Requiring Castrum Litore completion for the next Bozja area is a bad decision.

As of right now people do not need the Deep Essences and Lost Font Actions as pretty much everything can be done with basic Essences and actions available from Southern Front mobs. Come Delibrum Regina (Savage), the Lost Actions from Castrum may be necessary with each attempt costing 1 or more Deep Essences to complete. This will likely lead to Castrum Forgotten Fragment farms.

I’d say the most likely thing is once castrum is old content they’ll nerf it. I could see the minimum being lowered to 8 people and doable by a full party.

Another possibility. Next patch BLU is going to be 70.... if they allow BLUs into eureka, then they’ll likely allow them into bozja. Then when the next expansion launches and BLU gets bumped up to 80, let’s say there’s a spell in castrum....

You have to be min lvl 71 to enter bozja

If not enough people are running Castrum, even after it becomes required, they could simply turn on the Echo while in Castrum so it can be completed with fewer players.

Read it again, carefully this time.

... long as it's not required to get the next tier of relic weapons, who really cares?

Pretty sure he said that the next step can only be started AFTER clearing all the quests tied to the new whatsitsnameagain.

So as I expected, "you can work on the new relic without having to do Bozja" turned out to be another of Yoshida's lies

With 8 people, you would need to divide in two groups of 4 for 1st and 3rd fight. It will not happen.
Not mentioning, you could save one or maybe two prisoners (divided in two groups of 4 again) before 2nd boss.
So you lose a lot of rewards.

The minimum would be 16 people at least.

Same way noone was doing World of Darkness Raid or anything with the Crystal Tower for years until 5.3. Your complaint is a fundamental issue with how it is designed to be so heavily punishing for minor rewards. I see no point in doing Castrum Litore after the first time honestly.

Uhh, people have been constantly doing CT AR roulette for years because LotA and ST are very easy to just mash buttons and succeed in. There's a reason why it shows up so much.
