The one redeeming feature of the easy map + hard map duo (e.g. dunc) is that if you wan't to farm the zone, and not just grab charm reward and not come back, you always have the incentive to improve your character to the point where farming the harder option is viable. Otherwise you are wasting the time running to the cave lvl 2 only realising that you have to reroll.
Basically it's a challenge to overcome and those always feel rewarding.
But anyway this is all offtopic musings, since the actual purpose of this thread, it seems, was to ask this question:
Marco wrote:@King: no, what I'm asking is whether people like the fact that dunc/k3k got new maps considering they are harder.
I won't add map variations in 2016, I'll spend that time doing a brand new map instead (if).
I.e. would players like uberlevels we've done to death for years getting a complete makeover (e.g. whole new map), considering it will be harder? There won't be any multiple options.
(By the way I don't think that the original post's poll question accurately reflects the above, they are kind of unrelated)
