Hard Mode story, delves and zones?

WikileaksEU

Can we please have harder mode at least in the story, but also in delves and entire zone. I'm tired of one shotting all mobs. You say "just do VET dungeons and VET trials", but im not always in the mood to do dungeons or trials, but I want to roam the zones and do stories, but it's kind of unfun when everything dies so easily.

People'll say "they should spend their time developing something else rather than something like that," but then there's the card game so that argument is no longer valid, or they might say "it'll split up the playerbase! And that's bad!" but that is something they already address through phasing, so it's not a valid argument either.

Veteran overland would be cool. They could reward new furnishings or motifs, cosmetics, or just plain more exp, but whatever is the case, the main reason for a vet overland would be to breathe some life into overland content that everyone has done a million times over. Making bosses of delves actually have mechanics and be on par with harder world bosses, make world bosses on par with vet dungeon bosses. This would be fun. There are arguments for and against such a thing, but I guarantee you people would have been happier for this feature than the card game.

Many people carry multiple gear sets for different levels of game activities, I suggest equipping level 1 white gear, or whatever level/traits/enchants you want to equip, and quest away. I suspect having low level inappropriate gear will give an added dose of difficulty for the basic content, similar to how having inappropriate gear makes VET content more difficult.

nah... Still nothing interesting, even with lvl 4 vampire, no blue/red CP, no food. Disabling passives is a bit gold consuming (once you want to have them in dungeon, for example).

We need some personal debuff stuff. Maybe crafted set or something, like Aetherial Ascension but with different debuffs.

The gear someone uses doesn't change the fact that many enemies are designed to waste their own time, so extending a fight against an incapable enemy doesn't make it more interesting or engaging. Plus if content difficulty was so heavily influenced by gear then less experienced players should be able to clear much harder content by just wearing the right gear, which isn't what happens, since game knowledge is the deciding factor in both areas, and one that experienced players can't just give up to make easier content more engaging.

This will not work because the game has already established this way. Craglorn is a zone for harder content but nowadays even that is trivial. Best case would be creating a specific zone just for this purpose but already released zones will most likely not change.
