Anti-Speed Run Mechanism

[pandabearcat]

Someone's already mentioned the solution before, and the solution is to make trash worthwhile.. We don't need more discussion. Once they do that, sure, stop speedrunning. But for now, if you do this, amdapor will be EVEN MORE CROWDED as runs take longer, and become a massive 2 hour long grind train and monsters still give absolutely nothing.

If you made every mob in amdapor drop 1 tomestone, bam. Instantly, I will clear the entire zone. Maybe 10% chance of a myth tomestone too.

And for those who want to stop this "exploit", you're only hurting yourself. Your queues will be longer, people won't run as much, and the people that you want to punish already have full darklight, and full 60 greens for all their toons, while you struggle to find the almost 15 (yes 15 hours, if we say 1.5-2 hours for a full run of amdapor) to cap out on myths every week.

I cannot upvote this enough. I haven't quite gotten to that specific point in the game yet, but I do dread it. The worst part is that such a simple fix as this one listed above would be enough to make most parties happy.

This right here sums it up. Once they do that and combine it with http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...471#post318471 (repairs patch), the community can mesh a little better.

I don't think you'll be correct about the dungeon running scheme of the casual players, but time will tell. By the time we get there (and ps4 players join us), they will probably (read: hopefully) have implemented something to account for the influx.
