A solo variant (or wipeless criterion) run can be 15-25 minutes though, which is a huge benefit when it comes to small-form hard content. It would be cool to see even lower-party-member form content though like a solo criterion dungeon (which gave maybe 1 variant action to equalize dps/survivability among roles), so that there was a way to run hard content solo that could be attempted/learned in 20 minute bursts, without losing hours if you failed.

Even without that though, Criterion+Savage are great, I just wish the rewards were maybe a little better / gave more tomes or something.
I don't think it's being ungrateful to ask for/expect improvements to existing content. I know there's a very small minority of players that are diehard fans of PotD/HoH and don't want them changed at all, but the vast majority of players seem to not really like them much, only engaging with them for the XP or items, not out of enjoyment.

I think they could do a *lot* better with those systems, and as you've said, the way criterion and variant dungeons feel, it feels like a possible path for them to take.
