    Adjust Castrum

    Edit: I appreciate the discussion. Thank you for keeping it civil.

    I'd like to see a change to Castrum (and all story instances). There seem to be two major groups running Castrum - those who want to watch scenes since its their first time and those who want to speed run.

    So my suggestion is two fold:
    1.) Lock players in cutscenes when somebody in group is doing it the first time.
    2.) Increase tomestone rewards for all players when somebody in their group is doing it the first time.

    People watch their scenes. Others get a bonus for staying. Hopefully it cuts down on d-bags from both sides.

    Edit:

    To discuss some concerns with the idea, I'm bringing a post further in to the OP:

    I'm unsure how somebody could continually troll groups, after running it once they would be marked as having seen in so they wouldn't have the option to lock.

    Some things SE could think about:

    1.) When the new person (s) finish the scene all people are allowed to exit as they wish
    2.) The reward would justify the wait, meaning the tomestone bonus could equal or beat the 'tomestones per hour' of average speedrun.
    3.) Instance timer doesn't tick down when in cutscene.
    4.) Cutscene has a max time allotted before people are able to bypass the lock.
    Many more.

    I hadn't gone into detail since these are things that would come up during player/SE testing, not really my/our job to brainstorm for them.

    I personally don't like the 'checkbox' for new/experienced since it divides the pool of players who are ultimately looking to do the same run.
