    Not a good solution.

    Now, this is a known problem which has been discussed many, many, MANY, times over the last several years. So far nobody has been able to come up with an actual workable solution that does not involve remaking the main scenarion dungeons from scratch - which seems very unlikely to happen after all this time.

    Well it is a problem in itself that the main quest can only be completed by forcing other players to do it with you against their will to then compensate them with tomes for their gear treadmill. It's almost sadistic.

    That is pretty much true for all the dungeons. Few people would run any of them more than once or twice except for the rewards.

    Y'know, with SB coming, and all the new dungeons and whatever, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a few new roulettes made to accommodate them somehow. I wonder if the game will reach a point where players just don't have time to hit all the roulettes and so choose to abandon this one that is probably among the more tedious.

    I can only imagine as time goes on it will continue to get harder to entice old players in.
