Remove the middle barrier in dungeons.

The boss shortcut thing really doesn't get along with no barriers. What's stopping me from doing most ARR dungeons where I pull all the mobs into the boss, die, let my entire party die- and then use the shortcut?

They suddenly had just let us do that in this expansion.

If they added it, they can remove it.

Besides, I prefer to let people find their own fun. The Barriers are an example of wanting to curate a specific experience, but the thing is, that the specific experience is part of whats making it boring.
I have fond memories of the weird A Realm Reborn Dungeons, and the different ways we'd use the cross class skills to tackle obstacles. Like Variant dungeons are a good idea in concept, but in how they actually played it was rather disappointing.

I'd love it if Dungeons became places to explore, not just pick a b or c path.

Two things:

- The shortcut only appears once the boss is dead. So the situation you're describing isn't realistic unless you did mean to kill the boss as well. In which case, why would you waste time dying? Just continue on as normal.

- You could make it so engaging the boss also pulls aggro from all leftover mobs in previous rooms. This could lead to a wipe depending on how spicy they wanna make it, or it can make it really fun for the supports suddenly having to scramble to grab aggro, deal with the incoming damage, DPS juggling killing the adds and dodging mechs, etc. (This could also become an intentional mechanic for some bosses, where they call enemies you previously saw out of reach). So people can handle dungeons in two ways: You run it normally and the boss won't be able to call on any/many mobs or you speedrun your way to the boss room and do one big, very spicy pull.
