i don't think it's that bad, but i know people who don't do it just because they don't want to wait through the first 4 min of dialogue
4min at the begining, then 15s each npc, then 1min to summon Root, then another 30s~1min till the west portal opens, and another 1~2min at the end waiting for amdarais.
dealing with the instance rng time is enough lel
That's so lazy...
Would prefer 10mins more dialogue and double the commander spawn rate any day :X
