honor system is not fun

What's so fun in having one random AoE hit from mob deleting 40 minutes of progress? I spent total of 7 hours failing on floors 3–4 to dumb RNG crap without getting anything for it. Playing melee feels awful i have to wait forever just to get close because of constant AoE spam, and I can't even block or parry without loosing honor. Just make it one floor and increase the difficulty instead. Respect our time.

Yeah, the honor system is very disadvantegous for melee. I dont like it either. It's okay for the first 4 ascendency points, but getting the 6th and 8th gets really annoying, especially because it takes so long to finish these trials.

It's definitely content I don't enjoy, but I think the heavy focus on trade and the current gameplay loop (PoE1 monster mechanics with PoE2 player movement set) are bigger problems.
