The player should not have to change their difficulty because Larian over-nerfed. We were perfectly happy with exp in Reapers Coast the way it was. Also, I had not seen a single player request saying "nerf Reapers Coast please". This was a screw up on Larians part trying to fix a "problem" that did not exist.
I can't believe that there is anyone who believes you should have a pitched battle with Voidwoken and come away with 0 exp, that is just lazy programing and a insult to the player.
