Difficulty format for Normal and Savage will remain in 4.0

Not true, it's a combat design change, from memorization skills to strategy skills, which actually can be much harder.

I really wish they took Diadem that route... But no, instead we just get bullet sponge enemies with no mechanics, and "world" boss style NMs similar to Odin where the only strategy is "Throw more people at it"... Christ SE, how did you get Diadem so damn wrong? It had (still has) so much potential, and you just slapped Hunts in an instance and called it quits... All you need to do, SE, is tune down the HP and give NM a solid XI ZNM style force pop system... That's all... Then the event is good... Not great, but at this point I'm willing to settle... Why am I instead stuck waiting on 3.5 for a replacement to Diadem that'll likely just be a repeat of the first? Christ... I'd even be somewhat more OK with the absurd HP levels of things if you didn't decide to lower our time limit in Diadem for no well explained reason...
