Several times now I've entered a tier 2 dungeon only to find I'm stuck into the T2 lobby with some T1 who can't enter. The worst part about this is, the other day this happens to me, the Tier 1 guy leaves and then I'm sitting there and the loading screen pops up and i end up back in Haven (meanwhile i was the only one in the lobby), boom goes my 200 CR, may not seem like much but it's happened 2-3 times now and it's simply fustrating.

My suggestion is DO NOT COLLECT the required Crowns until you venture DOWN the elevator, the same as energy is collected, I see no reason why I should pay 200 Crowns to get into a lobby which can potentially crash/kicking me out etc etc. I for one am sick of losing crowns to things like this, this simple change would solve that.

Uh this doesn't make an entirely large amount of sense at all, why spend energy traveling down to floor 8 which i can simply enter from the arcade?
The problem lies in when crowns are collected for Floor 8-Floor 9 lobby. The crowns shouldn't be collected upon creating or entering on Floor 8 lobby, instead on the elevator trip down to floor 9, when the 10 energy is collected.

Okay.

It works like this:

When you take a Gate from Haven down to Moorcraft, you'll "clear" T2 for that gate. Every time, from then on, when you take the elevator straight down to Moorcraft in that gate, you will not be charged the 200 crown bypass fee. This lasts until the gate is cycled out of rotation, and you can see what gates you have "cleared" by checking the middle tab on the character window. (Not character, not Achievements, but the middle on. Might be called Clearance, or something.)

So you don't have to spend the 60 Mist Energy everytime to avoid the 200 crown fee, just once. And you know, if you're stuck in a Subtown or lobby with a player who cannot progress further, you can Go Solo and enter another same lobby instance so you can progress without them, right?

It amazes me everytime

It amazes me everytime somebody complains about this.

Going "godzilla mode" once per gate in Tier 1 can be fun, and it lets you go down to moorcroft free of charge for future runs.

Not only that, but if you run it on mist, while not the greatest for crowns (unless you get an arena in depths 5, 6 and/or 7), its pure profit. Heck, if you get 2 arenas like the current Dark Lion gate (which has arenas at depths 6 and 7), you probably make more than some Tier 2 gates (that have a lot of concrete jungles).
