Only one dungeon in odd numbered patches

It's not just mechanics that the dungeons brings. They bring a ton of new assets. This includes the Hard Mode dungeons. From new monsters to new ideas that we eventually see re-purposed other places. Some mechanics are also designed alongside the raiding and they come at the same time with the raid mechanic usually being a bit more difficult. This gives the player and easy version to practice before a harder version they take on at a later point.

It's PotD's fault. Not only does it get them up to 60, they can now get a free weapon and buy some PvP gear to get into the Expert Roulette in which they'll do horrible because they never learned how to play their character. Even if you were to read the tooltips, that doesn't mean you'd know how to play the class. You now have to worry about positionals and other things that PotD doesn't really have. PotD is basically 4 people or so hitting something until it dies. You don't need to pump out any real dps.

Not in the least. I'm saying they're all copies of each other (and half of them are reskins of older dungeons to boot) and they're depressingly linear. And - this is less a mark on dungeon development and more an indictment of the playerbase for enforcing speedrun mentailty - not much reason to stop and smell the roses during a run to appreciate these "new" dungeons.

Being desperately linear doesn't mean that they're not bringing new stuff to the game. Trust me. I hate how linear and speed-runny dungeons have become. I want them to improve on dungeons. If they were going to make the new dungeons more exciting, I would be fine with less dungeons, but they're not going to do that. They basically said we're doing less dungeons (content) so we can give you more content (but we're not telling you what that could be). If this was something different, it would be unacceptable. You wouldn't pay someone to tell you they're going to do less work, but work super hard on something else, but refuse to tell you what that something else is, but come on, it's totally going to be more work than it was if I was doing the basic work I was providing before.
