Let Players Speed Run Again

[Leigaon]

The sad fact is just because you don't always force people, doesn't mean others act the same way. You're upset with .S.E but it's because of the players who treated the speed runs to be so mandatory that it actually makes others not want to play is partly why they put in these potholes.

The mechanics set by S.E. are meant to be fun for everyone, at the same time it's feedback such as the constant pressure to speed run and the dislike of speed running from most of the community that brought this attention to S.E. You do say you're not mad at the players, but it trickles down to them and starts with them most of the time so you can't simply not include them.

Think of all the hateful people who just yell and scream at those who didn't perform right because:

* The tank isn't pulling enough mobs or is pulling enough but is dying due to iLV - DPS / Healers quit because they call the tank gimp since they want that tank to pull half the zone for the speed run.

* Healers who let their tanks die because they're busy spamming Holy which causes frustration with players and forces people to quit..making a dungeon raid even longer waiting for another person to pop up.

* DPS who don't know it's going to be a lock out set of mobs for the boss an instead want to take them down..the black mage gets frustrated and doesn't DPS.. or the DPS who goes ahead and pulls because the tank isn't pulling enough, brings the group back to the tank causing the white mage to just spam cure to keep him alive while the poor tank can't keep up.

we can go on for days with the actions that cause speed runs to go bad, people to get upset and eventually cause them to abandon duty or kick a player because they didn't grind Coils to get top gear so they can't get up there..or it's their secondary job that they love but they haven't had the time to gear it up to the other peoples level.

When you say speed runs..these are the things that come to mind. I've done speed runs don't get me wrong when they go flawlessly? I see my tomes go up like crazy and I'm happy but i'm not enjoying the fights. You have a mix and match of what people want. Lets start putting up ways to make what we are given something that's fun for everyone, lets change this from "I want my speed runs" to how we can adjust these runs to make them more fun to where we don't have the slow downs like you said but we don't have the speed run negativitiy..like what Kiara has said above whos is really making me miss my skillchains...now i'm thinking about my pup...kagekyio...i need a tissue.
