The problem with the journey in raids is that if the journey provides no rewards, people will skip it. People got a DRG or NIN to skip T10 journey to boss. People sac pulled T1 to get to boss. People skipped T3 entirely. People immediately ran to boss room in T8, skipping as many adds as possible.

I'm sure many skipped by getting shortcut carries off other groups.


They can't make trash give drops, because people will just farm trash. And if they make the trash actual fights, then you need longer in the instances because you have to prog multiple fights, or clear multiple longer fights. If every floor has a "door" fight and a "boss" fight its just a big mess IMO.



Just look at Alex and the plethora of Fausts.
