    It is a strange balance.

    They put in the roulette to get people do do the dungeons in order to help get new people through them.

    However that also encourages running it quickly as possible for those doing it every day.

    So either wait forever for a queue, or get unfortunately crapped on for not being perfect by DF people.

    Sorry dude, it's a known issue, but one that's hard to figure out how to fix.

    The main problem with the Praetorium (assuming I am thinking of the right place) isn't even being crapped on for not being perfect. The DPS checks are blown away regardless.

    It's that people who speed run it (IE everyone) will dodge pulls and rush to portals. New players might not know they need a card from one room to use a magitech armor in another. It is very easy to just get left behind if you lose sight of someone for even a second.

    Add to that the fact that there are many cutscenes in the Praetorium. Awesome ones. And you will very likely not get to watch them until you retire to an inn later. Anyone watching a cutscene will miss half of the dungeon.

    Actually, it took me all of three seconds to come up with a permanent fix for prae: make it solo-queue content, one time only. You don't even have to change any of the dialogue - the NPCs already only speak to/acknowledge your character. It would probably take Square a week of minimal effort to recode it for that kind of a clear.
