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

Greetings,

The development team is aware that the benefits for defeating regular monsters in high level dungeons are not proportionate to the effort. They are also aware that dungeon runs can also be filled with players with conflicting goals (like enjoying the story versus doing a farming/speed run) that leads to it being difficult to enjoy the content. They feel that improvements in these areas are needed and are currently working on countermeasures for this.

We will be sure to fill you in on the details in the near future.

Wow a moderator necroed my old thread!

I wonder if they are aware of the 4man groups using teleport hacks to teleport to chest to chest then boss to boss. Skipping trash in its entirety. No idea if there exploiting bosses or killing them normally though. I doubt it.

Here's a nice forum I found on Google advertising LFG to do teleport dungeons:

Removed Link - don't want to be suspended.....

Excerpt : LFG on Faerie - Looking for people on Faerie to start a speed run group for AK or others things using teleport. Send me a pm. I'm a BLM, we'll need a full group and everyone to have teleport so we can just teleport to each boss.

Same forums has multiple teleport hacks, Exp, gathering, Fishing bots.

No wonder your account was suspended

Why Cater to Care Bears? I mean this is a game... it is called a DUNGEON for a reason... You go through the whole damn place killing lesser mobs who protect or defend the lesser bosses who then defend the Main boss.... Do you honestly think that to get the best loot at endgame you can just go into a dungeon and face the main boss without facing his army? ARE YOU MENTAL? DO NOT CHANGE A THING FOR THESE CHILDREN WHO JUST WANT EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW AND DO NOT WANT TO LIFT A FINGER TO GET IT!!! The best gear in the game needs to be earned! I am sick and tired of community's moaning and complaining to make things instant! Play for the game for the game or get the F out! Its a game to play for the whole story not just for the loot! ITS NOT ALL ABOUT LOOT! Sure loot is awesome and better gear is also awesome but I mean a lot of people are missing the point to a MMO it is about community and building friendships and enoying the journey... not just the end.

What are you going to do when you have everything? what else is there to do? Just come on the forums and say well that was too easy time to find another game while I wait for a new patch... Come on people grow up and look at the big picture!.

How about you go ahead and fix the instance servers to allow more concurrent instances to run so that people don't have to sit around for 45 minutes with a full group while waiting for a spot to open...
