How SE is alienating talented players

[Jynx]

I am glad random people who like to play properly and appreciate the dungeon get the loot.

But there is specific loot you can only get from completing speed runs, so in a way they are rewarding speed-runners with a chance at loot nobody else can get if they can't speed-run.

[fusional]

we've done quite a lot of runs, probably close to 100 by now, and we have a total of 10 pieces of darklight- 3 of which are bodies. not exactly a rewarding drop rate.

we're really motivated to deck out an entire group in full darklight, but at this rate it will probably take a few months of constant runs, and it just isn't realistic to expect a group of players to maintain 15 speed run completions a day for 2-3 months straight.

sure, there isn't much content in the game right now and they want us to have something to do, and i understand MMOs work like treadmills- but this just feels like treading water.

eventually people get tired (or bored) and drown.

not sure what the exact answer is, but something should be done.

stuff

you seem to be attempting to play the part of the expert witness regarding a subject you have little to no experience with.

i don't recall any of us doing speed runs saying they're overly hard. in fact, most of us long for a greater challenge. that said, though- if it's so easy, do it.

and p.s. running through mobs is quite limited in av and cc speed runs. chest conditions are similar to DH, but not the same. the dungeons are similar, but not the same. just because you think you know about DH, don't pretend to think you know all about av/cc.

Right lets reward people who give a big FYou to the designer of the the dungeon and a big slap in the face to the balance team.

No, you should not be rewarded because you all slapped on buffs and ran through not fighting anything just to get to the very end and quickly zerg the boss. There is no skill, that is not a talant, thats just running and ignoring everything, wow what talent you have there.

Live with it. I am glad random people who like to play properly and appreciate the dungeon get the loot.

If you're just speed running through, then what is the point in having the mobs there at all or anything really? You may as well ask the devs to just make raids so that you Spawn at the Boss and you kill him for loots.

So glad this crap isnt in Guildwars 2 and you get rewarded for exploration and actual skill of getting through the dungeon.

I suppose playing since release as a Collectors Edition buyer, paying for 6 months ahead of time, and investing myself into an open-beta game isn't thanks enough. We are consumers, and you are the kind of imbecile who post on forums without really thinking before they write. It is not up to me to tell the developers thank you. In fact, it is my job to tell them where they are at fault so they (the developers, producers) can put out a better final product. By doing so, I hope more people will come and enjoy this game.

Speed runs are not difficult. But, the majority of the population hasn't done it yet. What does that say about peoples skill?

And I took the 2 minutes out of my day to look at your profile. You simply cannot come on this thread, and spew out some opinions when you have not even experienced any of the end game content. I will take back this comment if you are using an alt as your forum name, but for some reason I doubt it very much.

Furthermore, in cutter's cry, you don't just run through. There is actually killing going on. An entire weekend of raiding should not go unrewarded. That was my simple point.

You're both morons, for even supporting Speed Runs.

Also what I have done means jackshit. I frequently watch Live Feeds and been told everything by some pretty pro people who do Speed Runs regular, they all hate it, but they're forced to get all the loot.

I dont even Speed Run DH so wtf has that got to do with anything.

Dont quote me if you're going to try go down the "I know you and you dont know anything" route lols

SpeedRun requires Zero Skill.

No where did anyone say we love speed runs or think it's hard. I said its the "hardest content" in game.
I watch live feeds and talk to pro peoples. ROFL. Enough said.
I'm done posting to you.

You haven't done speeds run for either CC or AV. Infact, you haven't even cleared the dungeons yet but you will sit in here acting like you know what your talking about. I'm not saying speed runs are the hardest thing ever but to say they require zero skill coming from someone who hasn't done shit in the game is just funny. Don't worry, maybe doctor mog will hold your hand through the dungeons after server merge.

So what if I haven't? Does everyone who hail abuse when watching sports have an invalid opinion because they dont play in the big leagues? No of course not, they do have an opinion. I dont need to do it to have an opinion on it.

Why do people keep talking about speed runs like they take tons of skill?

Yet you haven't cleared even the basic dungeon.

You amuse me.
