This is the result of all the bitching about speed runs before they made all the changes. If the dungeons where never messed with to begin with you wouldn't be having this issue so much. AK trash mobs have some funky def and take longer to kill. Not running that dungeon with IL55 gear no more cause it takes to long. WP use to be abandoned so you only got newbs not noobs in it. It was fun. If people could still sac pull trash in ak a couple under gear newbs could get carried and collect tomes fast. You could do WP in your AF. Not now since mytho tomes drop there. If people wouldn't have complained about wanting to watching cut scenes in CM you could be in full DL by now. Nope.... Now CM is abandoned and the newb dungeon WP is the best place to farm cause AK has crap trash mobs. SO now your only choice is to DF till you get some gear and then try and catch up.
Thought you could kill the speed run but all ya did was make entry level requirements tougher on yourselves. The more they screw up thing to force one playstyle the less chance you'll have to participate cause the speed runners are gonna figure out something new and it will get popular and you'll be left out again.
Personally I think requiring DL and a relic for any content pre coil is just dumb. DL for titan yes cause you need that shit. Its A level 70 fight. All content before is level 60 garuda/AK or 55 ifrit/WP. Think about what ya bitching about in the future cause you'll probably end up in a situation like this every time content gets adjusted to please the cry babies. Your stuck with DF till you make some friends.

Not directed at only the OP but anyone who has this problem. Got to remember that 50 content is heavily populated with people who have more than one 50 class and gearing them in DL and getting relics is a chore after the first couple times. All of you that whined about how people rush through to end game are now feeling left out cause they wanted to enjoy the environment or what ever the hell they was doing. Now that your at 50 you see the wide gap in gear requirements and feel like your being shunned. Just need to lay back and enjoy the environment more cause you aint catching up to the relic speed runners anytime soon. Dont get in a rush for gear now that your 50. Should have joined that party With your main class a month ago.
