It's not about finding out what to do, It's about exploring every inch of the cave, even if it has no point. That's why people are getting all of the aetherial gates, It serves no purpose for getting equipment or anything, it's just fun to get there and avoid the aggro mobs along the way. I thought many people were into this, but i guess the majority just thinks about stats and equips and shuns those who don't. I'd even be willing to just keep the open dungeons we have now, even if we didn't get anymore, and if the devs can't even give me that, I have to say they are incredibly lazy and I don't think I'll be playing anymore, not that anyone cares.
