Aurum is fine, players adjust!
No but seriously, I think (1) people have become spoiled by all the brain-dead AOE-fest dungeons; and (2) people have experienced higher level gameplay and now syncced low-level is just unbelievably dull.
I wish every expansion had a couple of non-AOE dungeons where healers have to use Repose, DPS has to focus fire, tanks have to position properly etc. Leave them out of the roulettes to avoid the crybabies throwing a fit, but make them rewarding. When everything is tuned to be just mindless w2wAOE, the level designers who created the beautiful and intricate interiors must be feeling very empty inside.
