Asking for a harder mode is a more than reasonable suggestion to Larian. Combating that suggestion by saying players should self-restrict and make up their own rules is entirely unnecessary and unhelpful.
Please ask and hopefully you get the perfect combat challlenge for you one day. But in the meanwhile the suggestion to add some self-rules might be helpful to make your experience more satisfying.
In another thread you explained to us that you won the "House of Grief" combat using only scrolls and cantrips. Then you suggest Larian restricts the number of scrolls. Don't you see some kind of contradiction here ? Why not select a few scrolls and no more, and send the rest to camp instead of waiting for Larian to fix this for you ?

Also it is highly unlikely that Larian can provide a solution for everyone. Last time I peeked into an ongoing "honour mode" livestream, it went like "we go to this room because that chest contains a very powerful helmet". OK. So buffing and foreknowledge and actively seeking out the most powerful items is probably a thing that many honour mode players want to keep.
