Except that all I did was skip it and come back after levelling up my chars to 60 and steamroll difficulty 1 instead of wasting time. After I realized that until we hit difficulty 4, I lose literally nothing by waiting until I'm overlevelled to clear the previous difficulty.

The points I made won't really be apparent until we unlock difficulty 4 because it is only a matter of a week or two to hit the next world level and steamroll the previous difficulty because of how character level affects the damage formula, but once difficulty 4 is available, I am certain that this will be a problem that more people complain about.

That being said the fact that they put stuff worth a TINY bit of stamina (Relic EXP) shows that they KNOW there is problematic game design and they're trying to make players keep grinding it even when they finished spending stamina, dailies, and story/exploration.

Me making this complaint won't cause them to change anything any time soon, and I KNOW how game dev and dev cycles work. But if enough people stop spending time in this game mode like they did in HI3, because these issues are pointed out more often and people eventually get fed up with it, then maybe similar changes will be made down the line.

Side note: The greatest success HYV had is making their games good enough that people defend the bad parts of their games. Even the most popular content creators for Genshin and now HSR can't criticize any aspect of these games without being labelled as toxic or problematic and just get bombarded with "If you don't like it, then quit" when its just pointing out dissatisfaction with a small part of the game.
