    [Suggestion] Move Tomestones of Philosopy to non-cutscene dungeons/trials

    Currently with Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium offering the most efficient path to gain Tomestones of Philosophy, there are many players using duty finder to rush in and skip all cutscenes to maximize how many they get.

    This is breeding some pretty toxic behavior, I've personally seen harassment going both ways to skip or not to skip. Castrum has these cutscenes to a much lesser extent than Praetorium, but it is still a problem.

    Moving the tomestones to some late-game dungeons/trials (especially Aurum Vale and Cape Westwind) would give people more incentive to run those places again and again, but it would also cut down on the number of people running Castrum/Praetorium.

    I was very fortunate to get in a group of Praetorium where 6/8 people were new and we watched all the cutscenes, but there are many more who have had a terrible experience there, with constant harassment to skip them and watch them in the Inn, which really loses the context of why you are fighting the bosses, and it also changes the cutscenes so you don't see your whole party, but instead just yourself.

    Having this potential for very toxic behavior can really undermine the final 2 story dungeons, and I feel it is only going to get worse once more people are at level cap and some sort of Vote Kick feature comes along. I see a lot of grief being had where people rushing the dungeon and skipping cutscenes just kick out anyone who is watching them.

    Amdapor Keep is more efficient than Castrum/Praetorium by a fair margin if skipping trash. Praetorium/Castrum is just mindlessly easy.

    One hour DF penalty for leaving last two story dungeons and one day ban for CS skip pressuring or forcing players to quit by griefing would fix this toxic behaviour.
