    "Speed Run" trend

    This is not a platform game.

    Speed run: doing everything hastily. A RPG is not about that. I liked the idea of speedruns at first, just because of Lodestone achievement. But now, you need to do everytime speedrun to (not) get certain items.

    Again, this is a RPG: why, instead of lolspeedrun, not put -example- an optional HARD boss to make the fifth chest spawn?

    Cmon...

    RPG = Roleplaying Game. I can't see why RPG is not about (supposedly) saving the world hastily, instead of lazily partying it out while the bad guy destroying the world.

    Like I said in the other thread...get rid of the speed run and instead just make the boss actually a challenge and/or the whole instance!!! I rather fight a really difficult boss then speed through easy mode to "save the world" with no sense of accomplishment because the instance was such a joke.

    Sure, someone maybe like it fast. Then, do it fast. No one is saying you or others cant.

    But why fifth chest for speed run? If anything, speedrun should only give an achievement, company seals or higher drop rate on the normal 4 chests.

    Should be a bonus, not something which can give exclusive stuff not obtainable in other ways. And the sad thing is that speedrun gives actually THE BEST CHEST. Hell, again: this aint a platform game. Give us exclusive stuff for killing harder mobs or stuff like that, not for doing everything quick...

    Speed-running takes coordination and commutation.
    Which many groups can't seem to get together.
    It seems those who complain the loudest about 5 chest runs are those who can't do it.

    A LOT of people can and do do speed runs all the time complain about them. Don't for one moment pretend its a good game mechanic to hide the good gear behind.

    Speed Runs is a good 'mechanic' for being able to maximize the number of chests you can open up per night (or hour).

    If it takes you 20 minutes to win instead of 40, you can open twice as many in a night.

    I think this is sufficient reward for speed run (and sufficient incentive).

    It's not about "can" or "cant". It's not about difficult or easy. It's about pace.

    Again: speedrun could give achievement + seals + higher drop rates on rare items of chests. I'm not saying "abolish" it. Again: it should be just a bonus, should not give stuff you cant get in other ways.

    Also: what Asiaine said.
