Since no one else is saying it

Thank you for fixing the speed runs SE. Many people hate the change but I love it. I was a good WHM. I did the speed runs, ran along and raised everyone just like everyone asked me to, nary a complaint, even though I hate speed runs.

I feel speed runs enabled jerks to... well be jerks. Complaining when some new player did not know their special way to clear the instance. I hope this alleviates some of the pressure new level 50 players feel when they get to this instance. I also hope this causes some jerks to quit the game.

I see this only as a positive change:

Thank you, SE.

There were several people, like myself and my free company, that did do speed runs and helped players new to the instance learn it as well. It doesn't matter if there are speed runs or not, people will still be jerks regardless. Now, instead of leaving because you don't know the instance, jerks will leave because you don't have the gear. Or you don't have some skill. Or you're not the job they want. Or anything they want. Maybe they just don't like the cut of your jib. It won't stop them from being jerks, but make it take longer to do the same repetitive dungeons. Hur.... ray?

Since my experience has been that it is very easy to run out of time in the instances, it's a bit disappointing that in the harder instances, there will now be so much time forced to be taken up by killing trash that there will only be a few attempts per boss before time is up.

So you are upset that you have to do the instances the way they were intended, and that you cannot skip mobs. I've never tried these instances but I expect now you will actually have to be properly geared to succeed in them. WHAT A TRAVESTY!

Example: Just tried to duty find another AK run. First thing the tank tells the black mage, who declared they were new to the dungeon as they should, didn't have good enough gear. He had AF and some grand company accessories, which were fine to me, honestly. I've run this dungeon several times with a black mage and we have always managed to clear it without issue. The black mage needed to be run through to even experience the dungeon, so telling him he wouldn't do enough dps isn't even a point to be made until he got to try the fights. We were probably going to wipe a few times, but I wouldn't have minded. However, jerk people will still be jerks. The tank refused to do the dungeon until the black mage left and the black mage was actually going to do so. New-to-the-instance players should not have to be treated this way, to the point of guilt for it being their first time? I got upset and said the tank was a dick and left. As you can see, removing speed runs changed nothing. It's exactly as I predicted in my earlier post. And that was just my first attempt at doing that dungeon since the maintenance!!

I was a bad SCH. I would let tanks die if they didn't skip the trash :O

oopsie I'm so naughty

Now let's remove overheal Regen hate please.

As annoying as it it, I hope they don't remove it. I like the kind of gamble of it. If you are careful when you apply it, it is no problem at all.

Unfortunately jerks will always be jerks. Nothing will ever alleviate that problem. That being said though this isn't a bad change. I don't mind doing the dungeon as intended, it's not like it's going to take that long to clear the trash. It'll add maybe...10-15 minutes at most for well organized groups with good DPS.

So not only do you not know what you're talking about, you make assumptions too. A+ Post.

Personally, I think this band-aid fix did more harm than good. A few more bronze pieces per chest is hardly worth the time investment to run these dungeons. Well, back to Castrum I suppose.
