Yes and no. The real problem was the boss health. However, the thing is that they didn’t just target potencies. They targeted the base scaling of how much stats the gear have and how much they provide as well as how much bosses do and they have health wise. They aren’t “accelerating the problem” unless the problem was the damage players were doing themselves. And it probably isn’t a stretch of the imagination to think that they might do it again if it gets that bad.
