    The Praetorium lifts

    Please remove these and replace them with stairs or a clickable teleport.

    Thing is, the one you access while you're supposed to be on the magitek is already a teleport thing, so why not just make it that? Like what they did in Baelsar's Wall too (which was a change they made later on btw). It's inconsistent

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.

    There's only two lifts, and they both can be recalled at any time, as I recall.

    The worst are the lifts in the The Aetherochemical Research Facility. When they are activated and the barriers go up, but you jump onto them, you can take the ride. However, my attacks are always "out of range" for the next 20-30 seconds, so I assume I am officially still at the top floor. That happened two times and the initial one where I was just wondering why my skills were all "X"-ed (range indicator).


    So we have slow lifts and buggy lifts...

    Good idea, except the reason they did that with Baelsar's wall is multiple things.

    1. the lift would bug out pets. They'd just have no clue what to do and occasionally need to be re summoned.

    2. it was already a map-change area and the lift didn't always come back right when someone was left off of it. Sometimes it took way too long.

    3. This one I might be remembering incorrectly, but I remembering people getting clipped through the lift entirely and unable to move out to re-summon it. It would require people to use the return spell to stop the bug.

    AFAIK the Praetorium suffers from none of these bugs because it's not a map transition, and that makes it a low priority when they're already changing the duty entirely.

    Unfortunately, given how they haven't changed it in 6 years, i doubt they will now.

    Anyone who's played FFXI would know SE has pretty much mastered the art of Hella Late QoL. I wouldn't rule it out

    Oh ... you mean the two you have to get on in-game.
    Here I was thinking about the two during Gaius's monologue(s), which logicially must go a good fraction of the way towards the center of the planet.

    Aw come on, the dungeon is long and boring enough, we need to keep the lifts, the only thing that's still fun in the dungeon is making the lift leave without your friends.

    You can bring them back any time if you miss them.
