Respect to the Veteran Players

So I've only been playing this game for about a year, but going back and exploring some of the old content for fun, it's pretty obvious to me how hard the veteran players had it.
Whether it was Act 6 or the everest content at the time or even the stuff in the back issues. Sure, I can roll through them in my sleep now using 7s and high 6s, but I've checked what ranks were available at the time, and that content must've been nearly impossible with the limited resources y'all were given. I don't think I would've been able to do it, and probably would've quit out of frustration.
And if we compare like EoP now with 7R2s and 7R3s and ascended 6s, it's pretty much child's play compared to fighting the old content with the low ranks you were given.

Learnt it the hard way after spending 3k units in, twice (A total of 5k units and 3 unsuccessful attempts before finally defeating him after the initial nerf (3 charges)).
And did I talk about abyss collector who OG players have to defeat with a 5* Aegon? Pure revive spam until death, and last 10% is pure fun with random unstoppable and unpredictable death.
5* rank 2 she hulk. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
Do you own a copy too?
I was just chilling, farming revives in act 4.
Took 6+ months to explore 6.2, those damn class gates.
Speaking of respect for veteran players , I’m surprised no one has mentioned that we just passed the 10 year anniversary when alliances started in MCoC

Because of the difficulty of Act 6, acts 7-9 were tuned down completely.
Variant 1 was some of the most restrictive and hardest content we saw but many people couldn't handle it so they nerfed all the variants going forward.
The reasons why we have things like Epoch and what not is because they can't make regular content hard. There's so much complaining that happens if content is hard and the forums are flooded with "content isn't worth the rewards" etc... so we get things like the "of pain" series or Epoch. Optional content for those wanting to take on hard content but leaving options for others.
