Hahah wait.. are you serious?

Edited previous post to more accurately depict my point.

To answer your question toward me, no, I am not at the Coils either. Nor do I see what the rush is all about, or what the big deal is about Keep farming. Just from playing through the story, only doing Keep runs for my ilvl60 set, and helping a couple of FC friends with their last two story dungeons, I've got half of my Darklight gear already. That's after just one week, never going out of my way for any of it, and I'm so close to my relic that I can taste it. For me, gearing up hardly feels like the chore that you're making it out to be.

And there's nothing wrong with farming Mythology tokens every week before you get to Coils. That's not what I'm saying. It just strikes me as an unnecessary burden to put yourself through, considering that there are people who actually killed some of the bosses in the Coils on week two. Tell me again that Mythology gear is a requirement for beginning Coils? Yes, ilvl 90 gear may be a requirement for a full clear, but it drops from the bosses themselves, as do Mythology tokens. Some people have already been progressing that way for two weeks.

If you're spending your mythology this early in the game's life, then you surely aren't anywhere close to being 2000/2000 on tokens, in which case you're missing the point of them being there and spending them prematurely. When you get there, I hope you don't end up progressing through Coils where your kills per week are capped, only for your first month of drops to be useless because they occupy all of the slots that you immediately blew your tokens on.

All of that aside, even... if I really wanted to, checking the box to join an instance in progress has proven to net me 50-70 mythology tokens in 20 minutes on multiple occasions. A few hours to cap each week is hardly the torture that you're crying out about.

Speed runs were retarded. This fix was both welcome and necessary. Thy tears are delicious. ♥

Maybe SE should continue to hold our hands by further limiting the number of philosophy stone we can accumulate per week. There's nothin' wrong with pacing oneself and taking time to enjoy things as opposed to OMG GOTTA GET UBERLEETGEAR SO FAST RIGHTNOWRIGHTNOWRIGHTNOWCAN'TWAITOMG MEFIRSTMEFIRSTMEFIRSTMEFIRST. Hehehehe...hilarious. ♪

We do need more variety in dungeons tho, which I'm sure are in works for 2.1. And heck, daily repeatable quests would also be a boon.

I have to farm?! In an MMO?!

Do we need to farm ?? Nooooo !! Please safe me !! Pretty toon you have .

I am happier with new gear when I really worked for it . Not like how easy you get the AF stuff .

For someone who critiqued my parenting/my 12 year old daughters playing of this game, you sure do QQ more than she does..

[Firon]

You have 7 days to grind stones and you can do it once a day 6 times a week then 2 times in another day. Op stop crying.

While i did love the fast tombs speed running was so boring.

I've been thrpugh endgame play on several games, geared up so many times i have lost count. Been server first and top arena ranked... but one piece of advice i can give you is if you are not getting as much enjoyment from the experience of getting to the top how much do you really think you are going to get and how long is that going to last when you get there? If yer not having fun going for those tokens now and running with the people in those instances maybe its time to re-evaluate what exactly it is you are looking for this game to give you? Just my two gil...

Well. At least now with the repair changes, killing trash is just pointless now, not harmful like it was before pre patch.

[Alaltus]

It would be nice if the trash was set up a bit more like how Qarn does trash. Certain trash mobs have unusual mechanics like the rock head that you have to kill on a switch and mobs that run away so they can ambush you later. Stuff like that is more interesting than simply going through the motion with each new group of enemies.

OMGZ I can't get all the best loot in the first week !!

Even WoW has Daily and Weekly restrictions on dungeons and raids.

[Hawklaser]

Yeah, it's funny how much they put into your head that one character can be all the classes..

But you can only really gear up one at a time.

Difference between leveling all the classes, and gearing them. If you expect to be able to gear up every class easily and quickly, better off making one character for each class to take advantage of the quests for initial gear and faster XP. It should take time to fully gear up each class for endgame, and odds are you are either gearing up a job you enjoy, or one that is in demand by your FC. So you use your tokens on your primary jobs you play often, and let the random drops that no one else needs fill out the others you are not actively playing.
