I'll quote something I wrote in the Duty Finder thread several months ago:

Oh well, I'm getting the rhythm down.
Even if the FFXIV X FFXV event ended, you still have people doing the event for the 2 million MGP mount since it was released.

Nowadays, I just take a little extra time to angle my jumps and focus on getting from one platform to the next. I already got my Golden cactaur collection achievements, so no rush for me on my end.
