I’m glad that’s true for you. I’m in my 60s now, and I feel like I’ve played a million games. I don’t care about challenge anymore. I just want to play through the game and see what it has to offer.
In the case of this game, I’ve yet to come anywhere near FULLY maxing out a character’s gear in a season. Not even close. So I’m always a bit reticent to accept arguments in favour of making the game harder to get gear.
