Castrum can be done in 30 minutes or under with a decent group so it was always close to AK in terms of tomes per hour. The problem with Castrum is that it's so stupidly easy, requires absolutely no focus, you practically zombie your way through mindlessly.
Heck, the mechanics for each of the 4 boss fights are IDENTICAL. Tank boss and kill adds when they spawn, funnily enough you even ignore the final add they spawn on every single encounter. Freaking original! And let's not even BEGIN to talk about the final bosses first phase where she does 0 damage and we have to spend 5 minutes firing cannons. The definition of challengeless timesink.

*claps for someone who gets it* Castrum is one of the worst instances EVER in an MMO. It's braindead and full of raging tards, i will never enter this dungeon again besides from helping others.

yeah now its cleary faster for points... so sad u dont get any gear only 100points..

But beats by far the Amdapor runs now, as the doors are closed till u kill the smr, dullahans/gargoyles and sucubus on ech floor.

Yeah it's a 13 minute run with a 20 minute queue.

Castrum was ok for what it is, a story instance. It's fun the first time you run through it but after that I agree it sucks.

I don't really mind CM, with a group of 8 people it usually makes for more entertaining side chat. I've always felt AK very tedious to tank, and the trash in it is the absolute worst doing more damage than the bosses and having ridiculous amounts of HP.

I didn't say better, or identical. I said "close".

preotorium is faster, just run past all the mobs

As a healer, I find the 8-man content a good deal more tense than the 4-man content, so I prefer CM over AK. And, unlike AK, you can have one or two bad players and not have your group drug down since it's balanced to more the lower end of 50.
