EXPLOIT: Amdapor Keep

[Burritoboy]

A lot of you are commenting on what the developers intent are for dungeons. Do you see one post by a developer on this thread or any other by that matter. You don't so please stop guessing what their intent is. I have done full clears and fast clears in this dungeon. Quite a few times when I was attempting to fast clear with the group they couldn't get passed the first or second boss. It would have sucked to do a full clear and find out that out. I will let SE decide about this and adjust accordingly until then I will play how the group I join wants to play. I am a ranged dps I don't get a instant group I have to wait an hour or two sometimes. I'm sorry if you feel this is ruining the game but let SE decide.

They could put all the mandatory trash they want if they remove those pointless timers on everything. It would be nice if they added something worth having on the trash mobs. Maybe give bonus tombstones for killing all the trash in the place?

Give every mob a 10% chance to drop a tombstone, in staid of 10% chance to drop 1 gil and you`ll see a change.

I already dropped one game for not fixing trash running in their instances. I'd really like to not have to drop another.

[Goldfighter84]

they are trash mobs, of course people are gonna skip them if possible. Not to mention it takes 45 minutes to an hour to get into the dungeon. I'd personally like to skip trash If possible so I can get out and wait forever to get back in.

If a tank can't handle the mobs and makes the group unable to skip is it still an exploit or is it a privilege to one that can?

[Valiant]

All I have to say is how is it an exploit? Ever play WoW? Then I guess full parties of druids or druid/rogue mix should all be reported to blizz for skipping mobs in instances... or in FF11 using sneak and invis on whole party to skip trash. I will admit as of mists for WoW, there are dungeons where you need to fight trash in order to summon/fight a boss but go back to any previous expansion and alot of instances, with the right party set up, you can ignore all the trash and even some useless bosses.. Utgarde Pinnacle is a prime example. I can skip 2 boss in that instance and numerous other instances, but I guess they are all exploits... For 1.0 AV and CC tons of mobs were skipped. I used to do it in parties too... Especially AV where you get a dot on you for the whole fricken instance.

I wrote ticket to support and this was the answer:

"Greetings,

Thank you for contacting FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn support.
Thank you for wanting to make sure you are not exploiting our systems.

As of now there have been no official announcements that this problem is counted as an exploit. However this does not mean that it will not be counted as one in the future.

We would therefore ask you to be cautious and not try to use it in the meantime.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter and we wish you a very nice day.
Kind regards,

The FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn GM team"

Theres your answer, now stop fighting.

While it may not be an exploit it shouldn't be done like this, you put trash mob in there that needs the be fought before you get to the boss, If everyone does speedruns then no other dungeons will be done anymore simply cause this is the best and fastest way.

I'm on the fence regarding things like this.Is it or isn't it? I'm leaning more towards it is, since people are using this method as a way to farm gear faster, exploiting mechanics to gain an upper hand over other players who wish to stay legit. It's not a huge issue but something which I very much disagree with.

The repercussions of this though will harm others, you will get elitist type players calling you noob and throwing insults at you if you choose to kill everything.This then causes people to stop playing their role or stop playing all together. It will then be a downward slope as people find more and more ways to "exploit" game mechanics to their advantage while bullying those who choose to do it the "hard" way. For me, it should be fixed to keep the game neutral and fair across the board. Just my 2 cents.

[Astralis]

Then again, if they change the mechanics right now, people who havent had the chance to do this so called fast run will probably rage and cry because it is unfair that others gets to do it.

Specially now that se is still having problems with their log ins and servers.
