Is it still to early for speed runs?

[KisaiTenshi]

One week? I saw PF's up one day after with the "know your s#%t or you will be kicked".

Those people will be waiting an awful long time then.

I'm of the opinion that "speedpulls" aren't going to be viable until one generation of "tomes" gear goes by. Unlike ARR launch where people wanted full darklight just to WP and AK... you know the very same dungeons that give the tomes in the first place, it's still possible to get usable drops from just the EX dungeons. Hell in a single run through Neverreap at the bare minimum 142 ilevel I got 4 items for my job I was playing. That's something that NEVER happened in any of the ARR dungeons. That brought the ilevel up to 150. The first time through "The Vault" did something similar. The ARR dungeons you were lucky if you even got one item that anyone in the party could use.

Like I think the "rare gear" drops from chests have changed in a way to actually consider the party composition. The only other drops during that run were for Dragoon (one of the DPS party members) and Tank. Or maybe it's just a coincidence. On the other hand... the SAME item dropped twice.
