What is your suggestion?:

To remove the time sink that is the ToA Puzzle Rooms

Is this in OSRS?:

No.

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:

No.

How would this benefit Alora?:

Just for comparison, CoX and ToB can be completed in 12-15 minutes if you are competent and have decent gear. ToA, depending on invocations, is at a minimum double that. It just feels unnecessary and slow, and there is no skill required for them. It would keep Alora competitive with some of the other top servers that just skip you straight to the boss. It would still require having game knowledge and mechanics to complete the mini-bosses and raid as a whole. Thank you :)

+1 Puzzles are nothing more than a time sink, and Jagex made the raid worse adding them

Although I'd agree to remove them since they require no skill and just take time for no reason, i doubt we'd get it removed because we're too focused on being close to osrs compared to giving the players what theyd want

No support. In comparison to tob/cox, toa raw rates are incredibly better so I think the time sink with higher invocations is justified due to that. Normal mode toa can also be completed in similar times to average cox/tob runs but for obvious reasons isn't favorable.

No support on this one sorry. As logan said toa rates are much better when compared to tob or cox. I am not a fan of puzzle rooms myself, but with new qol (baboon room) changes it shouldn't be such a pain in the ass to complete them.

Although Alora tries to be as close to OSRS as possible, I think removing these to be more in line with the other raids would be a good choice. They dont requrie any skill and dont impact the outcome of the raid at all, its just a time sink and while Alora is more 'about the grind' then most other RSPS, these seem unnecessary.
(I personally feel the same way about CG prep but thats me)

I would even like the option to skip the puzzles, but lower the overall drop rate of items to compensate if required. If you want the quicker raids, you pay for it with lower drop rate, so in the end it balances out and people have a choice if they want to do them or not. Allowing this option would also make it more "casual" for people who dont always have time for a full raid, a lower drop rate on a quicker raid is better than no rate at all because you cant commit the full time to a TOA run.

Going to have to be a no support from me. All of the puzzles take like a minute each with the exception of  Apmeken(Ba-Ba).

I would much rather that room's waves be cut in half or something so that it's more in line with the other puzzles.

No support. With the most recent update even the most time consuming puzzle room is now even faster.

[YeetMcSkeet]

No support, Sorry bro, but that's part of the TOA challenge. They are easy enough to complete.

[Selenagomez]

Support, these rooms are useless time sinks. But as someone else said it will never be removed unfortunately because we have a weird mindset when it comes to this server. We want it to be a RSPS but then people want it to be close to OSRS. 

[R e i]

Seems like half the community wants them gone & the other half seems to be okay with them staying on, can we just poll this up & see whose majority ends up coming on top and going from there? This would be a Support from me, it is a somewhat pointless time sink inside the raid, although Alora is supposed to be as close as Osrs, there's a lot of things in the game that aren't quite osrs such as TOB being a safe death for hcims and TOA not being one.

[Scorn]

I do support this but see no chance for it to be accepted. 

[Tamber v2]

Neutral

 

The most annoying puzzle is BaBa, but this past update made it a lot better.

I wouldn't be opposed to removing them though
