PAX EAST: I was the person that asked the "Challenging content" question at the end.

Yeah, sounds like they misunderstood the question. Probably could have honed it more specifically, too. What I remember hearing was "more challenging content" and Yoshida definitely took it to mean "make the content you are putting out, more difficult."

Making it more difficult led to Gordias which killed Heavensward raiding.

Might have been better to ask "can we get additional, varying levels of difficulty to all of the content?"

But people have already asked for a third level, like Savage Extreme, and I believe dev team has already said no, it will remain normal and savage.

Actually, I think it's more they took it as an extreme. Asking for more challenging content doesn't mean Gordias and it's absurd DPS checks. You could take dungeons and scale them up slightly so we aren't widely over geared. As for a third difficulty, they said the opposite and have specifically mentioned looking at developing an Extreme Savage. That being said, they stressed it wouldn't be for anything except a title and maybe a mount. No gear as it's meant to be a challenge.
