Speed Runs, Getting Carried & Exploits

[Amyas]

I don't get where you equate that with not being able to play correctly.

Too many full DL people in AK that cause wipes at last boss time and time again, and fall off at the wall, time and time again (and the sad thing is they rarely get the acheivment for clearing the map, so they were most likely carried before, or just lucky). I'm at the point where I'm more reassured at seeing people in full AK gear or AF in AK than DL.
And you know the ones that wipey-wipe in AK in full DL didn't get their tomes from TWP or other low level dungeons...

Yay, another fresh level 50 who didn't even try endgame (not even one piece of DL) and laments why ppl speedrun places like CM.

Makes sense, I haven't been able to experience that yet. How exactly does one fall off at the wall? There's no need to run that far lol.

Total Mythology to get AF2 + Hero's jewels and blt: 5,385.
17.95 weeks (18 weeks).
Total Mythology to get +1 on all AF2 + Relic: 6,300
21.00 weeks
Total for AF2+1= 11,685 Mythology
38.95 weeks (39 weeks)

300 Myth = 75 Ifrit Hard Mode Runs
300 Myth = 7 AK + 5 IHM

I worked hard for my gear, I was 50 in, or right after the first wave of them, when nobody was geared up yet, and fights were difficult. So keep your assumptions to yourself.

CM is piss easy and the only good dungeon to run because Praetorium has the relic bug which causes the relic quest to drop otherwise everyone would farm that for tomes instead of Castrum. So this "everyone being geared and does not deserve it" crap I don't see where you're getting from considering how easy it is to get gear.

You want to complain about people not knowing their class? Blame Yoshida for making everything up to 50 piss easy and a "tutorial" in a sense.

I'm assuming they're just running it for the first few times and haven't hit robot-mode there yet. Its just odd for me because DL should mean you're already passed that point, you know? Its ilvl 70 gear in an ilvl 60 dungeon, and you can't even be bothered to run away from the purple lines? Or keep your camera fixated correctly on the wall? After six wipes because of that? RAHHHH.

It makes me very sad to see so many players rush-rushing to endgame and getting fully geared in such a ridiculously short amount of time. It worries me, to see people getting there so quickly. Everyday I see people skipping over content, using exploits, buying & selling gil and in general getting carried through the game.

That's terrible! People shouldn't be allowed to do that. These people are only gonna end up hurting themselves and their raids later on. Sure…they might have the gear, but they don't have the skill. They didn't get where they are through hard work and perseverance. They didn't earn the right to wear that gear.

People gearing themselves faster than you have no physical effects on your gameplay. Get over it.

Actually... it kinda can. Not saying I agree with everything OP is saying, but it surely can. When you see 'geared' people in a duty finder group for a dungeon, you normally think 'Wow this is going to be easy.' Right? Not the case 60% of the time. (rough estimate... lol)
