    I think the whole point of what they did is to get people to STOP farming CM and Prae. They are story dungeons and should stay that way. I personally prefer 4 man content as a Tank. I like being the only tank in the dungeon

    As for 8-man content. I think the tombs on CM and Prae should stay where they are. If anything they should release a new dungeon that is 8-man (maybe ilevel 65 gear) that drops both philo and myth tombs.

    ^This

    There was too much conflict between people doing the story and people wanting to farm Prae and CM. People simply following the story quest were coming into these dungeons to demands that they skip cut scenes, and being harassed if the watch them, and even if they didn't play so well. If I were a dev in charge of this game, I would not allow my paying customers to have their gaming experience ruined like that. So SE made it basically pointless to farm those dungeons.

    CM only takes about 10 minutes less than AK with a good group and you lose out on the 40 mythology. Nobody in their right mind would do CM instead of AK now unless they're already capped in mythology. The only nice thing about CM is that even if you get a bad group it's still doable in 30-40 minutes max whereas AK can take upwards of an hr with a bad group.

    I think SE should try actually doing a bit of math and find a threshold where the reward/time sunk on average it the same.

    No, they aren't. Even with a bad group you can do WP in 25mins and with a good group you can do it in under 15 minutes, hell even under 10 minutes if you're geared like the Gods.

    There is NO reason to ever run anything besides WP (unless you want to leech and spritbond).
