WoW is WoW and XIV is 1.0, the current system most likely puts a lot of strain on the system so something that may look simple in WoW such as multiple instances isn't possible with the way the game is currently setup. When 2.0 comes around they may be able to change "challenges" from speed runs to something else by allowing more people to enter said instance. As it stands now however speed runs and such are used to alleviate the instance server strain so that people breeze through events quicker so that other get the chance to do events without being limited by the limiting instances allowed.
