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

[Krisan]

Wow the entitlement here.... I am struggling to think of a game that actually gave something worht while for trash mobs... I mean the whole reason we called them trash mobs... was due to trashy loot. Are you guys serious? I mean I get that you were TOTALLY exploiting the game and they fixed it. They reduced repair costs. so go kill trash mobs. I do not get at all where your coming from

Come on now, it'd be nice to at least get crafting mats.. Thing is they never drop anything. Hell just a rare chance at dropping Allagan coins would be more than enough. Even WoW had it where trash mobs would drop crappy items, which while useless in most cases could be sold or used in the odd craft or two. No ones asking for magical handouts of super powers or fortunes, just something other than nothing.

I mean I know no one likes an FFXI comparison, but as flawed as the game was.. every mob in that game would drop something, no matter the area or circumstance. Beastmen and Humanoids also dropped gil there as well, not MUCH gil, usually trivial amounts, but if people are expected to spam these dungeons it'd be nice to get something trivial that adds up a little over time as opposed to nothing at all except the reward for clearing the entire dungeon. (Which is the whole point in why people skip past mobs, the only thing they're getting out of the place is what the very last boss rewards you.)

This is NOT the real issue.

Doesn't matter what trash mobs dropped, if there was a way to exploit and run to the boss then all you speed-runners would do it anyways, REGARDLESS of what trash mobs dropped. And don't try to claim otherwise.

Would there be someone who always exploited the dungeon? Yeah. Would it be the vast majority as it is now? Nope.
There will always be people impatient, no stopping this completely. No denial there either. But a lot more people would be inclined to do it normally if they got a little bit of gil or usefulness out of it other than the end boss.
