Because more and more of them are just questing areas from the world. This trend increased to a great degree from Legion onwards, and now we even have a full zone turned into a dungeon in both DF and TWW.
If this modus operandi is here to stay, I find it justified to either have more than eight dungeons per expansion or one or two more zones in the world.
We need proper dungeons!
I disagree…
Have you played Uldaman, or WM? The most recent “dungony” dungeons?
It sucks. Camera goes all over the place. With all the AoE its impossible to see anything…
In Spitefull weeks I literally dont want to play those dungeons…
List goes on…
So IMO, we need both. But we did get dungeons like you say.
Put on some glasses maybe u see something. People overreact about the camera and visual effect of spells tbh.
To no one’s surprise.
Does putting glasses on stop the camera doing stupid things? What dumb advice.
Over-react? Im sorry… so if I go with a frost mage and a ret pala… All I see is yellow and blue swirlies everywhere…
And all I have to know if the mobs are actually doing something is my plater UI where I see what they cast. But other than that, I cant see it in any other way.
And that only happens in Uldaman and other tight-corridor dungeons.
As for the camera, it gives WAY more information on the encounter if you zoom out to the max. That way you not only see what is going on, but you can predict and position yourself properly.
And “camera zoomed out to the max” will drive me insane in Uldaman. The only way to play that dungeon is to zoom in to the but of your toon. And it sucks to play that way.
And if you dont think that is a problem, then you eat half that stuff. Because at the levels you do it, it wont 1-shot you and its not such a big issue to pay attention to what the mobs are doing.
Stockades 2.0
Tbf, my eyes start to hurt after some time with intense particle effects.
Really wish I could disable visuals for allied player spells to some extent so my view isn’t as cluttered with info I literally don’t need.
All this can be adjusted by the designers, it should not be blamed on the dungeons.
I also think actual dungeon areas and not reused questing zones lend itself more to interesting level design and boss fight rooms. This is not to say these cannot be great in quest zone–dungeons, but already the level of adventure and exploration is much greater in places we did not visit in our campaign…
I would just like to say that I really thought Nokhud was a one-time experiment but they will have another such zone in TWW… On average, the dungeons will be shorter with less bosses (and DF dungeons were too long imo!) and there are still only eight coming…
We need to voice our demands and dissatisfaction with that 4 zones / 8 dungeons / 3 8-9-boss raids formula per expansion.
I agree its lazy design, reusing zones for dungeons,
We should have more, unique ones every major patch, they should move the overall arc of the story along and add story to the zone they are in, in addition the to zone.
In vanilla we had 25 dungeons and 16 in wrath
Its like season 4 lazy retail content.
Maybe try doing them on higher levels and tell us about your experience about the 2nd affix and how mobs living longer then 15 seconds because their health pool increase causing problems with the abilities you previously either ignored or didnt see.
There is a setting to turn them down in the settings isn’t there? I’ve never changed it but I am sure there is a option for it, spell density or something like that
Putting it on “essential” still makes a ret pala completely taking over the melee area with light effects, unfortunately. I have died so many times playing with my ret friend in blackrookhold on the last area with the big swirly effects simply not notifying them fast enough because of the ret 
Fair, as i said i’ve never tweeked the setting myself but I personally have never had a issue with it. I have shout outs on dbm though which helps me i suppose 
Doesnt matter i wanna do them on any level its all about awareness simple
no. Most of the ,things, that play this game cant figure 1+1 = ? and if you make them learn even more dungeons the game will be total mess…
I do would like to get more dungeons, like in Legion and BFA. Then we also do not need to get new dungeons for every season.
I feel like it doesn’t do anything really. But maybe that’s just me.
