Adding risk to the game?

[Akonyl]

To be honest that:s the only way to do it and have it last. Gear will always make content easy, yeah they can lock it within it:s default ilvl like they did with Rath and ultimate. but look how those are played. - As in not enough.- Noone is doing rath and the few that do cheese it cause * It:s too hard T.T* People would cheese ultimates too if they could. Hell people buy their wins for that so yeah. Deep dungeon with how it is now is like the only REAL way to make content stay hard without people cheeseing it or whatever.

You can still make hard content with ultimate-style ilvl lock without making it ultimate difficulty. People who're looking for riskier stuff are probably not the type to constantly complain about things being too hard, the two complaints usually go hand-in-hand (like your above comment talking about the risk of eureka exp loss alongside actual difficulty).

Nobody does rath because there's not much reason to, and it's kind of a strange/non-traditional fight anyway with how it treats tanks/healers, so people looking for hard 4 man content probably aren't looking for something like rath.

Saying "people would cheese hard content if they could" applies just as easily to POTD, so I don't know how that's supposed to be a point. If you let people grind to +150 aetherflow gear in POTD 200, people would do that too.
