A request for Endwalker Dungeons (No more Undertuned)

[ItMe]

Didn't they update them to give decent leveling gear now?

If you are of level, yeah the gear is relevant.
Though like a toddler rapidly outgrowing their clothes, you level up so fast at that point in the game, and the stat difference makes no real difference when the numbers are all so low and close together, that it's still not really worth going out of your way for.

Yet most groups I get still do the two rooms and the puzzle. I've only had one where the tank refused to do them and pushed the party to just ignore it all. And the rest of us didn't really like doing that. There's something fun about the little mini puzzles with the heads to open the doors.

k.
That's some nice anecdotal experience.
My anecdotal experience is I've seen the party go out of their way for this stuff so few times this expac (during multiple new player booms) that I can count it on one hand.
Our personal experiences don't really matter too much though when the writing is on the wall as far as what the devs and what the greater community think.

Personally, I believe that mini puzzles are fun, but if there is a good way to integrate them into FF14 style dungeons the dev team have not figured out how to yet. Not when one of the highlights is something like pushing the right button in Sastasha.
