FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Updated (Sep. 11)

I'm pretty sure 30 minute auto-logout is something that can easily be worked around...

What could they have changed the monsters to discourage speed runs I wonder.

Put monsters in the "safe" zones where people go for the tank to wipe/get raised? Alternatively I guess they could have just made it so everyone is on enmity list when tank pulls... I don't actually see how that would solve anything though, I had one bad run before second boss where everyone died, but Swiftcast + Resurrect = who the hell cares, and I'm pretty sure if you open the door quickly you can avoid any mobs they sit in that area... We'll see, I guess.

Worst case (not for me, I basically loath the concept of speed runs, at least for the first few runs) I guess they could make it so that line that blocks exit from the boss room after 15 seconds from aggroing it is there until you clear all/most of the monsters prior to it... Meaning you have to kill them to get access (sort of like how Tam-Tara makes you have to kill the imps/etc).

I haven't had any issue logging into the game in ages, so I'm not gonna care if I get auto-disconnected by being afk atleast. Especially seeing as not everyone will try prevent it, so it should get easier to log on either way.

Likewise, occasionally a queue at 4~6 people, but even then it only takes a few minutes. I'm just saying, auto-logout was probably never going to solve anything anyway.
