Dungeons, what we have, what I would like

[GenJoe]

I get they want to "discourage" speedruns in dungeons, but maybe they can go about it in another way. Having gates every one or two packs of mobs, in all honesty, makes the dungeon feel dull..

100% agree..
Speed runs can be fun if we were allowed to control the pace completely instead of being blocked by the gates..

Speed run with tank and spank boss battles can still be entertaining and reward player skills/effort because it makes the dungeon go that much faster. That's how WoW dungeons were mostly modeled after, mechanics were simple, dozing off could still get you killed but not likely.. So everyone just resorted to speed runs and started competing against themselves instead of against the mobs.. It gives the dungeon crawling another aspect of challenge (to go faster than last time) and that was enough to keep people running the same dungeons over and over. Of course, itemization of mats in dungeons also need to be worked in for FF14 to give a monetary reward.

you can only do so much with 4 ppl. You can not really do challenging content, it just does not work. You can not have tank swap mechanics or things that take a healer out of a fight. Or big dps races. Not to mention when people do dungeons with randoms they want to get in and get out. Gone are the days where people are willing to slog through a 2 hour dungeon. I am sorry but those days are the past. Maybe some dungeons with a few more branching paths with an optional boss or 2, but you will never see any maze type dungeons.

Shared Dungeons

The most amazing content that can ever be added to an MMO, PvPvE =D

All dungeons will be linear. unless they are shared.

Even dungeons with multiple paths become boring, especially because of the story involved with those paths - see SWTOR.
