    Game suggestion: "Original" difficulty

    One of the selling points of the "Minimum ILVL sync" option was that this would allow you to attempt trials and such as they were originally intended to be played.

    But today's further nerfs to Midas mean that even with Min ILVL, the fight will be very different. You no longer need to care about Mind Blast, it's just a soft raid-wide aoe now. You don't have to take a second to click Surecast when a bomb's about to explode. It's ok to die because High Wire isn't permanent any more. I haven't tested but you probably don't even need to strategically place the ice missile at just the right range from the waterspout...

    These are things that Minimum ILVL aren't going to change.

    I would like to suggest that a new mode be added, where the various floors of Alexander can be attempted with all their mechanics intact, with an enforced ILVL sync equal to the max at the time (210 for Gordias, 240 for Midas, 270 for Creator when that inevitably gets nerfed). This will truly allow players in future to experience raid content "as it was meant to be".

    I rather like the idea.

    Yes, it's nice for players to be able to go back and complete a duty that was beyond them previously after a nerf.
    But I'm sure there are just as many who feel as though they've missed out on something, not getting to experience content as it was first presented. I know I do with a number of things.
