Why is Brayflox HM so short. Mytho Farm abuse

[catacombs]

Did the devs not realize you can beat Brayflox in the time it takes to get to the wall boss in AK? Its as if the dng is missing an entire section.

This has lead to abuse Spamming the 1st 2 bray bosses for mythos. I have friends who do this who already having their animus bc of it.

IMO abusing bray for mythos goes against the spirit of the game and something should be done to stop it.

Here a thread you might find interesting.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...p-speedrunning

SE announced major game changes for next patch. I wouldn't worry about anything right now, including speed runs. I personally think speed runs are nice way for us to get our gear quicker, as they will be soon outdated. So it is a bit less depressing to work for it, ...because you know, next patch, something better will come.

So now speed runs are "abuse"? Huh? There's nothing abusive about farming a dungeon. So long as everyone in the group wants to SR of course.

[Andevom]

How does it go against the "spirit of the game"?

Grinding for something in an MMORPG and choosing the path of least resistance? Unheard of!

I don't like speedruns, but I'd hardly tell people they shouldn't do them if they want to.

I think by "spirit of the game" the OP meant the way he thought the game would or should be (in his own personal opinion). I hope I guessed that right, because Yoshi-p and everyone at SE has been pretty communicative, open and obvious as how the game is evolving. He sound disappointed in his experience as a gamer and refuse to accept SR as an alternative, therefore wants to discriminate it. Instead of just quitting the game, he puts hope in changes.

I don't think he meant to tell anyone what to do. He wants SE to change the way they are currently evolving the game.

I say, don't worry, everything will change soon.

I'd like to remind the OP that he have a choice in not participating in those Bryaflox runs. Also, a quick question: Why do you think those Braflox runs are so popular?

I see no issues with speed runs. Generally the only people who complain either can't do them or aren't geared for them so feel it's unfair. Is it fair to also say a group of ilvl 100s downed titan ex faster then a group of ilvl 80s? If you can't do it don't, if you don't like it just play normally. It's an option to do if party agrees on it so let them play there method.

the whining from somebody who left behind as playing unwanted job for speed running ?

Myself and several healers I know complain about speed runs all the time. The tank will just start them up without letting anybody know ahead of time, and then get pissy when they die or their health gets too low. We can do them, it's just a PitA and an annoyance. It's reaching the point where we're about to just start letting any tank who tries to speed run without mentioning anything die CONTINUOUSLY, until they pull small mob groups.

When people keep running AK like they had to before the bazillion nerfs to it, yeah.
