It would be nice if older trials had a bit more difficulty. I don't think they should be wipefests, but the fact that you can easily skip mechanics and that mechanics that do happen feel weak makes them a bit boring. Even if the attacks don't hit hard, I would like to see the mechanics. Even a small ilevel sync would be nice.

The problem is most long time players in DF want to take it easy. I was in a trial roulette yesterday where both tanks left Yojimbo before the duty even started. We didn't even wipe once that fight. If older content is too hard I think people might just stop doing roulettes.
