"Fix" Speed Runs? How about fixing the real issue?

Why not?

If they reduce the amount the boss drops so the dungeon isnt producing more than expected (and make sure tomes are only rewarded on win)- would promote people to kill all the trash packs they could find (even ones that don't lead to the boss)

Looking back at it...I am a genius.

So what else should SE hand you? A lv 50 character? Hell, let's let each group of mobs drop tomes.

With the fate system, they already hand out level 50s.

I agree that rewards are misbalanced. You spend hours on a dungeon and quite often get nothing to cover the cost of repairs, or you join a FATE and kill 20 monsters at your level but only get 1 gil and no experience. Makes FATES and Dungeons not worth doing.

Also, getting to the boss is often not the reason for a speed run. Used to do speed runs for players doing quests and crafters needing items. And, of course, the achievement. But once you have completed a dungeon the only reason to go back is for crafting items.

I would be fine with it if they didn't add more mobs. If they kept it at the original amount I feel like people would be taking it a lot better. But increasing the number of mobs and removing the speed run ability seems excessive.

There's already Trash loot, it's called the coffers that give you allagan pieces and Aetherial loot.

Get to 50 and you'll see. In AK you get a few allagan BRONZE pieces, the same ones you get at level 20, and you get random green loot. Greens that usually no one needs if they have been farming for any amount of time and greens that you can't break in materia. Instead you can turn them in for seals that @50 you don't need for anything other then crafting/gathering scrolls or barding if you care about that.

This so called "trash loot" from the coffers you describe is good for people leveling in the 20-30 range but not for 50's. The allagan pieces should be at least gold and there should more of them in the instance

[Kletian]

Sorry to hear that, sounds like at least the allagan pieces should update. I can get silvers from level 30 quests after all.

The first monthly payment can't come fast enough. Hopefully it will weed out most of these "I want everything fast and now" people.
I'm sure SE loves putting time into dungeons for people to speed run them in 15-20 mins. Yes, 15-20... that's how fast some people
on my server were doing Amdapor Keep. Most of them had no idea there were even coffers in the dungeon between the entrance
and first boss... -_-

You want fast, easy, epic loot every 5 minutes, ways to make mega fast cash in little time? Go to WoW. Their arms are wide open.

We won't miss you, I promise.

I dont see why this is such a big issue now when they been doing it since 1.0 in AV and other 1.0 dungeons. people just need to stop being the game police and find a group that wants to run they way that you want to run. But i guess cry babies get want they want...

Eh, the bronze pieces are fine, ive been making more in allagan pieces than the repair costs easily, Im up almost 4900 today with a little over 2k for repair costs gone
