Dungeons; a daily chore?

With the introduction of dungeons, I had a bit of hope that the game would not be stale anymore. Now that dungeons are here, I feel like the pressure is really on me. There's just way too much to do. AQ, AW, EQ, Trials, Dungeons. Me being in a top 200 alliance, I need to do arena almost every time getting BC because we do Map 6 5 days a week. I'll highlight a few points of dungeons which I feel, screw the game mode up;
1. They are so slow to do - It takes so damn long to accumulate points via doing dungeon 5. After 1 hour of doing it, I still haven't reached the final milestone.
2. The nodes we get, are ridiculous. I'm all up for skilled fights but these ones are just moneygrabs. There's one where the defender gains power by blocking. The AI is also so passive, how am I supposed to counter that?
3. Blocks don't work, evade doesn't work. My champion is doing a light attack, instead of a medium. Specials attacks don't connect, enemy recovery time is 100x faster than anything I've ever seen.
4. 5.5k prestige requirement to see the 5* crystals and 7.5k milestone really? Not fair. Lower it. It's not fair at all.
5. Chat doesn't work at all. You guys said you would fix it, and it still doesn't work. I need to switch to LINE app all the time, to communicate. Why introduce such a thing when you know that is bugged?
I appreciate kabam for making a new mode of gameplay, but it's just so bugged right now. Take it down, take some feedback from the community, and fix it accordingly. Don't screw us up. Dungeons shouldn't be a chore. We should accumulate points faster. I don't wanna do 15 rooms just to get the last milestone, that's 3 hours of my life.

I reach all the milestones, but the problem is that it takes way too long to reach the final one. 2-3 hours of just dungeons. Difficulty is fine, but some fights are just ridiculous and cashgrabs.
I want it to be a chore, but I don't want to sacrifice all my time just to get the top rewards. I already have way too much going on in game.
Otherwise, it feels like you are locked into a room for too much time to amass a decent amount of rewards.
Just a complete waste of time and frustration in my view
This new game mode is a godsend to those who don't do arena, but is a real killjoy for an arena grinder like me with limited free time during the day to dedicate towards a game.
Then don't do it. Sheesh.
10 minutes ............. no way
The reason comes down to the fact that the dungeons rewards come in the form of special currency that presumably expire at the end of the event. If they awarded Glory, or some other special dungeon currency that was persistent, then even if the events themselves came and went, as long as I could carry the currency forward to when the next event ran I would feel less pressure to maximize my returns in them.
I agree to an extent. But if you want the 5* awakening gem, then you have to hit dungeons and all other infinity-related events hard. If you want gold (and units if you're FTP) then you have to hit arena hard. If you want glory or shards to open new champs worthy of raising your prestige, then you have to hit alliance events hard.
I'm not usually one to complain (I love arena grinding actually), but everything is feeling too overwhelming to do in such a limited space of time.
I might actually just take a break from the game or just slow down and focus on only one aspect of it. With my real life commitments, I can't devote more time to this game than I already do.
It’s just insane. If this is how it is then energy should be removed. I’d be fine with all this content. If I wasn’t handcuffed by energy. You’re trying to make this anMMO. Sweet. They don’t have energy.
It's three fights in 12 minutes, including time to check the node boosts, make decisions and communicate with your playing partner using an external app as the dungeon chat is somewhat bugged. Not being able to drop the dungeon if you are not finishing it. And the time I've used writing this post, even though I did not check for proper use of English grammar.
Perhaps this mode can be upscaled to a type of mini AQ for 2-4 players to complete within 2-4 hours for all the rooms you are able to play, with no time restrictions for each room. That would probably allow people that plays on their spare time to take advantage of it.
Also, I see many members "wasting" their time during AQ or AW and this is causing serious problem to the whole ally.
Not to mention how unenjoyable it is swiping back and forth between Line and MCOC before each fight to confirm which boost your partner wants down. The several months of broken in game chat is inexcusable for a product this big and profitable. The censor function is completely broken and Kabam refuses to get rid of it even for private chatting between 2 friends. Why would you want to censor your friend or ally mate, if they offend you so much you would just unfriend them? And if the censor actually worked it wouldn't be so bad, but it randomly censors out about every 4th word you type no matter how neutral or benign it is. You can't even type "which node to kill" since kill apparently is a horrendous word no player should be exposed to in a game where the only action is killing other champs.
The funny thing is none of the mods even know how broken the chat is in the game since they apparently spend minimal time and effort actually playing the game. Typing about the game in a web browser with a real keyboard isn't so hard. Having any converstion even brief directly related to game strategies is essentially impossible without having a 3rd party chat agent.
