I think I haven’t seen many advocating in this thread to have it remain where it is.

Some do, they enjoy it as it is and enjoy the fact it doesn’t take too much brainpower to clear. Which is a valid point, whether someone else likes the consequences of it or not. So I think we can safely conclude some are actually happy with it the way it is now. Some don’t want it to be harder because dungeons will take longer, and they’ll get even more frustrated with other players not playing great. Some worry it’ll give reason for a rise in elitism and more people getting kicked, which, all things considered, isn’t farfetched when I think on how that played out in other games I’ve played. Some feel it is sufficiently hard for new(er) players and I have to say as a new player myself it’s a lot to take in every time with all the different boss abilities and mechanics. This obviously changes once you get more familiar with content but it’s something to keep in mind when you design content everyone is funneled through. I’m just giving a few examples of why people may oppose change, I’m sure there are more.

Personally I feel boss fights in this game are fun, with a lot of interesting mechanics. It’s obvious they put a lot of effort into that. I do think the general flow of dungeons could be changed, I get the hallways 3 packs of trash complaints. I’d suggest looking into that if anyone asked for my opinion But what I’d replace it with I’m not sure. Tougher trash? I think many would just find that annoying. More intricate layout? Probably the same. More optional events? People would skip that for maximum efficiency if they can. A lot has been tried to entice players to play differently and I think often it feels like needless and frustrating obstacles to the finish line. That’s why I say I don’t know what would be an amazing alternative.
