I guess I'm being self-serving, but I still think Empyrean is where they took the biggest leap in difficulty, and so far, the 1500 HMPs and 60 rifts requirements have remained the same throughout all this. I'm sure many, and especially the devs, consider these trials to be balanced against the relative ease of that which came before. I, of course, disagree with that.

Camate mentioned that the intention for the Stage 1 Relic trials was that they would be doable by someone who was able to complete the previous trial. It doesn't seem from my perspective that the same philosophy was used for the 95-99 Empyrean trials. I just wonder is there any chance at all that the devs will be looking into these trials?
