Guild Wars 2

An extra modus to sanctum sprint:

• Normal mode : the race as it is now
• Sanctum mode : The race has a time limit of 5 minutes (3 less than normal) and entry is only allowed to the people who have won a race in normal modus.

It’s give achievement hunters better odds as the farmers will just be in sanctum mode as they won’t have to wait ages for a round to end and on top of that they’ll have more competitive runs.

Also disable late arrivals. It’s annoying to be tossed in a run between 2-5 min left to go as it’ll be a “practice run”.

If an extra mode would be too much work, why not allow finishers to chose to leave for a new instance immediately as soon as they loot the chest. Letting new instances slowly fill up, only starting the countdown as soon as the 12th runner enters the instance. It’ll mix up instances, that way people don’t always run the same competitors, can be quite annoying if you’re a decent runner but can never win cause a sprinter is in the same instance winning round after round.
