Please don't think I am asking others to feel like I do. I say enjoy the story, get frustrated at inconsistencies, whatever. All I am saying is that I am not there.

(I tend to take Misty Wood hunts out to one of the islands now. Only way to be sure.)

So in a sense if this gets exploited they will have to address it sooner rather than say 5 years from now. Its sad that we still have insane lag in the ITF and crazy missing map parts on the last mission of the LGTF, oh but let there be an exploit that gets fixed the same day.

If the team leader runs a TF that has foes fixed at L54 with their difficuluty settings on anything but +0 levels, the shards do not drop.

This happened to me last night. I was the team leader. I did not adjust my difficulty settings because I knew they would not matter on the Tin Mage TF. I can confirm this actually happened and just wasn't me missing the message, because support actually awarded my character the shards.

A patch is in the pipeline.

OK, so there hasn't been any TF as short as five minutes, but the Original Katie skirted pretty close. Actually, the Cathedral of Pain is a bigger offender in my eyes, given that you only fight two spawns. One with the thing you're supposed to destroy, and then BAM there's the Aspect of Rularuu, no story, no build-up, nothing but get your Item and get out.

The above is just my opinion, but I feel the need to get it out there to make sure the devs know that quicker may generally be better, but there is a limit.

Not saying it isn't possible but highly unlikely. Pulling the Rikti into the goo does only one thing.. Gets them all killed quick so the team can move on to the Mitos. In short its a SPEED RUN Tactic to move things along faster.
