If you dont like how long it takes... well, dont run it.
    Which is most likely what will happen if those restrictions are implemented, and my condolences to any new player who then has to wait hours for their mandatory Praetorium queue to pop. I already stopped doing MSQ roulette in Stormblood, I prefer to actually play the game and not spend 40 out of 45 minutes twiddling my thumbs, even if I lose out on easy exp.

    Are you saying everyone will stop running it if they have to fight the enemies?

    It's the way we've always done it on my DC. You gather them as you run along the corridor and it takes ten seconds of AOE to mop up the whole pack. It's only a tiny fraction of the time you spend in there overall.

    If they did force it, unless people refused on principle believing it to be a huge imposition, they'd probably keep running it and realise it's not that bad. (Other than the whole dungeon being bad of course, but having to fight a few tissue-paper enemies doesn't make it worse.)

    Not the enemies themselves, but the increased roadblocks, locked rooms until you clear every weak trashmob, enemies being completely invulnerable during cutscenes and a few seconds afterwards, basically just even more systems in praetorium that waste your time while you just stand around.

    You get your fancy tome for that, if its not worth your time, its ok to something else^^

    Its the "Ignore EVERYTHING you can and run straight ahead - if possible cheese the mobs" mindset that got us that "stop and go" dungeons with roadblocks every few meters...

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
