Again I hear this "I wish it was" [insert very heavily unpopular game here].

I'm sorry to say, the population who likes the 'challenge' are in heavy minority here. I love a challenge, mind you, but it's there, it's limited. Most people complaining about challenge call fowl when they can't clear Tier 5 Coil, or say the reason they can't win Titan is lag.

Challenge is there. It just does not feel that way when it's overcome.

Right now it feels very much like a Vanilla game to me. Limited variety, so those who are in the front of the curve call everything easy and too quick, while the bulk of the playerbase is still in the story, living it up. Few people deny how great the story was, how it had a grand sense of adventure. I'd love if we had more of that in some way, honestly. And one things start filling in and we have more to occupy us, this question of "Let's add a challenge." won't be such a big one to conquer.
