This game has never been "hard", from what I hear EQ was hard, a lot of old Korea/Chinese MMOs are pretty hard from what I hear as well.
That's not hard, that's tedious. Also, if you have to create difficulty for yourself by playing content in a way it wasn't meant to be played, the game is too easy. Endgame content should not be the only rewarding content.
