I dont get this mindset. People dont want to do the instance so they leave. Would you rather they stay and do nothing until you kick them?
I think it should just have a bigger time penalty. Make it a full hour lockout. If you had a legitimate reason to drop, you were probably not coming back anyway, so it wouldn't matter.
If Castrum was more worth the time spent in it, maybe people would stay. With Praetorium requiring less input, even with the extra 10~15 you spend in it, it’s more worth it because of the experience gain at the end. Castrum just isn’t: it gives less experience for more input. Even with it being shorter, it’s not worth it for those who queue into MSQ Roulette for the experience.
No need for it to be a day. 30 minutes is enough. Not to mention, this will also punish players who may have to drop for legitimate reasons—not just “I don’t like this duty”.
I disagree mostly because people don't take the penatly seriously. The people who legit have oh crap moments happen aren't part of the problem. It's the people who cheese the system or willingly take the slap on the wrist and more on. Maybe a day is abit much but I honestly believe the penatly needs to be longer. 30 mins is a meme right now, noone takes this seriously and I think thats a huge problem. Think about it with other rules. I'm not saying they need to be put in jail for years and banned for life, but when the penatly we have already in place isn't taken seriously then at that point things need to change so that it is taken seriously. And making the time spent longer will do just that I think.
I done 5 castrum yesterday and got 35 tomes In About 2.5 hrs. I’d need to spend almost 4 hrs in prae to match that tome return. I can’t see it being the tomestones.
The only issue they will have is that people leave castrum for praetoriums massive xp (think it’s more than double. I’m about 7m for CM but about 15m for P) and the tomes mean people don’t fill the gaps atm as tomes don’t drop for in progress so if you lose players looking for prae xp you’re best to just quit atm and retry as it’ll be quicker than waiting for in progress players.
Am I the only one here who wants experience (and the mogtomes right now) but don't care which I get placed into?
