    Well, clearly developers think that less than doubling half of the reward (poetics) is sufficient for doubling the runs length (or more). Guess their budget doesn't offer enough leeway to buy a calculator.
    On top of the +80 you get from 120 to 200 for the roulette, you also get base 100 for castrum, and 200 for praetorium. So roulette praetorium nets you 400 peotics, 300 for castrum.

    Originally it was only 20.

    So Castrum takes about twice as long and gives you more than double the Poetics (140 -> 300) while Praetorium is about three times as long and gives nearly triple the Poetics (140 -> 400). That... actually sounds entirely reasonable. (Well, unless you want Mendacity... but you were never getting that before, so I don't see how this made anything worse.)

    What about experience, though? Does anyone have a good before/after comparison? If the experience reward went up by the same amounts, I think it's hard to complain about the extra time. But from what I've read, it doesn't sound like it did. When I run this roulette, it's usually just for a bit more exp, but it's hard to justify risking a 45-minute dungeon for that if it hasn't increased.
