So, dungeons in FF14 are used in a different way than in EQ2 or WoW, which are more side diversions to break up questing than with a story like FF14. You can get to top level in EQ2 and WoW without ever visiting a dungeon.

Also, by the first sentence in your main post, it seems you want stuff fast and easy, which FF14 doesn't do very ... well. You got to work for what you want. You can see the changes of dungeons from the beginning ones that have multiple paths and side areas to get PoIs from and chests, to linear ones with no deviations. I think that was a good idea as people get to a point they just go from point A to B in the quickest time.

Maybe I don't see the dungeon issues like you do right now, so to me they are fine.
