Why Speed Pulls?

[MrCookTM]

I do it for poetics, zodiac and items, but especially because I find them fun, otherwise I wouldn't even bother doing them...you know why? SE pumps out content so fast that everything you worked for will be useless next content tier patch anyway.

These content tier patches come out every 6 months and even then the former tier is still relevant for at least another month or two, don't act like it will be useless shortly after release. If running dungeons is fun for you, that's cool and your personal opinion and i respect that. But let me remind you what your original complaint was: people want to speedrun to get the stuff done quickly. Might this be the case because, you know, there are lots of other people like me that don't enjoy running the same, unchallenging 'tank and spank content' that doesn't drop useful (outside of desynth) stuff all over again, just to i.e. cap poetics? Hmm yeah, if you encounter a ton of ppl insisting on speedruns, this might be the reason...

Why do you play? Showing off?

To play content that isn't just killing 100 trash mobs. It's cool the first few times because it is well designed, i love how much love SE puts into the details and I like the atmosphere and music of some of the instances. But gameplay wise it's just faceroll through it without thinking (which it has to be in order to be DFable without frustrating wipefests) and thus, i do not find it fun. That's just it.
