To me, Honor (as it is right now) is just a calling for a new achievement. Once it's done, forever it's done - you can't even trace your steps backward as there is only one save. So, an Honor run is supposed to be VERY different. The easier the Honor mode is, the better. The faster a Honor run goes, the better. Shortcuts, tricks, high-level spells, legit abuses, etc., should all be used to get the achievement.

The only meaningful goal of an Honor run is just an achievement. And any "amazing" YouTuber would show potential Honor runners how to get the achievement in an amazingly short time or otherwise amazingly easy way. In a way, they have to make the game ALWAYS look easy (to you the audience).

It is very understandable if a YouTube only wishes to make a Honor run more or less look like a walk in the park. This has little to do with how easy/hard the game is to millions of players who merely play or role-play the game to entertain themselves.

Imagine this: Should an "amazing' YouTube choose to be silly enough to fight Titan/Gortash/etc. in a "normal" way (like a first-time newbie player) - on Honor Mode - would you still feel their gameplay videos "amazing" at all?

Dude. For the sake of brevity:

1. I don't find them amazing. That's the point. The game is too easy. I've personally walked through Honour Mode.

2. If millions of people find it hard, then the hardest difficulty probably isn't for those millions of people.

3. The hardest difficulty should be difficult.

Why some people are so against the game being difficult is beyond me. If you don't care for a difficult playthrough, play on a lower difficulty and let the rest of us find the challenge level we're looking for. While I'm sure you find your own input valuable, I'm curious why folks asking for a harder challenge warrants that input.
