    Of course people will run out of quests, but they will still have the gear from the ones they've done already, it's not like that just turns to dust on you. They won't have any real reasons to farm the dungeons. GC gear is easy enough since fates will fill your company seal wallet.

    Best case, a person runs the low~mid level dungeons enough on one job to get all the drops from it then never returns, leveling at most 1 class in this way to get it all. More likely, they get 0~2 pieces from when they had to run them for the story line and supplement the rest with bought gear, mostly GC with the seals from fates.

    Consider that a person who is willing to speed level anyway isn't really concerned with gear or learning the class/job/role, they aren't going to be concerned with 'perfect' gear for each class/job.

    I am not arguing that they will not eventually have enough gear to skip it all together. The basis of both of my previous comments was that they will eventually end up in a dungeon. You call it "best case." I call it the reality of the situation. Fate is solo content and dungeons are group content that rewards with gear and exp. If someone doesn't want the gear then they don't have to do the dungeon. Speed levelers will always rush through content and I applaud SE for not having a knee jerk reaction to it. They are like RMT an issue yes but a problem you can control, no.
