More difficult content is better, but you are forgetting about

I feel that most of the dungeons have been streamlined for those who are complaining that their expert takes too long.

Expert has taken me 16 minutes since I got to doing endgame stuff in Heavensward and learned to do big pulls and started doing raid content. I would time expert dungeons through my years playing and they were always 16 minutes, to the point I could queue 16 minutes before reset and clear a few seconds before reset in almost every case. The amount of times I cleared with that 1 minute left and got my daily bonus is crazy!

...now they are more like 11-14 minutes in recent times. Starting to get as quick as you can make some of the ARR dungeons. I'm not sure why this is. Maybe it's because tank AoE is better than it used to be (ie. PLD didn't even used to have any once upon a time or had a mere 100 potency whereas now they have this giant blade of faith burst). So now as a tank, I don't have to endure people single targeting enemies for an eternity and can just aoe them myself in seconds. Maybe all tanks having gap closers helps speed it up too?

Every expert dungeon is nearly the same with hardly any variations.

To be fair, their answer to that was variant dungeons. Just nobody values them as a solution to this and even if they are, they aren't part of the mainstream roulette.

The variant dungeons aren’t any different either, they are basically 3 routes that all share the same first boss and have a different second boss with boring trash in between but occasionally you press a rock or something

The core of variant dungeons is still boring trash between unimaginative bosses
