Like.. why? Don't queue if you're not going to play. They kept doing that through two bosses, then someone in the party started a vote kick and the player got kicked.
See, at least lota actually has fights. Prae is literally more than 30 minutes of just cutscenes. You skip the entirety of the first like, four pulls by literally running past them, and can meme faceroll literally every boss fight with three people.

Like yeah I agree people shouldn't queue into content just to afk through it. I'll generally kick someone who's afk in like, an alliance roulette or something. But Prae?

I think maybe it's because the design of this dungeon is so godawful, and my first run experience was so freaking terrible, but I just will never understand the vehemence people have about booting people afking in Prae. Like I just kinda laugh when I see it happen because you know what, it's fair. It's a bad dungeon with a bad layout and bad boss fights with, I'll say it, bad dialogue made worse by taking parts of it out (because I'm pretty sure we used to be able to answer Gaius), and it has frankly stupidly good rewards for the utter lack of effort or attention it requires.

I guess I'm just unreasonably mad that this dungeon is so terrible that it's literally only worth doing if you one, have 45 minutes in a row blocked out or two, have something else you need to be doing but can spare the bare minimum attention to get in and collect the big exp dump. Like the only real reason to not afk through it is because if everyone does it won't get done at all, but it can still be cleared in roughly the same amount of time if half the group is even half paying attention.

I think I'm just mad that Prae sucks so much lmao. Glad I don't have any reason to run it anymore I guess.
