    The time spent equals the reward received, any changes to the former means you'll get less from the latter. Players either have the time to run this or they can avoid it, there are other means of obtaining exp though but if anything the rewards could be upped slightly (let it offer GC seals as well maybe...).

    I don't know if I would agree with your statement. In its current format it should reward one full xp bar per run for those forced to suffer through what is currently one of the worst tortures imaginable.

    Well seeing as no one but first timers are "forced" to run the dungeons to progess the story there really is no problem here. Further runs past what is required are purely optional for everyone else, so any "torture" experienced is self inflicted by choice. The exp is already quite generous, the other rewards could be adjusted but that's it.

    Let's review apporximiate clear times:

    Castrum Meridianum - 22-25 minutes [less exp, but quicker clear time]
    The Praetorium - 40-45 [more exp, but takes longer]

    Average 4 man-dungeon run:

    With aoes used: 15-20 minutes
    Without aoes used: 21-30 minutes
    Worst case scenarios: Above 30 minutes (if you're 71 or higher, might as well use trusts since they take nearly as much time, but with less headaches imo)

    At the end of the day, Main Scenario Roulette obviously isn't for everyone, but it's an alternative to use to gain extra exp, tomes, gil, and/or help out random people just for the heck of it.
