1.d4 is boring

And even if it is you should be ready to face boring positions and equal positions you r not gonna smash someone in the opening at a respected level

It's probably boring/annoying because you don't understand the positional nuances. 

For example, me, I find a traditional slav/semi-slav defense very "boring" (yes I do) because I don't understand the reasoning and positional ideas behind a lot of moves.

For example in many slav lines, black plays Bg4, and white can play h3+g4, and it's just very strange. I don't understand it much. So I refrain from playing those openings.

I also enjoy playing positions that many people would consider boring, such as exchange kid/philidor kind of structures. I find those very fun, but a lot of people don't.

But if you think d4 is boring, from the black side, you are probably just don't appreciate your current opening, or you haven't found your thing yet.

Against the london, one can try 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bf4 b5!? or a worse off line like 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bf4 Nh5!? If you play 1...d5 against d4, you can try an early f6 line that levy (gothamchess) recommends. 

it is but eh thats why its soooo good and respected as an opening at the top, its just super solid and strong that you have to grind for over 50 moves for even a tiny advantage to win

Not really, it's quite easy to get a positional advantage against someone who forgets even one aspect of the positional nuances. 

thats kinda a bad example, i am meaning in general lets say idk around our range its harder to make any type of special progress with black to gain a win

D4 is a great opening but only if they play a Queen's Gambit or one of those 2.Nf3 setups. And that is according to Chess Coach Andras. As a 1.d4 player, I hate other d4 players who play the London, the Colle, the Veresov, or any other boring setup just to play the same moves against anything

I quite like d4 leading to Colle variant openings, which I've recently taken a shine to. Definitely a relaxing way to open, so I guess it IS boring in that sense, but I like it. I can get nicely developed to a (now) more familiar position going into the midgame almost regardless of what black does. I say "almost regardless" cos Fritz 18 goes bonkers with the black queen on any non-noob level setting and spoils everything  

I'll persevere with it for now though...

try e3

1.e4!!

d4 is more exciting than the overused italian and spanish games. d4 often leads to more open and attacking games than e4.

No such thing as boring openings. Only boring players.

Try g4 then.

Bored ? Then play the Englund Gambit. It is refuted, yes, but nearly no one plays that and if they do, after 7 or 8 moves they don't know how to go on further. It gives you amazing piece play against an opponent who , playing d4 as first move, expect a pawn shufling game.

The OP plays a lot of 1.d4. And he seems to win with it quite a lot, too.

So I think he's not saying that he finds it challenging - he's saying that he finds it repetitive. Which can be a valid claim.

I used to play the French Defense a lot. And I faired decently with it, too. But it was the only e4 defense I played, and I always played it in exactly the same way.

The games all began to feel similar to one another. I started to crave variety.

This can happen with any opening, if you keep playing the same variations. Even dynamic openings like the Queen's Gambit (or the Sicilian Defense) can become monotonous, if you're always playing the same lines ...

london's ez to equalize against 

Once you get hit by a trap, you never fall for it again. I once got mated in 8 moves, now I’m +3 on move 8. 

you still get traumatized for life though
