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

[ilJumperMT]

This is NOT the real issue.

Doesn't matter what trash mobs dropped, if there was a way to exploit and run to the boss then all you speed-runners would do it anyways, REGARDLESS of what trash mobs dropped. And don't try to claim otherwise.

You think of mobs dropped Allagan pieces people would skip them?

There is NO deterrent for an exploit, so long as the boss drops better loot than the trash, then people will exploit and skip if possible.
Clearly there is a money issue with endgame players that just grind dungeons all day. As soon as said players make enough money from the Allagan pieces, that the Allagan money itself becomes "useless" then the exploiting would begin again. The only problem I see is that trash mobs should just be more difficult and drop crafting materials which can then be sold on the market. This game also contains Crafting/Gathering which are ways to make money if money is your focus.

Other than that, there's no reason for exploits to be in place, even if trash mobs dropped anything at all. I'm glad to hear the fix was implemented.
