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

[Shiyo]

Trash mobs are a waste of time that yield no items or gil.

It's worse than that, they actually yield NEGATIVE gil because of the cost of repairs for clearing them. You're punished by clearing them and receive absolutely nothing for your effort.

sounds like a money management issue. just because the user sucks at finance doesn't mean the game is broken. learn ways to make money other than brute force trash pharm, and learn better ways to mitigate your repair costs.

Someone there clearly doesn't understand how gil finds its way into the world

Says the whm that doesn't take even 1/3rd the repair costs of a tank. Clearing AK costs me 3k for 1 run ... Speed runs cost me 600g. Yep that's what it was all about money management.

You want us to kill the trash I'm more then happy but give us something to compensate. Gil, white gear drops that I can spiritbond for materia, tomes, something ...

sorry you cant exploit dungeons anymore.

Is this your first MMO? Speed runs were never an exploit otherwise half the playerbase would be banned right now. Just the same in WoW and every other MMO and even the devs will tell you. The player base will always find ways to do things easier or faster that they did not think of. It's not the player bases fault that the method exsisted and they used what the game gave them to accomplish something. Many world firsts in WoW were done by using these tactics and it's the reason that right after a major content patch servers would drop for emergency maintenances to try to stop guilds from using the tactics and get a fix in. Clever use of game mechanics is NOT an exploit

More like you are punishing yourself by expecting to not put in effort to gain reward.

You receive the right to challenge the boss.
