Is the only reason why Easy provides the same amount of esoterics is because then why would you go into it? I'm also assuming the monster spawns aren't changing, correct?

    For Normal: Again, why lower the amount of players? Why attune to aetherite at all of you only have to do it once, but must continue to do it every time you enter in Hard? Overall you should either have aetherites attunment in all modes, or not at all. More to do with hard, but if the objectives are harder than they are in normal then why doesn't Normal provide more esoterics?

    For Hard: Why make Hide work for DoL but then remove gathering nodes? Wouldn't be pointless? This may just need explaination on what gathering nodes are because I was under the impression that a node was a thing that you click and get loot out of. Does the Daidem provide spawnable chests randomly for gathering loot then? Why is there a scaling difficulty in objectives for easy and normal, but for hard? Shouldn't Hard's objectives be more difficult to do but provide the most esoterics, especially since it requires going in with a FC?

    General Rules: I get that this is a rule primarily to avoid the whole "leechers" issue, so no real questions here.
    Heya,

    For Easy: There is simply no need for 72 people on easy if the mobs and spawn were to be adjusted. The whole idea is to give easy to people that just want a change/gather. Meaning less monsters, less respawn, less HP, less attack.

    For normal: The idea here is to have a more scaling content. As having to attune makes it more difficult, attuning would be necessary once at least. On the number of esoterics, either it provides the same or more, I am flexible there.

    For hard: I think you misread, stealth would not work on hard mode as there would be no gathering nodes. Hence, no need. For the Esoterics, it could be more, of course. However, the main objective of the diadem is not esoterics afaik. Hence they are more like an added bonus.

    A node is a spot a DoL can access to get materials like wood, ores, etc. Sometimes gathering on a node will uncover a Treasure Chest.

    For normal: But attuning once is not difficult at all, unless they change it to require a good 30 minutes and involves fighting a large boss monster or something. Like I said, having flying attunment be a 1 and done thing just seems like an unnecessary step if I only have to do it once and never again in my life. Especially if Hard makes me have to do it every time.

    For hard: I think I am misunderstanding, at least in regards to gatherers. If there are no gathering nodes, then gatherers simply don't do Hard. Am I understanding this correctly?

    Already happens, a I mob gives less chance for silver or gold than a III mob.

    Not lots of people going on Diadem easy for the 'better loot'. I'm personally going to get eso, and the achievement (do 100x easy, 100x normal 100x hard), or I would only do normal.
