I really appreciate the level of engagement everyone has given this discussion, particularly the people that have respectfully signed on to say that they like where the difficulty is at and why. Obviously one size will not fit all, and I think it's telling that the poll has consistently sat at nearly a 50/50 split with a small lead for the hardcore crowd overall. I've been trying more of the difficult (for me) content like Legendary Lost Sectors and Nightfalls, and I admit that I'm coming around to the new normal. It's a very different game that you have to play extremely defensively, but I don't dislike it. I regret that I can no longer chill and listen to podcasts while playing anything other than Gambit though, and Raids/Dungeons still have the most satisfying difficulty in my opinion. I still think that legendary lost sectors need some tuning. Players NEED exotic armor in order to complete the builds that allow them to do hard content, so the current difficulty feels like a straight lockout for new lights. If you don't have the exotics you can't do the lost sector, so how do you get good exotics besides RNG and prayer? I think the better solution would be to revert the difficulty on legendaries but increase the drop rate for Master LS to make them worth playing for the true hardcores that can still do them in less than ten minutes.
