Speed runs aren't actually that speedy

[AlternateTrigger]

I'm saying speed runs are pointless in the long run. The side effects of speed running far out way the benefits in my opinion.

........... How many packs d you skip in :
-WP
-AK
-PS
-CM
-HM
-Castrum
-Praetorium

Then, how many times do you wipe ?

If by skipping these packs, you are, in average, losing time, 3 letters are enough : L2P. The majority of speedruns are a fail when the tank and/or the healer are bad, when the tank takes 3 packs with low ilevel gear, or the healer is undergeared (the tank is just stupid) or when the healer is just bad. A few months ago, a "normal" run of WP was 25-30 and a speedrun was 15-20. A speedrun was still faster if the group didn't wipe 2/3 times.

That's two letters and a number.
