SE adjusted mat drops for hard dungeons (Skullbreaker Island and the likes) so we would have more chances at getting equipment and less mats. But they oversee the new expert dungeons and it's again or still very annoying.

If we were talking about rare mats that we couldn't get with tokens/tomestones/seals, like manor varnish or Dodore skin, then I would actually be happy, since those are very very rare. But we still get common mats and really, sometimes people don't even open the chests anymore... why would they?

If SE really is so excited about mats in dungeons, please make it so it really only is about special mats (ahoy dodore for my upgrade in gathering!), not something we can get elsewhere by handing in the correspondent currency. It really breaks the inmersion when you beat that relatively hard final boss and what you get is a friggin cannard breast D:
