    Completion Timers for Fights

    Remember in XI when you beat a boss fight and it said the time you completed it in and who on the server had the fastest win?

    Please add it to this game.

    Add it to Boss fights & Dungeons.
    Boss fights that are both a dungeon and a boss fight like Turn6-8. Make the clock start as soon as the boss room is locked.
    For fights that start over and players get echo buff that makes it go faster to beat records, the timer doesn't reset until everyone has their echo buff removed.

    No. Please no.

    Not only was it practically worthless in FFXI due to the fact it wasn't actually 'permanent' (it was wiped every time the servers went down for maintenance), here in FFXIV we already have a problem with players speedrunning dungeons.

    No need to give the speedrunners even more incentive to ruin the experience of playing a dungeon and watching cutscenes for new players and those who just wish to play a dungeon as it's meant to be played just to have someone's name 'immortalized' as 'beating the record time for that dungeon/trial/raid/nose-picking-contest.'

    I vote yes for adding it, but only for pre-made parties and maybe they could have a selection for time-trial for the instance for pre-made pts to enter.
