The difficulty of Normal Content in this game needs to increase.

[Connor]

On its own that is a fair point, but since the game already did something to raise difficulty going from EW to DT (mostly speeding things up and arena spam, but okay), that kind of renders the first 37 pages of this thread irrelevant because they're discussing fixes to a balance from a state in which it already no longer exists.

There are times it just isn't useful to just pad the new onto the old.

Imagine buying a current-year model Mercedes and your car manual starts with the instructions on engine maintenance and cranking to start the T-Ford, and goes through every model and make of consumer car ever built before it starts in the last few pages to provide information that is actually relevant to the present and the thing you actually have?

Isn’t this directly contradicting what the devs have said though? They’ve stated before that they vastly prefer one ‘mega thread’ about the same issue over 10 individual threads doing the same thing.

And as I mentioned I feel like saying whether the ‘actual difficulty’ has been ‘raised’ is something debatable in and of itself, so I’d say the topic is still relevant enough to the OP. And I mean, even if it was necro’d just to troll, i don’t think the actual thread itself and how it relates to current design are suddenly made irrelevant because of those ill intentions. Like it doesn’t necessarily mean there’s definitely nothing left to say about the issue
