Should the Mage Tower be difficult?

That would be a really good answer if the devs didn’t push the fact that no special gear is needed to complete it. I believe there was even a statement to the affect stating you need not even have to play legion to compete it or have leggos. But come to find out if you do not want to bang your head on the keyboard for countless hours, farm legion gear is almost mandatory in the current state. Humm kinda a misnomer. I have to ask myself when does a challenge become more of a chore. 80th -100th time going into the mage tower and not getting past p1? That is not a challenge…
Is blizzard keeping the MT in the current state to gain/keep subscribers by offering them content they could work towards? Won’t work… I suspect many will say sc@#w this. I am so frustrated now with the mage tower in its current state I want to delete the game. Sure I am not the only one.
