"Devoted" room in PPQ needs a rework

For those unaware, there's a quest (bbb/library) for PPQ that requires you to kill 200 Devoted Krus and Captains, but they can only be found in two optional rooms after the "20 Marks" stage and before the "4 Keys" stage. For both rooms, you have one minute to kill Devoted pirates; if you're still in the room when the timer runs out, you get booted from the party quest. The Devoted pirates also despawn every ten seconds, and they have health pools befitting level 80 mobs.

The only reason to enter these two rooms is for diehard questers. The reward is only 40k exp and a shoe speed 10% scroll. There's also the fact that the people outside of the room can't proceed to the next stage because everyone needs to be in the same map to move on, so the people in the optional room are holding up the rest of the run for up to two minutes.

At least one of these changes is needed so that there is an actual incentive to do this optional room, and so that those questers, such as myself, don't have to feel as bad for delaying the run.

-Reduce mob HP/boost mob exp. Both mobs have 23k/28k HP for 310/380 exp. This is, quite possibly, one of the worst HP/exp ratios in the game (~74 HP/exp). For comparison, gs2 is 5.8k HP for 250 exp (~23 HP/exp) and CDs are 7.9k/8.5k HP for 700/800 exp (~11 HP/exp).
-Boost mob drops. Both mobs only drop Ginseng Concentrate, which you need 100 for another quest with a subpar reward. Make them Elixers or something.
-Boost quest rewards. A paltry sum of exp and a shitty scroll is reminiscent of older version Maplestory quest design. At bare minimum, the quest should reward at least 90k exp, which matches the first of Muirhat's Eliminate quests. Have the reward pool include some scrolls worth more than 1m mesos. Heck, throw in the Spikes on Shoes scroll in there.
-Don't have the mobs despawn. They have a lot of HP, especially for those lower leveled. Their spawn nodes are also distant from each other, and the mobs don't have enough time to bunch up, so single-target attackers can only kill two or three every ten seconds.
-Allow other party members to proceed without full party present. This allows otherwise impatient party members to get on with the run, while the questers do their own thing for up to two minutes. I understand this change might be trickier to implement.

If the Devoted room is a part of the upcoming PQ Rework patch, then I'll be glad.

 

I'm seeing more hints of the PQ Rework coming up on the forums.
I would like to take this opportunity to bring this thread back so staff could pretty pretty please give people a reason to enter this god awful room.
