Scaling mechanics

So your saying part of the game is designed to be dull? Right.

If players are finding content boring, is it not the job of the developers to make it fun? That is the point of this thread. Stating that "it's dull because it has to be" is just lazy and ignorant. Why can't low level content be fun?

Every player's definition of fun is different. For example I quite enjoy going back to the old content and running it with a limited set of moves. Making use of my limited toolkit (aka limited resources in my eyes), to conquer the challenges set forth. Then in higher levels, using a fuller more fleshed out toolkit to overcome the challenges.

That's great for you. Unfortunately there are people who find it to be not fun, hence the reason this thread exists.

But it does stress the point of you can't please everyone. Let's say you changed it to just be another max skillset roulette, some people would then find that boring. SE are damned if they do, damned if they don't. It doesn't matter what they do, threads like this will always pop up because there'll always be someone not happy.

I'm willing to bet the majority of people would prefer to have more than 2 buttons to press in a dungeon.

The amount of dungeons it is this low in very small, I don't see them further destroying all the roulette content just because satasha and a few others are super boring.

I count 5 dungeons and a trial where a GLD/PLD would not have access to Rage of Halone. Why would scaling abilities destroy the low level content? It's already trivial with 2 buttons.

Now think of it with blm's using chain flare.

I know running it in under 10 mins sounds cool but I don't think the devs want that to happen for multiple reasons, scaling the enemies up wont help either because than new players would get screwed if they happen to not get a sync player in, and do literally nothing if they do. It's not the best as it is sure, but its still better than the alternative overall.
