Aurum Vale, is it really that bad?

[DoctorPepper]

For a while there was a glitch that caused people to lag when they clicked on the fruit required to remove the debuff during the first and last bosses. I think that really put a lot of people off on the dungeon.

In terms of difficulty, I personally don't find it hard but in comparison with other low level dungeons the difficulty is definitely ramped up a little bit.

I think part of the reason it feels like people avoid it is because a lot of people simply do their daily low level roulette rather than grinding dungeons. Since it's a lvl 47 dungeon there aren't a lot of people who would get it, besides lvl 50s who queue up and the few people between 47-50 who queue up who don't last long until they hit 50 and the dungeon becomes irrelevant aside from the animus books.

Also, at 47 you will probably be getting optimal exp doing the 4 quick leves available in Mor Dhona as well which is another reason people might not care for it. With AV there is always a chance that you'll get a bad party that can't clear it so a lot of people wouldn't want to risk wasting time when they are that close to 50.
