There's a deathmarch category and the main reason for the easy difficulty lies within the defenition of these categories. Most of whom are labeld ANY% - now I dont know if you are familiar with this term but it basically means you complete the game as fast as possible without caring about ingame completion and that you dont care about slowing yourself down with difficulty settings because thats literally all it does, slow you down.
On a diffrent note just because 100% of the runs that are on the leaderboard are played on easy (excluding death march category) doesnt make them easy at all and you'd find that out pretty quick if you tried them so no point in being condescending towards it.
Also saying it's "pointless" is a sorry excuse because we do have any% and we do have death march which basically covers the whole spectrum of difficulties. A "snoozefest" mainly because you lack the knowledge of the intricacies of these runs and not because we play on easy, there's nothing easy about them.
All in all im struggling to understand the reason behind posting such a comment but in my mind if you put your money where your mouth is you go out and do the deathmarch run.
mh usually these are pretty useless because quest triggers are a huge thing in the game and getting ahead doesnt usually progress the quest at least most the time that is, there are exceptions. anyways i think it'd be cool if you shared your finding in a video streamable or smth and post it in our discord https://discord.gg/eMBjekAFB2
