Those huge dungeons

I know that not all dungeons will be huge sprawling affairs but how does intrepid make us the players want to explore every part of them? What incentives could be put in place to make it relevant or worth while to explore those side passages rather than just take the most effective path straight to that last boss?

For me I can not help but think back to vanilla wow and black rock mountain and how it all linked together to form a huge sprawling dungeon and I can't help but wonder if intrepid has any similar sorts of plans for their dungeons.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

My only resistance to this pertains to boss battles. I don't really oppose how the system works outside of that. I like the idea of group contention for a dungeon as long as the group is small. I am a little opposed to a guild just storming the place and owning it though.

Systems like that really shine with party contention, but are a plague when it devolves into guilds owning entire sections of the world so you can't farm there ever again.

I like big dungeons in general so I don't have much to say against that idea specifically. Especially when lore is involved.

A stronger guild wants to get the place for themselves 24/7? That's when you and your allies form a coalition to fight back, or maybe support with mats their rival guild, maybe even you and your guild save to pay a mercenary guild to wipe them out of the place.

There are many ways to handle that situation in a social sandbox. Be creative!

I would love to find hidden nooks and crannies where secret backrooms for treasure, or side passageways that lead high up in the main chamber for potential ambush spots.
