Yes, they are super boring, especially Lab. The only good thing about them, is that they are fast. With 15 min. for ST it is as fast as a normal dungeon.
As much as I love Orbonne or Dun Scaith, I always fear wipes, so I'm not that mad, when I get ST or Lab (or WoD). But I do miss those nice Orbonne runs, I had back when everyone was running it.
I got into Weeping City a few times lately and it felt refreshing (though ppl still fail on Ozma).
