Why a gauntlet category added for castle tours if...
you were simply going to completely remove the ability for visitors to use the gauntlets from castle tours, including the original two gauntlets that people could always visit without glitches(bane and pagoda).
It's just a completely pointless change.
Also why does KI bother doing this to begin with? People have a habit of finding glitches that allow them to use those gauntlets regardless of what KI does, and often times those glitches end up being harmful in other areas of the game. Just let people use them, and none of them would have any motivation to find possibly game breaking glitches.
And finally, can I just leave this small remark. Stop trying to strangle the free to play portions of the game. You choose this model for the game, utilize it. I know what the people on these forums are thinking, "How dare you defend those leeches," or KI who is likely thinking, "If they really want to play, they'll pay." It doesn't work that way.
This attitude pushes people away because it doesn't allow for them to actually become invested in the game. When people are invested in the game, that's when they'll want to buy membership, that's when they'll want to buy crownshop items. Besides that, this motivates more people to play the game, even if they aren't members, and having more people on a MMO is always a good thing.
