Event Quest - Classic vs. Variant

Why is there such a disparity between the classic and variant versions of the events quests for:
1. Mystery in the Micro-Realms
2. Ultron's Assault

A recommended team rating of 250-2000 for classic and then 45,000 - 50,000 for variant is a massive difference.
The rewards from classic are not even worth the energy to complete. It seems like a no brainer to put team rating levels in between these... so my question is:

Why is there such a disparity between the two levels, and more importantly... why only the two levels??

Fair enough - might be something that could be added to to have something in between for newer players.

The people in the middle have acts 1-5 and all the monthly event quests. There is no lack of content for mid tier players.

But then they’d have to add easier levels of Lol and RoL

I have all of that 100% most of 6.1 all variant 2 and just completion on variant 1. I think the game can use more fun content that is not insanely hard. The direction as of late is all hard little fun.

Agreed. Once you finish Act 4, act 5 seems to be quite the jump - and event quests really don't take that long.
It would be great to have some mid-ground fun activity with reasonable rewards.

The in between content people keep talking about for mid tier players is all the uncompleted story content, LoL, and EQ they haven't done. There's plenty for just about everyone but endgame players to do

Every new piece of content released is end game outside of eq. The idea that there is not enough endgame content is a fallacy

I feel like middle tier is a bigger pool than you

I think we need way more hard and less easy

It's anything but a fallacy. How much time do you spend with 100% of everything available being completed? For quite a lot of us, it's a large amount of time.

Last month was horrible for that as it was so long. I had probably 4 weeks at least with absolutely nothing but AQ AW and arena to do

I do believe there should be another 1-2 difficulty levels added. that being said, the classic as mentioned is a throw back and variant is for people that are well advanced in the game. There is nothing for anyone in the middle

Monthly event quests are for those players, as think about it, the monthly event quests aren’t anything to end game players.

They get varient, which even that is what, once every 5-6 months say?

The issue would also be, if they did add a difficultly for the middle, the rewards would be shocking compared to Varient rewards, which no one would be happy about.

Middle tier players just want end game rewards easily, well it’s not happening!

I can't believe this is still being discussed. They are never going to create new permanent content for midgame players which a large section of the player base can 100% the day it is released with little effort. That's not how new content works. All the existing content and the monthly quests are there to get you to the end game. New permanent content is always end game. We went from LOL2 to Variant 1 without any new endgame content. Now they are adding new permanent content that is for every single player at whatever point they are ready for it.

Somewhat 2 different conversations. I know this mid ground is never coming, doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be nice. What I think you are missing is I know I will never explore act 6 and to be honest never care to. It’s a level of difficulty on certain paths that I have no intention on putting myself through it. I also know I am not alone. So it’s permanent content only a small portion will play. If you want the game to keep going on, I am not sure that fully makes sense

If you keep playing you will get more new champs and higher ranked champs. Existing permanent content will get much easier to beat. Lots of things in the game used to seem impossible, until they weren't. The classic Variant is an old EQ as it was. A mid tier level would essentially be a master quest that is new permanent content. I'm not sure that makes sense just because some players don't want to ever run act 6 or variant.

Making all content going forward balls to the wall is not a sound long term strategy.

It's not really "going forward". This is the way new content has always been. ROL, act 4, act 5, etc., were all the hardest content in the game when they were released. Then the game progresses and the end game moves. When people have start taking 6*s to r3, lots of content that many found too difficult will become much easier.
