Though I fail to see why any of the new dungeons represent a challenge tbh :/ I one-shotted all the bosses day one and nothing seemed that difficult. Maybe with randoms one or 2 bosses may be hard if noone knows a thing (no instant communication) but that's it.

Also, forced stops ? take all to the gate and kill them quick. the keeper is done under 20 mins.

This kinda sounds like "Look at me. I'm elite." It may not be the intent, but it just comes off that way.

So these new dungeons suck because you may actually have to do things as intended instead of just facerolling through it? Damn, i'm sure that those devs who spend all that time trying to design a fun, engaging dungeon are such horrible incompetent people. Next time, let's just request a giant room with constantly spawning enemies and call it a dungeon, just for players like you.

EDIT: After looking at your profile, I think I can understand why we have a difference of opinion. I've been here since beta 3 and still haven't maxed everything. I personally prefer to take things slow and enjoy the game and everything it has to offer. I see you have everything maxed tons of specials mounts/minions, fully melded artisan gear, etc, and has been in game for only 6 months. Although I don't know you, that info, coupled with you comments on speedrunning, paint an image of someone who feels compelled to burn through everything. Different playstyles completely.
