Speed Runs, Getting Carried & Exploits

[Yucie]

It makes me very sad to see so many players rush-rushing to endgame and getting fully geared in such a ridiculously short amount of time. It worries me, to see people getting there so quickly. Everyday I see people skipping over content, using exploits, buying & selling gil and in general getting carried through the game.

That's terrible! People shouldn't be allowed to do that. These people are only gonna end up hurting themselves and their raids later on. Sure…they might have the gear, but they don't have the skill. They didn't get where they are through hard work and perseverance. They didn't earn the right to wear that gear.

People gearing themselves faster than you have no physical effects on your gameplay. Get over it.

Actually... it kinda can. Not saying I agree with everything OP is saying, but it surely can. When you see 'geared' people in a duty finder group for a dungeon, you normally think 'Wow this is going to be easy.' Right? Not the case 60% of the time. (rough estimate... lol)
