Yeah, the thing is...People *didn't* wait. Back at the beginning of ARR, Praetorium was the best way to get the tomes for gear, and people were rushing newbies through it, trying to force people to skip cutscenes and complaining when a new player had the gall to not know where to go, but not bothering to *show* the right path. As time went on it was less useful than other methods for tomes, so it became less of an issue, but people still were forcing skips or just rushing bosses while new players were in cutscenes. Yes, some waited...But in my experience, a majority didn't.

Come to think of it, why isn't there a ilevel sync for the dungeon?
