For ages I've really wanted them to add proper hard modes for dungeons with a difficulty level akin to the stuff you encounter in the exploratory zones.

Higher difficulty that is not overly reliant on body checks and precise positioning like what Criterion offered would be the optimal middle ground to me IMO. Something that is easy enough to jump into without reading guides, but still difficult enough to require you to have your brain turned on and make full use of your job's kit.

this. exactly my opinion.
i'm bored of the dungeons (including a-raids nowadays) we have while savage content doesnt really appeal to me with their mechanic design

That's something I miss from the ARR-HW era. When we got "hard mode" variants of dungeons. At the time, it was different even if we outpaced them quickly with tome upgrades.

I really want WoW Mythic dungeons in XIV.
Basically the dungeons have levels, from level 1 bosses have additional mechanics, from level 4 they get an extra buff and so on...
On top of that, there's a timer that gets reduced by the number of KO. If you fail the timer, you still get to finish the instance and some reward.

Criterion Extreme was good but the savage difficulty is so annoying barely anyone wants to engage with it.
