. Now people are blatantly playing the game in a way the developers didn't intend. When people insist on using the tree strat for the first boss or other things that could be considered exploiting, I just flat out refuse. I don't join any local groups that spam for "speed run" AK either way.Quote:

Are you the tank I played with a couple of days ago who decided to afk after we questioned you about what you felt was so wrong with using the tree on the first boss?

that tree thing is absolutely retarded. By the time everyone gets up there the boss could be half dead.

10-09-2013, 05:04 PMCromaxIt takes all of 2 seconds to get up there and it makes the kill go much faster because DDs don't have to worry about killing golems.Quote:

10-10-2013, 12:16 AMCromaxExploits? No. I have no problems doing it the normal way and killing all the adds but being forced to run a single dungeon so many times each week for gear progression (until coil, which alleviates some of that) is really dumb so I have no problems with something legitimate that makes the run go faster. Now if it were an actual exploit such as glitching inside a wall, then I would feel differently about it and refuse to do it.Quote:

You're exploiting. And your reasoning that just because SE has it where you have to run AK for Myth (which I agree sucks) for so many weeks doesn't make it not an exploit.Quote:

everytime someone has insisted on the tree method, we've spent nearly an entire boss fights worth of time waiting for the healer to get into that tree.

10-10-2013, 11:25 AMCromaxUm, no. My comment about the myth farming was in no way an attempt to argue that using an exploit was ok. Good job completely twisting my words around though.Quote:
