Painstakingly make crafted gear, run wanderers palace. Delevels back to 55. Why the hell did I make it then? When I could have just grabbed something some the dungeon itself and called it my end game gear? Why farm for darklight gear if its gonna be deleveled? Why do coil only to have THAT gear deleveled? I understand the suggestion, but its a silly one at its very core. Why? Because like others have stated in this thread, you can knock people down to for example Darklight gear alone in Wanderers palace, and you can still do speed runs

whats next level 55 gear? That's still possible to do a speed run under 20 mins. Class priority for speed runs would just shift to more optimal setups and thats that. Your idea in particular wouldn't end speed runs or facerolling, you just move around classes instead and slow everyone else down.
