1. Limbus required you to go through multiple areas in order to fight the true bosses.
2. Dynamis was multiple zones with the overall goal to kill the Dynamis Lord, and as of now, the overall goal to kill the Arch versions.
3. Einherjar has multiple wings with the overall intention of fighting of Odin.
4. HNMs are popped and were never really content to begin with.
5. Salvage everyone did it at least twice a day if points allowed for it.
6. Sea/Sky wasn't long lasting due to "limited by pop items", it lasted long because you simply can't defeat all of the Gods, do Divine Might and Limbus in one sitting.

Even with them removing restrictions in the last year (time wise) and over the course of the last 4 years (in general) you still can't completely blow through everything in one sitting.
