The change effecting speed runs and what SE can do more to help player base.

I started doing these dungeons on the weekends and well hearing this after only clearing AK once with my awesome free company aggravates the fuck out of me for the reason that doing this with randoms blows ass. I have probably done Wanderers Palace now over 20+ times and that how i got most of my tomes. I normally go bard i originally wanted to go SMN to AK but i kept hearing things from my friends that have run it and so on saying that SMN is the worst for AK, So i queue up as bard all the time.

Like i said I only beat AK once that was with my friends in the game, aside from that all the other times i have done it was with randoms who normally quit at Demon Wall. So yea this news pisses me off.

Now as for the change again its upsetting and i agree with alot of your opinions on the matter but one of you in particular is acting like a complete elitist which well thx for quitting. I have played the game since 1.0 this version is amazing better even but they dumbed it down WAY to much which even boggles my mind how new players dont know how to do the simplest things. Like I help when someone asks in /sh so on but just some of these ppl seem to need the game to get dumbed down more so which in now way is a good thing.

So yes make the trash mobs drop for more gil and 2-5 tomes per mob that would be worth us going through the dungeon 5+ times

Give us another way to get tomes like lvl 50 guildheists maybe or leves that require 8 man parties.

Give us Hard mode versions of the other dungeons like with random enemy placement cause personally knowing where the mobs are every time is mad boring, or hey make the bosses in before the main boss different like make a flame dragon and then the next time its an acid dragon or golem that spawns miny golems.

The Devs should have asked themselves "Why are people skipping content?" You could say it was to get tomes faster, that is one reason. The main reason is that the trash offers no real benefit. No experience, no gil, few drops. Why would anyone want to kill trash... This is where the Devs and gaming community seem to have a disconnect. If you make things meaningful, and worthwhile, most people will do it. If trash had a chance to drop addition loot/tomes/Allagan pieces more people would be interested in killing it. Maybe if you could gain experience towards another job. Add a bonus to the end of the dungeon for killing more trash. I could go on like this all day...

Seems like we are still fighting a budget shortfall for this game. New content costs money, right now I think they are probably doing all they can to keep things running with no funds.

That caveat aside remember they have to slow down the majority of the player population so that Crystal tower with ilevel 85 gear is still somewhat relevant. Your crazy folks who game as their chief hobby are going to find a way to get the ilevel 90 stuff anyway. So in a sense yes they are slamming the door shut on AK but only because they want the weekend warriors salivating for Crystal Tower.

They're keeping the grind until more content comes out. No real endgame if you don't count primals since Coil isn't meant to be cleared yet. Endgame right now is basically token grinding for the dream of doing Coil.

Which is why I am just spending the time leveling other classes.... right now it's nothing but people making fun of people that haven't sped run gear... and farming the same instances over and over. These people are going to be very mad when content DOES come out and they make it massively easier to get that gear they farmed for...then they will be QQing.

Oh well, I'll just keept leveling classes... because right now- there is no endgame, imo.
