This really only hurts the non-speedrunners (like me) and fresh 50's in the end. Anyone who was seriously speedrunning already has their full Darklight set. Had AK been properly made like some of the mid-level dungeons most would have been contempt with not doing speedruns to have fun. Now it's just "New week, need to clear Amdapor 8 times to cap... oh god the boredom". It wouldn't be so bad now if its tome handout was increased somewhat but, right now, Castrum is the best for tomes as it's as easy as Satasha. Less or equal amount of time to clear with 20 more philosophy tomes.

tl;dr AK isn't fun (too much trash, Demon Wall is the only fun boss), not enough payout for the time it takes
