And it does, as already said though the problem is that players are taking easy routes to obtaining raiding gear and then facing dungeons with that equipped.

That's not a problem, that's how games work. A player will always find the most efficient way in beating the game, that's what is fun about it. If a game allows the player to easily outgear the biggest part of the game thus making it easy that is the game's fault not the player's fault.

What would you want for players to do, making it difficult artificially? I tried with these new dungeons for some strange reason. Decided to run the new dungeons with my undergeared BLM and equip him eventually with the gear they drop. 2 weeks later I only had a belt and a crapload of crafting mats. Meanwhile I was drowning in myth and didn't know where to spend them. Eventually I realized that that was freaking stupid.

The way these new dungeons were implemented on the last patch was just ridiculous. They make no sense whatsoever. They're made for a playerbase that doesn't really exist.
