How exactly did you get the idea that people are ASKING for more unforgiving fights? I'm pretty certain that most players are kind of annoyed that mistakes are punished so severely. In a lot of content, mistakes can mean a wipe. In some content, mistakes GUARANTEE a wipe. It's tedious to have to play perfectly nonstop. I mean, I think the content is relatively easy, but watching the group fail because other people keep screwing up... You get tired of playing perfectly just to watch other people screw up. It's tedious. I think difficulty should be ramped down a little, or at least make it difficult without having to rely on instant kill mechanics all over the place. And hey, guess what? Lying your way into an experienced PT isn't an "easy way through". It'll just get you kicked/blacklisted. No one has time to carry you.
