I refuse to run Castrum the way it is now

[Rowde]

The real players who suffer from this change? The ones trying to actually run it...



over 30 min - no tanks, no healers even popped up in the queue. Such a blast with no way to skip it but the cash shop. This was a terrible idea.

The point they are highlighting is the 0/2 0/2 4/4 part, which is a direct consequence of no tanks and no healers wanting to run it, because there is no incentive to.

Once again, the player you quoted is saying that as a new player they are having a hard time queuing for CASTRUM directly because no tanks and healers are in queue. They don't have the option to not do it yet. They literally have to clear that content at least one time to progress the MSQ and gain further access to the game... UNLESS THEY BUY A STORY SKIP POTION. Which is what they meant by, "Such a blast with no way to skip it but the cash shop."




Also, I don't have one of those cards... so I guess this'll have to do.

You'll notice that I have EVERY JOB at 70, yet I still ran MSQ roulette on a daily basis before 4.3 because it was a quick and easy source of Poetics. As a byproduct that meant that I was helping new players clear the content. After the change there is very little incentive for me to run it because the primary reason I still ran it was for the QUICK and EASY Tomes that I used for soil and/or popping an S Rank.

So I'm not sure what your point you were trying to make by pointing out your character card? That MSQ roulette isn't worth it anymore? Well we're in agreement about that then. There's very little incentive for anyone who's already run MSQ dungeons to participate in MSQ roulette atm. So as a byproduct, new players who HAVE TO COMPLETE it are now getting excessively long queue times. However, they CANNOT skip it unless they pay more money, which is pretty nefarious.
