Solutions to stop speedrunning

[Moqi]

ppl speed run because the content they speed run are NOT meant for them ilvl wise, but meant for them reward wise
thats all there is to it :P

That's definitely part of the problem. Dungeons are too easy but the alternatives are CT or coil. I would llove for the next 3-4 dungeons hm to be around ilvl 70-80.

And for everything lower, lvlsynch.

Make it where when 2-3 parties of mobs are together they can LB something no tank could survive!

on a side note i like speed runs with the low amount of tomes that drop its hard to farm lol

I'd be kinda into an ilevel sync for this purpose, but I know people wouldn't be super fond of it.

I don't understand the people who argue against level sync as "we hit 50 and are supposed to feel powerful".

I'd much rather have I've hit 50 and now i can do i50 dungeons for i60 gear, and then get i70 gear from i60 dungeons, so that I can get i80 gear to do i80 dungeons so I can get i90 gear to do i90 dungeons.

But the problem is ilevel. In a game where we hit level 50 as max level, and we can already hit level 110 with gear, what would be the point of increasing the level cap. Especially since we don't even have any real i70, i80, or even i90 4 man content.

It seems to me the biggest problem is SE requiring so much grinding to begin with. People wouldn't pressure so hard for speedruns if it weren't 95% of the people doing the dungeons, because while a new person to the dungeon might be looking for a piece of loot or something, the rest of the community is grinding it ad-naseum several hundred times for myth and/or the weekly soldiery caps.

I dunno, I get unltimately the real reason for grind requirements on repetitive content is to stretch that content, but I dunno, I think this game is too mindless-grind aside from Coil. And I know FF has a long history of being king of the grind and all, but I think there's better ways to implement it. In fact, I like the idea of solo daily quests better for most of the 'grind' stuff that way it'd be a little more segmented in what/why people are running specific content; as-is, the 'dailies' just don't give enough reward to choose them over doing dungeons.

Currently speedrun is just optimizing your performance, why have to speed down when not necessary?

Why enter a dungeon if you don't have an hour to spend running it?

I think above question is irrelevant.

wut, where does it say you need/require an hour for a dungeon?

god no! no more dailies .... unless they are leve style (aka buffered dailies), that way you can atleast choose when you want to do them
