What I do want is to include more creative instances and objectives that continue to offer some challenge within the msq.

I fear that because people like the OP here complaining that "zomfg! this was too hard, imma quit the game now", is why the devs sometimes get afraid of trying out new things for combat content. This is off tangent but anybody else feels like the ARR dungeon designs were a heck a lot more interesting and fun that the linear hallway designs in current dungeons? Sure the set dressing of them has gotten a lot prettier and better but I miss when dungeons had a bit of substance to them and I was genuinely surprised to find out how they scaled back on the design by the time of Heavensward. And I imagine it was because of people complaining that they were "too hard" or "too annoying", bleh, what a way to butcher normal content design.
It wasn't people complaining they were too hard, it was veteran players upset that newbies were either not pulling the correct amount or were going down the wrong path. Haukke Manor in particular, I've seen quite a few temper tantrums on, when a player doesn't know where to go and wanders into a side room. They changed the design to avoid these player fights, now there's 1 path to go with no branching and the answer on how much to pull is until you hit a wall.
