"Coming into its own" is too much!

Yeah you have that already. If you clear the engaging and challenging fight of Nidhogg EX, you can get a i235 weapon. If you want something even more engaging and challenging you can try your hand at Alexander Midas 4 Savage to get a i245 weapon.

And no, a majority of people don't wait for nerfs to do this. 210 stage might be nerfed when ilvl250+ weapons are easy to get so those that wait for nerfs mainly just go for alternate weapons. Most people do it as it's released.

Ive done Nidhogg EX and have my weapon which has been since replaced with the i240 anima weapon. Most people would like some engaging and challenging (hardmode fights are barely challenging) but something that isn't just a grind with no substance. To sit here and say this is acceptable is crazy. And yes a portion of the community do wait for nerfs you can see it in most threads that relate to this subject.

Ive said it before they should have 2 versions, one that is engaging and requires some effort (new trials, solo fights, etc) which is more difficult and a boring way with lots of grind like we have now.
