As much as the OP is a constant troll he’s kinda right. Diadem.. fate farming. Eureka... fate farming. Bojza... fate farming. I’m sorry but that’s not fun content and was dead and boring in 2.0. Levelling classes in northern thanalan, it’s been done to death now
Current State of Castrum just proves how bad Bozja is

I hope it's not so dead that I won't be able to do it. Players being blocked from progressing through the storyline because there's not enough participants for some instance would be a major issue.

Deep dungeons are trash. Bozja is far more fun, in my opinion.

But if the players who want to do the content can't successfully do so due to too low participation that's a problem.Quote:

Main issue I am seeing is after the story quest the place is seriously pointless. You lose a STUPID amount of mettle, the raid experience is based around raids I would see organized in WoW to organize it correctly and the rewards are straight up trash for the amount of time in there.
My main issue is losing such a severe amount of mettle makes me never want to tank it. It is fun to run the one with other people and the critical engagements are fun but Castrum just seems pointless for the time investment.
Even the gear the zone offers is 5 ilvls lowers then the current 500 ilvl and you are capped at 430 ilvl anyways so seriously what is the point in rushing grinding 1,500!!! coins to upgrade the gear. -

Like, I get that a lot of people find dungeons boring. That's good feedback. And it's fair, they're long hallways full of trash with bosses every 2-3 pulls, their dungeon design leaves a bit to be desired even though I do think they're fun.
So their response is to... cut back on the number of dungeons being made instead of trying to fix their dungeon design?
Meanwhile Diadem is the most poorly received content they've made since the re-launch of the game, but that's the thing they keep trying to make work.
I just don't get it. I feel like there'd be more interest in better designed, more challenging dungeons than in making yet another version of Diadem. -
