    Which solves nothing, really. WP and AK were being speed ran at i90, to the point where you could ignore almost all boss mechanics. Same is true of all other 4 mans: they were speed ran at their launch without issue.

    AK was sac pulled (don't recall WP sac pulls, but maybe), but after the gates were added they were still speed ran. And even in i90 gear you could kill Demon Wall before gnats, or kill Anantaboga while ignoring Catastrophes. Or just ignore/mass aoe the tonberries at the King. . .

    When S-E can design trash that does things more interesting than a few AOE circles and occasionally popping out of a scripted wall/spawn point/etc and going "BOO! Spooked ya, first-timer!" I'll be interested in a stricter item level sync.

    As it is, it's bad enough being reduced to 3 buttons whenever I get a bad Animus dungeon pull.

    True, but yus, WP didnt have the oils for the doors so you could run and die to bosses at launch.

    I dont mind the new dungeons as they increased opwer of trash but reduced them a hella lot compared to older dungeons. EG one of the main problems with AV, SV normal is the amount of trash there is, which makes em pretty dull as you spend most of the time grinding through waves and waves of trash.

    Sorry, but that just doesn't scan. Logically speaking, based on what you said, are you sure you even want a dungeon? Why not cutout the middleman and make each dungeon nothing more than a boss battle since you clearly see regular dungeon mobs as nothing but a hindrance in completing the boss fight as quickly as possible.
