I was pointing out that I ran the first 5 dungeons more than 100 times and didn't burn out on them, and most of those runs were on Copperbell and Halatali. And still have fun with them. So yes. I can claim that I can run the same dungeons that many times and still enjoy them, because I have already done it on other dungeons.

This is what I was saying: it depends on your purpose. My purpose in running dungeons is the run itself. Not getting stuff on the other end. And first runs are rather nerve wracking for me: I very much dislike the "new" experiences. It isn't until I do know the dungeon well that I start to have fun in it.

I agree with this for the most part. And I know it was not your point. I was merely responding to an assumption you made that I feel is somewhat flawed about "everyone" burning out on this content.

Again, only if you run for the gear itself. This was my point. If you run for gear and gear alone, all of the content is ultimately easily something you can burn out on. It is also a personally a strange reason to play. I play for the fun of the dungeon itself. Not because I am being rewarded for playing it.

That to me is like being burnt out by going for a bicycle ride because I always take the same path, and it is always the same and I don't get anything new from it. What I get from it is enjoyment from the doing itself. Not from some reward at the end.

I have been playing 30 hours a week since launch, and I am not remotely burnt out. But I don't play dungeons for gear drops. That was my only point: why you run a dungeon determines when/if you will be burned out by running it. I didn't mean to derail this thread further.
