Forced stops in new 4 man dungeons

[Gamex]

Enjoy it while you can, it seems TT is shaping up to be the new SR ID

Don't understand the problem. New dungeons are short and fun. Keep speedrunning Brayflox, oh, I forgot it gives less tomes now - how sad.

Actually I'm happy about this I've been booted for not wanting to speedrun although I do agree some it is a bit ott

Failing to see the problem here, sounds like a change for the best.

How can something which prevents people from choosing how they play possibly be good?

This is my issue, I've no problem with some forced stops, but the amount in the new 4 mans is too much. They've gone overboard.

I'm not counting the bosses as stops. Read what I said properly.
The bosses have text dialogues before they even spawn, they literally waste time. Those are stops.
In certain fights monsters become invincible for periods of time, those too are stops. Saying "well they're just mechanics" is silly, because they're designed that way, therefore intended as stops.

You know, MMORPGs have RPG in it, and i think you are clearly playing the wrong genre, if u dislike it this way.
but why am i telling this to someone who likes tank and spank.

You're posting on the OF about a problem mostly created by the OF.

And thank goodness for that. Speedruns bring out the inner jackass in some people.

I'd tend to agree. I've seen more ragequits over speedruns than any other reason. *shrugs* Personally speaking, I like the fact that you actually have to accomplish objectives a little more involved than "pull everything into a pile and nuke it" in order to proceed in the dungeons. I love all of the new ones. ^^

IKR! They should just add a tele at the start of every dungeon that just takes you straight to the last boss.....and a switch that just instakills him so you don't have to waste your time actually dpsing him.
In fact when you log in to FFXIV you should automatically have all classes maxed out and your retainer should just give you every single item in the game ever so you don't have to waste your time running any of the content at all.

Wow, way to miss the entire point. Speedruns are anything but what you describe. Honestly in the long run it's the only way to keep a dungeon fun, even Tamtara is going to get boring after you've seen it the 100th time.
