Bring back crowd control. Bring back branching dungeons. Bring back ADVENTURE.

Since Trusts became a thing in 5.0, SqE could experiment with more explorable dungeons with options, and it would be possible to use Trusts, either specifically made for that dungeon (e.g. if dungeon isn't msq, but optional), or the normal Trusts (if msq).

Another thing they could do, could be that the dungeon could have different NPCs you meet throughout that may help you like with the Ghimlyt Dark, or slightly hinder you (not-quite-Trust escort mission? Probably not a popular idea).

I really like the branches suggestion. As for "nobody likes Toto Rak" and "nobody explored the old dungeons", nobody is certainly not true. I for one liked Toto Rak and explored those dungeons fully, both back in the day and now with bleh squadron, and also DF parties back then opened all chests and all, in my experience.

I find these two suggestions particularly good:

Do it for MSQ dungeons and then people can run it with trusts. So a fast route with randoms and at the same time being able to go as we want to with trusts.

Random parties can take the shortest route, or whoever wants to, but using Trust or playing with your friends you can explore everything at wish.
i'm not so much for randomization or for paths that are still linear but which change, cause linear is linear.

I'd also CC back, but this suggestion seems to have been even more unpopular than the other one.
