You wait 1 hour, Castrum pops up, Not enough join cause its worthless, Repeat

Pre-hotfix: No point doing skirmishes/CE after rank 15. Wait for castrum

Post-hotfix: No point doing Castrum for coins, FATEs drop coins+mettle+exp. Wait for CE.

Obvious-5-year-old-can-come-up-with-solution: Buff the main attraction of Bozjan: Castrum to reward EXP+Mettle.

FATEs will scale and can be done regardless of how many participate, Castrum requires a bear minimum of 20+ to even attempt. Why make it less desirable to join the raid that requires more people?

This will probably be addressed in 6.4 or so.

Agreed. Castrum isn't rewarding and it's hurting the players that want to do that content.

Well they said that the fix for dropping coins was just a hot fix, not an actual solution, so maybe 5.4 will give us something.

Welcome to not having a PTR server to pre test content. The problems with Castrum are pretty obvious from Mettle loss, lack of rewards and complete pointlessness of it after doing the story quest.

You also need someone to organize the groups because this game is not designed with 24+ raids in mind it seems outside of alliances which this is not somehow!?!??!

It took some time, but after returning to the game and hitting up Bozja for a little while I got to rank 10. After a day or so I finally managed to get myself inside Castrum with 32 other people. We then proceeded to wipe on the very first encounter. Think that told me all I needed to know there. I hope they address this because I actually don't mind Bozja. I just don't like this being a gatekeeping instance that very few people actually do, and those that try are new or simply aren't capable of learning on the fly.

They really need to do something. I just got back to the game and I kinda miss the "train" for Bozja when it got release.
I've been trying to finish the quest for Castrum for the last week or so. Not enough are doing it (which is fair concidering that the rewards are not really worth the effort).
I see quite a lot of people having the same issue. I rarely see much people joining for it and when there is the amount of new players (and lack of people again never saw more than 20~24 players) we wipe pretty fast.
Then it's back to waiting a good amount of time for Castrum.
It's really frustrating to not being able to complete the quest.

Never been that frustrated in a very long time and felt like (for the 1st time) going to the forums to share my experience and hope Square Enix will change it so people like me can enjoy the content.

The only thing I can really suggest is keep trying. I got lucky eventually. Just need to be in the right place and time. I think the accessibility was a step in the right direction in ways that BA was not, but there needs to be more incentives for veteran players to run the instance.

[ItMe]

I dont even care about the rewards.
Castrum was fun enough that I wanna run it more. Especially since it's got a lotta different paths it looks fun to replay.
Yet... I've only been able to get into it once.
