This may have been said before, but I'll say it again:
Epic dungeons in NW are BORING. Basically, there is no unique boss mechanics to worry about (some variation of abilities causing red circles to dodge/block) and the overwhelming amount of adds makes every encounter feel the same.
Can you actually design a fun fight where I'm not just running around from red/dodging ads/taunting or killing ads, popping pots and generally doing the same thing in every instance, throughout the entire instance?
As a side note, you have encouraged exploitation (I'm not going to mention anything here because I don't wanna get banned) as THE go-to tactic for most encounters. Either knocking ads off ledges (which is fine, IMO, since it's not entirely skilless or risk-free), or bugging bosses in one way or another (which I find 'fun' the first time, but it feels cheap/unfair and lame after a while) so you don't have to deal with the 309182798424 adds. You have also made single-target dps (read: TR) unwanted for most runs, while CWs are in god-like demand. Actual 'tanking' of all the infinite ads is also nigh-impossible (lol @ guard meter when you're in a sea of mobs).
There has to be a way you can make the pve in this game fun, I'm sure of it. Just look at some of the best Foundries for ideas if you must (as another side note, Foundry has quite a few bugs, that if fixed, will make it infinitely better - for example optional side quests or divergent objectives).
SO my question is, what is stopping you? I assure you we care less about the promotional store items and new pets than we do about a fun PvE (and PvP, but I won't go into this here) experience.

Man. The PvE is just add spawning fights, all the time. If I remember correctly there are only a couple fights that don't involve massive add spawning. I was hoping to come to the forums and find that they changed it, or reworked some fights or...something. I wouldn't even mind them copying fights from somewhere else. I havn't played for 6 months or so at this point, but I keep checking back hoping it'll get better before it gets worse. I'm still praying with Star Trek Online though, so...lol.
