Do you find Dungeons fun?

[Recaldy]

Not after the first time.

Enemy placement is 100% meta and it hurts to see them clumped together in a large open space before you pull'em. I feel they're all there just to extent the clear time not at all to make the "dungeon" challenging.

The areas themselves are hit and miss. I prefer my world spaces to have a purpose prior to why I'm there for it to be believable. Not hallways and large arena rooms where the SOLE purpose of them existing is for a boss fight. I TOTALLY believe this big monster spent it's whole life prior to this fight waiting in that big open room for years on end. I want to BELIEVE the world my character is currently in and be IMMERSED into the game.

Is there any lore to why Haukke Manor looked like Allagans lived in it? Why are the rooms and doors so tall when the props inside them are for normal sized people?

Dungeons aren't fun to me.
They have super easy bosses, irrelevant loot, and the newer ones after Bray HM are all gated to prevent large pulls.

Pros:
-Cool designs.
-Boss fights are fun.
-Tests of skill outside of battle technique.
-Neat prizes.

Cons:
-Trash.
-Boring trash.
-People too eager to assume speed runs.
-People.

The dungeons are really fun. However, people wanting to force speed runs down our throats are not. At all.

Dungeons are fun maybe the first 4-5 times running them for me but then after that it becomes more mindless grind. I'm not a relic grinder (I think that would make me want to stab things) but the boredom is applicable even from just logging on once a day to do an expert roulette and cap poetics IMO. Personally I hate trash mobs and they just take time and make the dungeon seem longer than it needs to. There are a few things I think could make dungeons more fun though...

For one, I think I'd enjoy a dungeon where you have to run through 6 or 7 more difficult boss fights rather than running through trash and a few mini bosses to get to a main boss. I think it would be fun to have a 4 man dungeon that had the feel of "DPS check" part of Amdapor HM where mobs keep spawning and you have to kill them all in a set amount of time. Maybe without the timer aspect... but replace trash mobs with mini bosses appearing one after another with no break such that you have to play efficiently as a healer and manage TP as a DPS. I guess in the end it would feel kind of like BCoB turn 4 from back in the day but at a lesser difficulty level such that it met the requirements of being casual dungeon content.

Another idea... replace the boring trash with puzzles that you have to solve as a party. Think (OMG CURSE ME FOR BRINGING THIS GAME UP) FFXI with the Nyzul Isle assaults and having to press switches either in order or at the same time. I also like the idea that floors in Nyzul had different objectives which adds a bit of randomized fun to the dungeon. It would be fun to bring some cooperative puzzle solving as well as goal randomization into FFXIV repeatable content rather than the CHARGE THROUGH THE EXACT SAME PATH, KILL TRASH, KILL BOSS, GIT TOMESTONES, AND PROFIT that exists right now.

I love them. Would rather do them than fates. The exp seems much faster if you dont count the que times.

[SpookyGhost]

They're fun the first time. Sometimes they're fun to speedrun. Don't like doing the same dungeons daily, though.

[Katsaria]

The 4 man ones? Not really. They are basically devoid of challenge so it's more like a chore. They're fun the first time though.

[Reokudo]

Fun only the first few times. After that, just a hassle to get out with your tomes.

I like dungeons; especially if I havent been in that dungeons for a LONG time (I'm looking at you tam tara HM)

Having multiple jobs help alleviate the repetitiveness of it
