Challenge Difficulty Defautling to "Master"

If Challenge Difficulty is supposed to be" A new opt-in system for you to tailor your difficulty experience," why are all my characters set to "Master?"
Players should be required to opt-in, not have to opt-out on 20+ characters.
I have no desire for "challenge difficulty" content and expect most players feel the same. It's a system the game did not need and it comes at the cost of other content many of us would rather see, like new four-player dugeons and a new story zone.
At CP3600, I don't need extra XP at any level. I don't need extra gold or care about any achievements or titles. Challenge difficuly just slows everything down, and time is more precious than any in-game rewards. Finally, I prefer my arthritic hands not to hurt for days after making a trip to the bank and back.

✭✭✭✭Is it actually set to Master difficulty then? I just left it on Master yesterday for testing purposes, but I couldn't notice any significant difference when fighting some Overland monsters.0 -

✭I believe more difficult overland content has been a request for a very long time. I am glad to have it.0 -

Yes, it was set to "Master" on all 20 of my PC NA characters. I had to manually change it on each and every one of them. First thing after patch, my main kept reverting back to "Master" even when I had changed it to "Adventurer." For trash, it just took longer. For World Bosses that I can normally solo without care, it not only took longer, but I had to work to stay alive. I don't fight WBs for the fun of it. Normally, I want a lead or need to complete a quest for something that only drops from the boss and/or the daily reward. Extra time spent fighting takes me away from things I actually want to do in the game.Is it actually set to Master difficulty then?

A request from a very small but vocal minority of players, most of whom don't ever even do much if anything in overland.I believe more difficult overland content has been a request for a very long time.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Mine defaulted to Adventurer.
I'm wondering if players who had it default to something other than Adventurer are using any add-ons?I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!1 -

I run a minimum of add-ons, and all of my characters on PC NA are max level with functional builds. Every one of them started out U50 with "Master" difficulty. I received a reply to my in-game bug report that they are looking to fix this with a future update.1
