Any Excitement/Expectation for Ancient Ruins PQ?

GMS exclusive, so no looking at KMS for any foresight. Hoping it's aimed at lvl 200+ players with decent rewards (at the very least, nonBIS, unique looking equips). Not expecting or asking a lot beyond that, but just a small, solid, team-based experience. My only fear is that it might be hobbled, recycled content (CWKPQ, is that why you're gone?).

    In the Pathfinder: Squadron of Heroes update, players level 61 and up can go on adventures with friends in the new Ancient Ruins Party Quest. Working together to fight against the Ancient Guardian boss, players can navigate portals, study constellations and activate switches in a set order to unlock treasures. Players can also party up in the Cross World Party Quests and enjoy new limited time rewards in the Party Point Merchant coin shop.

    In the Update Trailer, the characters seem to be doing fixed damage of 100 to the boss.

    So it appears to be a PQ that is mostly, or entirely, puzzles, and maybe jump quests, bypassing the issue of level and damage range required. (Fixed damage is unfair to certain classes, though...)

    As for the rewards... This being exclusive GMS content, maybe it can give our exclusive Fury Totem?
    I think Nexon knows what people find worth working for. If they don't, they can just look at what is purchased from event coin shops. Let's hope they picked useful or pretty items for this PQ.

    No nodestones, but the shop will have some limited time chairs, mounts, damage skins, and other trinkets.

    No nodestones, but

    And just like that, my interest is as dead as grazed.

    considering how much daily crap i have to do already will probably skip this unless the PQ is within a reasonable time frame (since it has to be cleared several times a day irrc)
