Dungeons are becoming style over substance.

That's your opinion. I enjoy playing my Jobs and fighting the bosses. Most people enjoy the content inside the grind to keep coming back for each expansion. I'm sure plenty agree with you and play anyway, but addictive gameplay is frequently cited when people talk about this game.

In essence, it'd be nice to have more exploratory, time intensive content, but not as a replacement for quick dungeons. We're way past discussing throwing out tomestones entirely. Not gonna happen. And there's not gonna be some developer reversion to 30 minute dungeons or dungeons people constantly ragequit like in WOW, because it would kill people's ability to farm tomestones effectively and reduce player retention as people start to feel they are now playing that shitty game everyone quit in droves this year.

I mean, some people like huffing paint humes, too. Doesn't mean they are good.

People didn't leave WoW because of it's content. They left due to the attitude of the devs and their philosophy of "we'll fix it later". Burdening the game with countless half ass systems. Again, dungeons aren't the only method to get tomes.

"it would kill people's ability to farm tomestones effectively". Ya see, it isn't even about whether or not the content itself is good. Just about how efficiently someone can farm tomestones.
