SE seems to be doing what they can to slow down the pace of dungons and instances within a reasonable tolerance.

Maybe this was simply the cutoff for them. I mean why not cut off the timer on Shadow Flare so that SCH isnt weighted down by it as well?

As soon as this QoL was made then others would wanna hop in the pool. I agree it wouldnt make a shift in game balance but there has to be a line in the sand somewhere.
