{future} release Brutal at the same time

Please don't blatantly ignore my reply again. Yes, people play to have fun, myself included. I said my v. of fun involves being challenged. I don't consider content that can be easily steamrolled after a brief introduction to the mechanics much fun.

All I'm asking for is difficult content that coincides with end-game to be released at a better cadence. Rather than many end-gamers beating t9 in a month's time, then having no further challenge left to them, & leaving them with 5 months of easier content or identical, harder content.

Brutal Coil sounds like a nice touch, but it's the same encounters albeit possibly more mechanically difficult.

If CT2 launched with its Brutal v., that would be a lot more fun to be challenged with. Or if an Extreme Mode 4-man were released alongside 2 HM's instead of the current 3 equivalent 4-man pattern.

Something more for end-gamer's who derive fun from challenge each patch cycle that is fresh.

Oh, a challenge eh? Welp how about purposefully stripping down to i45 - 50 gear, just barely at CT ilevel reqs and playing that way? The only reason its not challenging to you (as you pointed out) is because you grossly overgear it. So sync your ilvl down and try it that way. You could even do it in Coils for fun. See how low you can get your ilvls and still be able to clear it.

The devs aren't required to do EVERYTHING for you.

Artificial difficulty =/= challenge. That's why people do 3 heart runs in Zelda games - not because they're "skilled" but because it makes things tougher artificially (pretty much everything end-game will one shot you.)
