why is castrum and praetorium not an instance

[Nezerius]

I was saying what other game would even force that option on you , if im playing a game I want to see the ending in the game if its there in real time, also I said make it solo the other stuff leading up to it was solo so why not this. The escape when u break out the group it could of been exactly like that, it was ok in the past when it was fresh to the majority of players well its not anymore so why make new players have to go the extra mile to view something they should be able to see witout any hassle. Serioulsy what other game does that please tell me one. I shouldnt have to go out of my way to ask other people to do the whole meaning of the 1 -50 story line thats crazy talk. If they said it was a mistake then they should of changed it.

Because this is an MMO, and the design intent for Castrum and Prae was likely so newer players would get a feel for full party dungeons. If you feel like it's a hassle to find one or two level 60 friends, or throwing up a party finder entry to get likeminded people to get a perfect CM/Prae run, perhaps you're better off sticking to singleplayer games?

Ur basicly telling thousands of people to go out of their way to watch cut scenes that should have 0 hassle to watch the ending of their 1 to 50 journey when se admitted it was thier screw up so why is it on the player and not on se. Like I said count the hundreds of comments on youtube of the cutscenes where player after player mentions how they got left behind.

If thousands of people are having this issue, wouldn't it already be easy enough to find likeminded people to run these dungeons with? I think you're overestimating the amount of people who have an issue with this.

As a sidenote, I found it funny how your reply went from thousands to hundreds in just two sentences.

Im really have no idea how im gettin beat up about this Im assuming you guys are clearly not into the story part of the game , Im not talkin about the stone vigil cut scene that was also in the middle people will even leave u over that. This is some of the biggest content of the game , like yea i could of asked for a party sure Ive never even used party finder and my friends didnt want to watch the cut scenes so I didnt ask them. Like I said if the game devs said it was wrong then why am I wrong for wanting them to change it

Because you're beating a dead horse at this point. Actually, you're beating the dead horse's ashes, that's how often this complaint has come up in the past years. There's no point in complaining about anymore since it's not going to change those two dungeons. But it's a good thing that they still learned from those complaints, since this issue hasn't occurred ever since.
You're not wrong in wanting to have it changed, neither is SE wrong for not changing it, if they don't want to spend resources on it.

Never having used the party finder isn't a good reason, nor is deciding to not ask your friends just because they skip them.

And your assumption is wrong, I'm into the story part and ensured that I'd be able to enjoy CM/Prae to its fullest, by asking friends for help.

^ This. Ask your friends and fill out the rest with pf or low man it.

It's a VERY dead horse. People were complaining about the instance from like week 1 and then SE raged and tried to slow speed runners down repeatedly (mostly WP and AK) but they did some stuff like moving where some mobs patrolled in CM. That did nothing. People still complained and yeah... I think SE no longer gives a rat's ass and just makes sure not to repeat that ginoromous mistake.

Its just sad that the msq has been reduced to a speed run Im not worried about me but any new player that doesnt no about party finder or that may not have enough time to make friends is pretty much screwed , because se doesnt care enough to make a fix to literally some of the most important content in the game. But I guess its just not really a big deal.

Short version: WE KNOW! The exact same complaints you are making have already been done by countless other players before. The complaints are perfectly valid, but a waste of time. Any changes to Castrum/Praetorium at this point are extremely unlikely, so people are just telling you the best ways to get around it.
