The game was too hard before, it's now unplayable...

Avg. playing time per day for each player is quite different.

But they seemed not to really play their game, so they balanced their game for players who play 12+ hours a day. Or even they balance their game for teams.

That's because to most of us normal gamers, the campaign aspects of this game are "The Game" and the endgame maps are just something they added on so that the power players will stick around and keep playing after they finish the rather short game. And the campaign aspects of the game are still ok at this point other than the crap loot.

But of course the power players see it completely the opposite. They consider the endgame maps as "The Game" and the campaign as a rather long tutorial to get some basic equipment to get you started in "The Game" :D

So no way is everyone going to ever be happy here.

Another person said "I honestly dont care about the difficulty. if the rewards matched. but they do not."

I agree with this 100%!!! It's always been irritating to me that you take the risk to go up against some hard rare mob or boss hoping for nice reward and then nothing drop that my loot filter will even show. (And I'm taking about the equivalent of neversink's SEMI, his 2nd most liberal filter.) And I'm talking about the campaign not the endgame maps.
As for 3.15 I'm working on my third character, then I will decide which character to continue with in Endgame. I am finding that I am having a really hard time getting any decent gear to drop and that I have way less currency that I usually do at this point.

Tier 16 expeditions are garbage loot-wise. I don't know why they didn't scale them properly but the lack of anything significant is painful

That usually gets adjusted later on in the league if they find it's insufficient when looking at the data. As long as you have been here , you know how cautious they can be.

Original post hit the nail on the head.

+1 to OP. this game is not fun anymore. this is the earliest i quit a league
