Ascendancy trials: sub zero enjoyment - repetitive waste of time

Back after a year and just remembered why I quit. Brilliant game destroyed by locking character progression behind the most idiotic, repetitive, unfun and exhausting game mechanics I've seen in the last decade. No issue with difficult content, massive issue having to replay this monotonous braindead dragged-out abomination over and over ON EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER. Zero respect for player time & enjoyment. Whoever came up with these (and greenlit them) should be tarred and feathered.

Again to re-iterate what others already said - the issue is not the difficulty, the issue is that it's a neverending dragged out pointless slog that's lacking any semblance of fun, enjoyment or respect for players' time. Make it optional.

1000% agree!
