    [Suggestion] : Making the unviable dungeons viable

    So currently there are many a dungeon people just really don't want to run. Maybe because the loot isn't so great, or it's a bit slow compared to other dungeons, or just because of the whole fate being faster issue. This is a shame, because so many great encounters are to be had in these dungeons and so I propose the NPC's in the game make these dungeons far more viable.

    Part 1 : Make the current XP gain inside of the dungeons the base line below which it cannot fall. This is the minimum you can gain from running a dungeon.

    Part 2 : Add a bonus XP / token loot whatever item for those dungeons that are run the least over a 24 hour period.

    Part 3 : Dialogue some of the NPCs in the area to give appropriate Lore to encourage you. "Kind Sir, please. None of the adventurers have cleared the xyz hold recently and we are overrun again. Would you be so kind as to help us out". "There is rumour of a hidden chest filled with loot" perhaps a random spawn chest you need to find with 1-5 items in. Add bonus quests from these npcs for additional xp when the dungeon is run or perhaps bonus loot (pick an item type stuff that comes from loot in that dungeon).

    Part 4 : Display a star type system in the DF so you can see which dungeons are offering bonus XP.

    Part 5 : Apply a similar system at the top level dungeons. Wouldn't it be fun if instead of spamming WP, that actually CM is worthwhile again. I like changing it up but getting people to go outside the fastest method is frustrating to say the least.

    Personally I think dungeons should always be better xp than the fates, quests or leves. Currently its above quests because there isn't enough quests, and above leves because they are terrible xp. But it is still well short of fate grinding.

    I just hope that that "low/mid" lvl dungeons are gonna be prioritized for HM versions, over already existing Lvl50 Dungeons, so they are "interesting" to do at least. Though the low lvl version will still not be viable, at least the whole design and content of the dungeons will serve another purpose than just the Main Storyline.
