Who Thought Adding Difficulty Levels To Instanced Quests Was A Good Idea?

Does it really take maximum effort to complete these solo duties in normal difficulty?

I disagree. I think, if it ever comes to that point, then the expectation has already been set, so why should anyone be upset if people want to not put in the effort?

No, because everything has been made easier, that's why the usual complaint now is that everything is too easy (except for those who think it's still too difficult).

So clearly you are too skilled for this game then, might want to consider playing something else.

Being "too skilled" for the game's easiest 1% of content means there isn't, say, 99% left to potentially enjoy?

Except that was already the case, you could just fail a bunch for the Echo, now you only have to fail once.

Honestly, this. Either the Echo stacks for solo content should go, or the difficulty levels are not a problem, either.

If it is just for 1% of the content then why does it matter there is an easier way to do it, there is still 99% left for players to learn how to play their jobs and improve their skills.
