The new dungeon is still ENTIRELY too easy

Obviously it's a troll.

But I legit find it disappointing how dungeons are a slog to repeat.
The discovery is great but playing it again is boring. It would be cool if there was some RNG, branching, mixing the mechanics around.

I think what the Variant Dungeons did was great as they had several slightly different versions of each of the bosses with a different mechanic... If they bothered implementing something like that onto regular dungeons, it might make them more interesting.
Currently most bosses you could almost just record your inputs and have them be played back to get through the fight because of how overly scripted they are.

The problem there is that, like alternate paths and dead ends, players won't engage with it unless forced, and when they are it is engaged with to the absolute bare minium. The point of the Variants is to check out all the random variances you can find. The point of normal dungeons is to get in, get your loot and tomestones, and get out ASAP.
True randomization of the bosses would be fine, interesting even, but if you give players any control over it like with the Variant Dungeons, it'll get optimized down to "The bosses must be Jim v.3, Kim v.1, and Tim v.5" and anyone screwing that up runs the risk of getting kicked or otherwise harassed for slowing the group down.
