You're not growing in skill for going back to floor 51 with 99/99, running through bosses that are FATE level of difficulty, if you wiped on floor 170 from the boss because of it's mechanics redoing story based levels isn't helping you understand a boss fight on a set of optional floors. A player that has access to 101 would already know how items and traps work as they have seen it previously for 100 floors, so you're not learning here on how to manage items or traps, it's a development choice that honestly has no real benefit to redoing once one has proven capable of handling.

    It does have benefit, you just don't like it.

    Actually all the bosses in 110 through 190 save for 150 boss are all buffed versions of the floor-100 bosses and maintain all their major mechanics. If you are wiping on any of them due to mechanics rather than a dps check practicing on the weaker version would be a great way to improve.

    Floors 101+ are also tuned with the expectation that a group starting them already has a fair number of pomanders stored up.

    I'm aware that they're the same, I was stating that if you encountered any mechanic within 101 that you didn't already deal with in 1-100 it doesn't make sense to practice the things you already know how to handle. It's better to practice what you don't know that way in the event you have to deal with them you can accordingly. For instance if you play a fighter practicing against a zone heavy character wouldn't help you prepare for a rush down character. Alternatively playing on hard doesn't prepare you for extreme, as things might react to situations differently within the new difficulty bracket.

    You can't do 101+ in a matched party so this is not true.
