Its sad but true, people's AFK time is a sacred treasure that must be protected at all costs /s

I was being pretentious, but yes, people really don't want to be bothered with puzzles. Look at how everyone wants to do everything quickly, have no caps on anything, get access to stuff instantly, and so forth. Puzzles would make people foam at the mouth. For those that would like to do the puzzles, having a puzzle in a dungeon that randomly spawns might not be the best thing and you'd have those that demand that you know the puzzles via youtube, so there's no joy in trying to figure out the puzzles blind when everyone else wants to rush for the gold.

No need to become sarcastic...
There is a reason why Zelda games survived that long and are still very popular!
I have never seen any Zelda game where you reached 7th floor "easily"

Zelda = Single Player Game
Zelda =/= MMO

There is a huge difference.

Um, what are you saying?

Honestly for me, it's less about probability and more about the current way being just lazy. If the wrong door made it so that the next floor was hard enough that you had a high chance of losing, the only difference would be that there was at least some gameplay involved, even if the result of losing the fight was the same as just being shunted out to begin with.

I don't know how I feel about your insinuation that casual content can't also be compelling, but I admit I may be reading that wrong.

What I meant was people are getting hung up over the RNG for progressing to the next room when the rewards inside, to me, isn't really anything worth complaining about with the RNG.

No Zelda game manage to count your playtime in months

But puzzles would still be a good idea. But it should be random generated puzzle, to keep them somehow fresh.

Are people seriously complaining that they might fail? Some of us don't want everything to be handed to us on a silver platter. >_>

I think it's sillier that the complaints are on the odds of making it to the end for content that's casual and not going to have something outstanding to shoot for.

I agree. I don't need everything on a silver platter, but mostly I don't want the market to crash.
