SE, why to consider the validity of not hindering speed runs.

[Jeronlmo]

If you want to play fast food type of games, you shouldnt play this mmorpg. You should just play single player console game like Skyrim or at the best World of Warcraft. Dont expect every other player has same preference as you. I dont need someone head me everything on a silver plate.

This game like WoW is the definition of "fast food games" regardless of speed runs, you can get a relic in 2 1/2hrs from start to finish, you can do coil 1-4 in 2hrs, you can hit cap level in 2-3 days, nothing in this game takes any time, its instant gratification.

Speed runs are here because it cant not exist in this type of game, if you need something to progress in a game, and you give multiple ways to obtain whatever that is, one way will be faster, and that's what smart people will do (at least if you have to repeat it). Now if you can do this never-ending repeatable faster path, faster than others by gear/party comp, you do it. Why? Because shaving 20-30mins off of every single run is a lot of time.

People that barely play don't understand the amount of time it saves because they cannot see the other side of the fence. If you run praetorium once a day, or maybe ever, then yes, 30min's may not mean much, but if you run the exact same thing 200 times, 30min's x 200, that's 100hrs. To fully gear every job in just DL you need to run hundreds and hundreds of runs.
