[Suggestion] A tour mode for dungeons

I was curious if anyone else would like a tour mode for dungeons. A mode where you could go into them without enemies and without a time limit to just look at how interesting the dungeon looked and see if you could find lore tid-bits. I would expect also no chests as well.

I always got a little annoyed the the dungeon timed out after you completed it. Is this due to a limitation in the system or something so hardcoded that it would be impossible to make? I would absolutely love this feature. Specially for raids and such that I've not gotten a chance to look at since my groups are always go-go-go and don't let me stop to look at how pretty it looks. I would love this for roleplay reasons too! Allowing us to hang out in a dungeon and do stuff would be awesome.:cool:

Instead, how about eliminating the timer once a dungeon is cleared? It'd serve the same purpose and wouldnt upset anyone that might happen to disagree with you. Dungeons arent long, only 30 min max.

This would be an enormous benefit to anxious tanks. To be able to run a dungeon and practice pathing before "leading" a group would alleviate much stress.

I often walk through a dungeon at least 1 time after I've cleared it, although there's only I think 5 minutes that you're allotted to do so, this is probably to minimize load on the instance server from having people going afk after runs etc and keeping too many instances active unnecessarily. Also there's those very rare occurrences when you Q up a duty, and instead of waiting for party messages, you get that Reserving Instance message... If they were to add this feature, they'd probably shut it off temporarily after any new patches, similar to how they turned on the Auto-logout for afk when HW was released

Almost all dungeons are boring straight lines. Maybe one or two dungeons have a slightly interesting map, but as it is you can't really get lost in dungeons anymore. I've never understood what tanks get anxious over, I love tanking new places.
