As of now anyone can begin the game and work their way through the SPVP ranks to make it up to the top of the leaderboards; however, this is impossible for PVE. Anyone who has missed this many dailies has no chance at making it onto the top of the leaderboards.
It is no secret that teams in Tyria are gathering in order to complete dungeons in the fastest time possible. Why not simply add a speed run mode, it could be the same paths as the explorable mode, except it would have a little timer in the corner and would count towards placing on the dungeon speed run leaderboard list.
We really need some healthy PVE competition for the hardcore pve players, and I think this would be perfect for it. This also might help separate the elite dungeon runners from the ones who are not so elite, allowing for non-hardcore and hardcore gamers to find groups of other speed runners, and less hardcore players to find groups who simply want to complete the path, or just mash stuff at a slower pace.
