Bye Bye, Speed Runs. /dance

except now everyone will complain that the raids take too long. because that's what people here do. complain about everything.

Complaining is not the purpose of the Topic, and if the dev team keeps the promise and make the dungeon with enough fun, variety and balance (of course, not having one run last 6 hours, as not everyone could afford that), surely there would be more happy adventurers than less like now.
Again, I've yet to find in Eorzea or on this forum a single soul saying he or she enjoys doing the same content over and over with all haste and with the same Jobs.

I've a feeling that those who might not like the new system would be only those who got too addicted to the Speed Runs concept that they are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the actual system, that they will fight to protect it.

But I, for one, as long as the new dungeons are not hardcore-exclusive needing 10 hours straight to complete, couldn't read a better news these days. And personally I've faith in what the new Eorzea will bring.

nice no more rushing.

A simple enough way to prevent dungeons from being to long is adding reasonable checkpoints based on the casual player. So they could simple have dungeons that take 1-4hrs to complete but add a checkpoint every 45mins aka an area that should take 45 mins to get to to save your progress and continue on without having to start back from the start. Then you can just pick up where you left off with your friends and continue progressing through the dungeon without having to worry if you have enough time to do it.

it's really not going to matter if they remove speed runs or not. people are still going to go with the setup that gets the content completed the fastest and most efficient way.

It still helps us little LS's that like having people go on their favorite jobs or generally don't care what job a pickup member is as long as they are competent and chill.

oh yeah i'm not arguing that point at all. all i was pointing out is for the general public and groups that farm the content will still be rushing through and class stacking. i don't see that changing much at all.

Yea, that is true. Really my issue with speed runs has always been how restrictive it usually is for party makeups. With the new TP mechanics, animation lock going away, and position lag getting fixed though I could see this issue possibly balancing out in the end as being a melee would be a lot more intuitive.

true but speed runs wont be required for rewards therefore less emphasis will be put on stacking.
