Amdapor Keep Changes Unfair

[Melopahn]

Im totally ok with killing trash... The issue is I've never played a game where the trash mobs are a bigger waste of time. They are all loaded with health and offer 0 incentive to kill them. No EXP No Money No "Good" Items *(I am defining good as an item that i dont consider a waste of bag space, which is every item they currently drop.)

Dont be smart asses 1 gil is a waste of time..

[Alphawins]

They didn't make it longer at all. They've actually made it the intended length they decided on when they designed this part of the game. The "speed run" exploit made it faster, is all.

intent is a mute point since it HAPPENED already and there were no roll backs thusly, unfair

You don't have to do speed runs to get end game gear.
Take up a craft and earn enough gil to make HQ ilvl 70 gear.

And this tells me you know nothing of the ilevel 70 crafted gear. You need double the amount of tomestones in materials from the darklight vendor just to make one piece for the slot you are trying to fill. Learn your fact before you go saying stupid things. (this is not counting all the OTHER mats you need either)

[AnkoYaoi]

A lot of things aren't fair.

Just saying.

you dont need to run AK for tier 1 tomes...run castrum with an 8 man, takes about 25min and is utter faceroll you dont even need to kill half the mobs, you use the cannons to kill them all after the second boss.

maybe if you have a group of people who have all done it before and no one watching cutscenes, otherwise it turns into a whinefest of people grinding tomes telling people who are enjoying the story to watch it in the inn.

p.s. this still doesnt do anything to the minimum 8 hour grind to cap mythology every week

[Rhen]

This shizz is a mess.

[ARytheart]

I agree with you there Rhen

[Astralis]

Yup unfair but this is life.

Se did fcked up though giving people some unfair advantages usually causes downfall.

The sad part is, since the speed run nerf, people are requiring geared players to run ak and castrum so basically only those who exploited it are the ones who can run it. Others are stuck with pugs who cant even get pass the 2nd wall.

I guess its deadend for those who havent had the opportunity to do fast runs

See, the AF2 gear isnt the only option at that point. Im absolutely fine with the Mythology tokens being a means of supplementing raid gear. Same in WoW with Valor points. Except Valor isnt a huge pain in the ass to get, and you dont actually need it, as getting in to the end game content isnt a huge hurdle. Its the endgame itself is the hurdle (fairly low set hurdle, but fun).

The grind for Darklight is boring. And theres not another option. The crafted ilevel 70 gear is crap in comparison.

crafted ilvl70 gear w/ melds is far superior to darklight
