Why do people constantly keep assuming that others are upset about speed running being removed? I never cared about speed running at all, but you have to be especially blind to realize there is absolutely no real incentive to kill trash mobs. As someone mentioned before in this thread, they don't have to drop amazingly rare items, but at least something that can be worthwhile. You have to remember that these instances have to be done dozens upon dozens of times to get anything useful out of them. The dungeon mechanic being used right now is one that helped heralded the downfall of countless MMOs, and I find it rather disappointing that SE hasn't realized it yet.

Oh, and for those wondering and unable to read Japanese, the JP General is going ballistic over these changes too. It's not just us.
