    i don't doubt it will happen but the benefit of 4 man content is, unless the other 3 are very well geared, they're going to waste more time trying to trio the last boss than to just wait for the 4th person to do the CS.

    and if you get two new people forget it.

    As nice as it'd be to have a third Expert dungeon, main story dungeons and speedruns don't mix. Let's not open that can of worms again.
    Hate to say it, but the solution to this is to keep everyone in the "waiting circle" you get at dungeon start for about one minute, to give people enough time to view the CS. If they're courteous and skip it via the escape key, the circle disappears early, but if they want to watch their cutscene, it stays there until that minute has passed.

    Is ARF in Story Roulette? Seems like that's where it should be.

    People keep mentioning the cutscenes as if this is Castrum and Praetorium. There arent many cutscenes and they are not very long at all

    I'd personally be fine with this solution (assuming you mean that waiting circles appear whenever someone in the group is watching a cutscene), but I can only assume that it's never going to happen, or they would've implemented it by now.

    Not really. If you leave you get a 30 min penalty. So no, it isnt better

    If they'd put a 50% for getting this in the roulette and another 50% bonus on tomes for having a new player I think.

    Before 3.05, I use to manually just queue for this and the other two lvl 60 duties in my own "roulette". Actually use to enjoy getting it since there was always at least 1 new person, so I'd end up getting more law than the other two typically.

    So here's a little something I just was reminded about a bit ago:

    Keeper of the Lake was quite literally a Main Story Dungeon! Adding ARF seems even more plausible now. Wanna shorten it to an average 20 minute run? Remove some of the trash packs.
