I'm all in to make optional extreme mode dungeons but what can 4-man dungeons do much with mechanics? I'd like to see EX-mode dungeons be full party instead and requires mechanics similar to LotA. As for rewards, how about make them drop green meldable items? I see an increasing trend to equip melded equipments than go for the highest ilvl.

And as for difficulty, the players will ALWAYS try to get the most reward by doing as LEAST as possible. I mean... who pulls normally at Brayflox HM anymore?
Most of the time mechanics were added to bosses (generally trash was only made stronger). So a boss on normal mode might just do his thing while on heroic mode the thing may be enhanced in some way or the fight may contain adds. Either way the heroic encounter will throw more at you than the normal encounter did, this is on top of the numbers going up.
