Yeah, the only item which should just be removed from the game (because it exists only since 4.0 to help, but it's not needed) is the Nightmare Fury Crystal, too many people use it to make timed runs easier.

In fact, when a boss dies (there is around 5 bosses per raid), you're locked until the next week, so to "reset", you have to wait an entire week, I know it's long to train; and atm the stims/adrenals are extremely cheap on the gtn, or you can even craft them ^^ here is an example of a NiM Dread Palace Timed run (I know many things have been released since this run, but the ops are scaled at every extensions so there is still some difficulty): The training may be long (and it is), but if the group is good it's possible to do really good times

That would be the only one problem, I haven't a group yet, soon but not yet ^^ And for the stim/adrenals, it's needed to use them in NiM ops (for burn phases), so I don't think a rule about it is important.

In fact, this crystal increases every stats by 20% (it's to help people to kill the bosses and gear up faster, but some people use it when they're 100% Best-in-slot geared, so it's sounds like cheat)

it appears near the class buffs, but we can't see if other people use it after a battle starts, so people can hide it by using it during a battle.

For the rules, I was thinking about like: -when video starts, show that nobody uses the Nightmare Fury Crystal (it's a buff, or we can just see it by the hp increasing) -show the dps/healing parses (so starparse required too, and everyone has to be on it) to prove no one is hiding he's using a crystal after the raid starting.

Hello! I would like to create a category for timed runs of master operations (8 man and 16 man, so it's 2 distinct categories) without Nightmare Fury Crystal, is it possible? Because some timed runs are good challenges and I would start focusing on it more seriously than before.
