    Thank god the forum community in almost any game makes up such a tiny fraction of the overall playerbase. There is a reason AAA MMOs have mostly easy dungeons.

    It's because the age of the average gamer in the US today is 35 years old. And most have families now. This isn't 2005 anymore. Most people that started playing old school games are now adults. They play a couple hours a night or whenever they can sneak some time in. They don't want to spend time figuring out crazy hard dungeons.

    More so in a Final Fantasy game, where story is king.
    I'm 32 with a full time job and back in school full time to finish my bachelor's degree.

    Doesn't change my stance on not wanting dungeons to be brain dead.

    Again, no one is asking for ex or savage level.

    Just... Maybe something more along the lines of pharos Sirius when it released, or AK.

    You know, make you think a bit. Them being slightly more difficult won't increase the time it takes to complete them much. In fact, the time it takes now is laughable. It used to take 35 minutes to get through leveling dungeons back in 2.0.
