Just got word that Colin is leaving and Mike O’Brien is taking a double-job post. Is this a good thing for dungeons/raids challenging content in general, considering his latest endeavours? Meanwhile while they don’t find a replacement for the job, does this game need an outside person to come in and shake things up more than never?
Might be best to give this a read first.
It answers your questions best.
also regarding the dungeons/raids questions.
As the A-net employees are split into teams they will continue working on their respective content as much and as well as they can.
In the AMA was also stated that they might look into reward-changes for dungeons.
John Smith:
“We’re continuing to focus on Fractals as our primary focus for 5-man content. However, given the reaction, we are taking a second look at the current dungeon rewards.”
This gives a tiny ray of hope for the fellow Dungeon-Fanatics.
I don’t think raids are something you should worry about either.
A-net has been experiencing great numbers related to the Raids with a larger percentage of players participating in GW2-raids compared to the raids in other games.
As such it’s likely that they will get plenty of attention.

Dungeon-team is still rip so “progress is very slow at best”, but they are looking into dungeon rewards again. There were some rumors that they might end up introducing new dungeons with the next expansion, but I don’t think that’s likely.
Fractals are so-so, fractal leaderboards ETA never, legendary fractal backpiece unlinked from leaderboards, they have plenty of plans for fractals apparently including completely new ones, reworking AR and instabilities and whatnot. Raids are still good imo, next wing on tuesday.

They flat out said that without dungeon team there will be no dungeons, or even any bigger changes to currently existing ones. They also said, that not only they don’t have a dungeon team now, but they are not planning to change it in any foreseeable future.
So, the best we can hope for is that they may ease off a bit on rewards nerf. Which they seem to be considering, but with no decision reached yet.
Actions, not words.

Exactly why I said it’s not very likely. It’s very much so a shame though.
Yeah, hm, I’d rather focus on raids than dungeons… that’s dead content. I’m pretty sure I ran an amount in the low thousands – or at least it feels like I’ve been dungeoning since I was born.

I tried helping some friends to finish their dungeoneer collections, then I realized why I have stopped running dungeons since forever: I fell asleep halfway through it. The power creep makes it worse. I feel guilty for literally not doing (or wanting to do) anything and getting carried all the way to the nine. I’ve run out of classes to feel fresh running through dungeons. AND the inventory problem. I had to stop several times to clear it. Annoying af.
