Copperbell really was a terribly written dungeons. Sastasha? Here there be pirates. Also the pirates are working for a fish. Copperbell? OK, it's a mine. Oh giants, why are they here? OK, they were slaves or something? It really isn't until the final Guildhest that you get any insight into this... Then there is that door at the end... What's behind it? Who built it? Why is it there if Copperbell (Hard) is going to stop at the exact same point?
What? Copperbell was explained:

“Abandoned once purged of ore, the Copperbell Mines laid abandoned for nigh on three centuries until Amajina and Sons Mineral Concern reclaimed the shafts - the guild's sights set on expanding the mines downward in an attempt to tap yet undiscovered veins of valuable metal. Unfortunately, it was not riches the powder kegs uncovered, but sheer terror, for when the smoke cleared, out poured an army of raging giants from the darkest recesses of the mines. The hecatonchires - thralls of the lost Throne dynasty - were, at last, free from their lightless prison; three hundred years of hate fueling their madness.”
It was a normal mine, but an older dynasty (the ancestor of Ul'dah probably) used hecatonchires as slaves to do the mining. They were later sealed to die. In the present day they broke free and are having their revenge.
