Good thinking with trying to eliminate people speed running things. I do think people should try the other paths and this new system really will promote that. However…You’ve implemented this system before you’ve fixed the other paths. So right now the only option we have to run is the same god path. If we run the other paths, we have a high chance of running into yet another bug, preventing progress. Thus making reduced rewards our only option if we wish to actually complete the dungeon.
Suggestion: Stop trying to get us to do other things, until those other things are fixed.
