Can you just please unlock the friggin subway already?

Question Title: Can you just please unlock the friggin subway already?
Category: Dungeons
Question: Please? I mean gimme a frickin' break already. Nobody hunts this dungeon, nobody is going to reroll just to take lockpick, no one is hanging around Arwic anymore anyway (you got your cpu time back when you did a white-out on that town). It isn't like it's a noob area and the bottom is littered with corpses. 25% of the time you lag through, 25% of the time, the doors are open, and the rest of the time, you run at the doors like an idiot hoping to lag, or waiting for some kind soul with lockpick.

Answer: No.

If you don't want to learn lockpick or travel with someone who has, that's your choice. If you want to, to use your words, "run at the doors like an idiot," that's also your choice. No one says you have to use the subway to get around. That's the price you pay for convenience.

My personal idea (which wasn't well-liked in house) was that the door should be unlocked by a Sturdy Iron Key. Loot or convenience? It's an interesting choice.
