Why everyone wants do PotD speed run?

[Shougun]

It doesn't matter how well the content is designed if the goal for said content is to be run repeatedly. As long as grinding dungeons for tomes for gear is the chore it is then people will find and opt for the fastest way to get tomes with minimal effort.

The ultimate goal for four man dungeons, unfortunately, is currency to be spent on endgame tier items. Because of this the content is quite literally a job. It is something we spend our time on to earn money.

Creating actually interesting content that people want to experience would require a dynamic shift to how gear and dungeons themselves work. I'm not saying that is a bad thing by any measure, but I doubt the dev team will be doing this any time soon.

Which is why I was suggesting we make the most efficient activity "doing it all". I covered that in the other post (and also talked that all needs should be considered, including light farming). People will /always/ go for efficiency, that is unavoidable, but you can change the bare minimum level.

I agree in the current standard designing interesting things, especially "options", would be ignored - because of how content is rewarded. But they could change it so that bringing the dungeon to full completion is the most rewarding thing, then they open up making more interesting content as something they can do that wouldn't be a waste of their time.
