Too little return how? There is a ton of time where the devs have some down time. People all over can attest to the dungeon system becoming stale and boring. not caring about any of the lore or even caring why there there other than exp grind. Why would you not give players something exciting that might or might not happen. That rare boss appearing after killing the rare "key" mob giving everyone an exciting run because now they might get that rare minion, mount, glamour piece. The return would be huge. AND as I stated, for those people who dont care about the extras, you can still just run a linear path through 3 bosses and get out to reque. I feel like there only NOT doing this out of laziness.

yes devs are lazy. they're not doing anything most of the time anyways. how do we even get so little during patches. it's not like they're off working on other things too. *cough* FFVII remake*

Your right, they aren't. seeing as how the teams working on the 7 remake and working on FFXIV are DIFFERENT TEAMS. Good thing you didn't try and rebuttle my statement with like facts or anything though. Point stands the devs can do more to make dungeons more interesting and it would be a massive win for the player base and inject new life in the dungeon environment of this game. They NEED to change it up or people are going to find something else to play.

they just advertised they've had 16 million people play the game. I think they're fine.

fine doesn't mean the player base is happy or satisfied. we play it now because there's no choice. i'm just offering a possible example of a choice that would make both camps of players happy.

Could just make a checkbox and have the normal dungeons get a few rooms added.

Someone like me who works 60 hours a week doesn't want to queue up in an RP dungeon and read every piece of paper, so I go normal roulette.

Others can form a party of 4 in PF, check the "Explorer" box, and physically walk their booties over to the dungeon which would open other things. Like for example the door in Sastasha is now open, or the route doesn't collapse in Copperbell Mines HM, stuff like that. Don't even need to add an entire wing, just a room or two with a stupid enemy that drops some crafting stuff or something, or hell, dyeable dungeon gear. FF14 is mostly reused assets anyway, so all they'd do is just pallet swap a random enemy that makes sense and stick him in a room with minor mechanics.

Players have shown for sometime now that they are lazy. Puzzles and others things would be nice, even if it is optional to progress through a dungeon but would they bother putting in hrs extra for "maybe" players will do it.
Maybe add extra hidden chambers and stuff with a boss that drops something unique, but the chances of that happening is not very good

I would love some more difficult 4 man content. It seems like every dungeon I do its 2 trash pulls then boss repeat till end of dungeon, it's very easy an very repetitive. Idk the answer but I would really like some kind of challenge in dungeons an not just increasing the damage an health of mobs but something more interesting.
