Tedious can be hard, and hard can be tedious, they're not exclusive.

A lot of people find stuff in this game challenging outside of Eureka solo, my point wasn't that someone should try that unless looking for an extreme hardcore challenge, something akin to the ironman events that people do, no there's no reward for doing so other than knowing you did something challenging/tedious solo.

Just because some people find something too easy doesn't mean that others find it as easy, some people are just better at adapting to the situation than others, not everyone is a quick thinker. I will agree that the content has gotten easier over the years but that's because our stats rise, our hp/mp get higher, we have more skills to work with CC isn't a thing as much anymore, etc. Hence why Classic WoW came back, you had to use your abilities to the fullest in order to survive, on the other hand the raids weren't much beyond simple mechanics. It's like Dark Souls, it gets far easier once you remember where most things are, how to avoid them and get stuff early. The hard part is the first run through.

Endgame should be the most rewarding, not the only though, you're correct on that.
