Let Players Speed Run Again

[Delorean]

I have not missed the point of the overall thread, nor have I missed the point of individual posts and comments. Not like you seem to have.

Going by some of the arguments, there is not a SINGLE dungeon in this game that can be used as a speed run. Everything is gated. What, I can't log into Brayflox HM and the final boss is right in front of me? I have to kill trash first (gated), before killing the bosses (gated), before the final boss to get my rewards? Every single dungeon is gated.

If you haven't missed the point of the thread, then you're basically just saying things for the sake of not losing an argument because you actually care enough to get the last word in an argument.

You're really just arguing semantics at this point and grasping at straws.

Yes, you can speedrun a dungeon that is gated. Siege of Niuzao Temple of World of Warcraft is a pretty prime example. But most people will tell you that they hated having it in the random dungeon queue rotation because so much of the time it took to progress through it is wasted on the same damn rp you have to watch every time you do the dungeon.

And you just replied, to get the last word in an argument as well? This is not an argument to win or lose. It is just to give opinions.

I get the point of the thread. You cannot win ilvl 150 gear in sub-5 minute runs that you can repeatedly farm without any lockouts, weekly caps, or anything else. I get it. I also get the point of those that give a different opinion, that they do not like speedruns. Or, that you CAN still try to go as fast as you can regardless of dungeon.

I quit WoW because of the ilvl / elitist / speedrun attitudes, where WoW even enabled it. When every new dungeon was nothing but a short tunnel run of AoE zerging, and where they even neutered older dungeons to enable the same. If I wanted that I would go play a fighting game that has a hit combo counter for score.

I have my own opinion, and I am also fortunate enough to see and understand both sides of it.
