Which gap? between Hard and Elite? How so?

There can't be only one way to play the game!
We must have Choices!
AND
Forcing People to Play EE and Only EE is the OPPOSITE of Choice!
and yet you are sitting here saying you wont run the quest on anything other than EE... what do you REALLY want? more reason to run other difficulties or for EE to be easier?

Let's say I take people's "advice" in this thread and run Demonweb Solo on EN 20 times followed by Solo on EH 20 times and even then when I step into EE I get killed by the first mob!
What do I do?
I put up a Group and no-one joins!
What do I do?
I only ran these quests on EN and EH in the first place to LEARN them so I could run EE but I'm literally NEVER going to be able to Solo EE so whatever happens I'll still need a group!
I don't even LIKE these quests!
They're not "fun" now and certainly won't be "fun" the 41st time through!


You get nothing for running EN or EH other than XP!
Completely false. running quests accumulates renown and completing sagas allows you get choose renown as a reward.

If getting a group for EE is difficult then how difficult do you think it is to get a group for EN or EH? - I'll tell you how - IMPOSSIBLE!
so solo it on Normal or Hard....

If the quest isn't "fun" and doesn't offer any tangible rewards on that difficulty then why am I gonna run it?
then dont. move on to something thats fun.



Now - People have complained for years {incl. me} that Elite has become the Default. And we mistakenly conflated that strictly with XP.
I've come to realize that XP is actually the LEAST of reasons to run Elite!
If all I wanted was XP I'd never step in an Elite quest ever again!

The Elite amongst us will always want their top difficulty to give the best rewards BUT other difficulties cannot be as far behind as they are now!

And when it comes to Sagas - Obviously the rewards are so large already that pushing Epic True Elite up so as to make the other Epic Renown rewards better would be a mistake!
On the other hand - Reducing the rewards for Heroic True Elite {and lesser Heroic rewards} would also be a mistake.

So - I simply ask for Epic True Elite to be given new {different and possibly cosmetic only} rewards for those who want the Challenge AND the bragging power!
While also upgrading the Lesser Epic Saga rewards to the same as Heroic Elite to show that YES these ARE more difficult {and time consuming} to complete!
if renown is so important to you and your guild... why wont your own guildmates run the EE quests with you?

Maybe you need to take a look at your guild and figure out how important renown really is. If no one but you really cares about the guild level, perhaps there isnt really a reason to rush to 150.
