Do i like linear Dungeons ? No, but i dont believe SE is cabable of creating a suitable reward structure for any PVE content... PVP for some reason it works partially (PVP Pass).
Even on the exploration side of content they are failling dispite getting it almost right with Bozja. As if they had all the data and came to the wrong conclusion... looks like a
pattern (Job-theme, side quest, relict weapons...etc.).
So yes let me have the ride on the one-direction-kiddy-train with a whack-a-mole in between, it's better then wiping and getting nothing besides "the good time".
