Bye Bye, Speed Runs. /dance

SE give us Slow Run, if dungeon clear after 59:55, 5th chest pop, happy?

yes id be frickin estatic!!! at least people could enjoy the game w/ the people they like to play w/ and more importantly allow them to play the classes/jobs they want to instead of optimizing bullshit that only causes more tension and is bad for a ls that has more than 8 members. the current version of ff14 is not very friendly to large ls groups the loots system/rate is atrocious. Ever notice in screen shots people post on these forums that usually only 4/8 of the ls members have dungeon gear/relic etc and more than half the remaining ls is left out?! And that just isnt because those people contribute the most; i bet alot of those people attend events/etc just as much as the well geared players who imo seem to be looking like Lootwhores these days. While people dont like VW from ff11 because yes the drop rates are BADDDDD. but at least people have a fair chance of gettin something for there hard work and everyone possibly is rewarded instead of the person who has the most points/plays the most/ doesnt have a damn life etc..... The loot system in 2.0 should remain private w/ the option to pass and item in certain instances if the player so chooses to; but the player should never feel they should have to give away what they rightfully earned or be bullied into by there LS.


and excuse my horrible typing and grammar today ive had 1hour of sleep some jackwagon drunk hit my truck last night and he had no insurance........./facepalm

If you think that's all they can do to change the mechanics, you're a moron. I'm not suggesting they do away with the speed run mechanic without putting something else in it's place. What I'm suggesting is that the requirement of the speed run as the only way to get a relic, needs to change. For example, a dungeon could have multiple paths, only one of which could be completed in a single run. In that case, the requirement for the relic could be that the player must complete all possible paths. But that's just one route they could take, I'm sure SE could come up with something better than that. Perhaps they could leave the speed run as an optional path for the relic, bypassing the longer requirement to complete all possible paths.

it's really not going to matter if they remove speed runs or not. people are still going to go with the setup that gets the content completed the fastest and most efficient way.

true but speed runs wont be required for rewards therefore less emphasis will be put on stacking.

Why you not whine about to killl certain mob to pop one chest?
Why you not whine about why need open all chest to make one chest pop?
Why you not whine about you need deactivate all the gate for chest pop?
Why you don't want above go away but Speed Run?
Why you not just admit you want speed run go away because the problem you cant do it?

To be clear, Speed Run is nothing to do with drop rate. People want clear stuff faster and faster, JP already use 6 drg to kill Princess within 45 second even 17 or 25 mins easily achieve by blm.

So, you are smart good to know

1st I'm not against speed runs, and second that last statement is full of shit, sure people want to get things done faster but the 5th chest pop is what is making people require certain jobs.

They should just give u all the drops while we're in our inns..

Beating the dungeons in 25mins is not that difficult and does not require job stacking whatsoever. It does require competent players who are familiar with the runs though.

people that know this know this, but there are plenty of people out there that think class stacking is required and do it.
