I do realise you only have one (not very sharp) tool in your arsenal as a provocateur from your previous posts, and I hate to burst your bubble but I don't recall having ventured an opinion on whether Champions are too strong (or conversely too weak) for me.  I don't think they are/were working as intended though as some examples people were giving showed there were obvious flaws with the implementation.
So I am neither whinging nor gloating sorry.
I am however interested to hear other viewpoints and to observe how Turdbine handle this.

All I have suggested is to put the ePeen aside and provide some lucid commentary like Aeolwind and RV above, and Vaulties might take you seriously. 
In this page, both provide dissenting views, but neither feels the need to  denigrate the other's arguments.  Amazing what mature debate can yield.

It is possible to respect both arguments.  This is how compromises might be achieved and how instead of alienating a majority of the playerbase, they might find a way to keep the majority happy.
Turdbine will never please everyone as some views are too extreme to be palatable to anyone, but it will be interesting to see how they handle it.

champignons are no less than just a new little annoyance in the game. what's their fucking point? did they introduce them cuz some twat on the MB where whining ddo was too easy again? super pointless move and tbh some mobs just look ridiculosly stupid with their little crown.

How would you make the game harder?

Mobs have been retarded ever since I started playing DDO, I don't think that would be an option.

As for traps, the problem is not how deadly they are, after the first 10 runs or so, they're no problem anymore. Some randomization here would do the trick.

Not randomly, and no changes in epics that could potentially break heroic play.

For the leveling process I think EE is fine as it is.  When non-capped, running with god-only-knows-WTF-that-build-is pugs, on builds for PLs not synergistic with your gear/playstyle, it's challenging enough that I still have to pay attention.

On my best toons, on the right destiny, at their cap of course it's easy.  But who the fuck is leveling that these days?  I cannot even remember the last time I've seen a Wizard in a TR leveling group as most of the good players got those toons done first. 

ETR has been out about a year, people have gotten that "good" lives done already.  We've now doing complete bullshit for PL goodness like my current Bladeforged rogue (no, I didn't lost a bet) that are kinda shitty but I don't gain any more benefits from other PLs at this point.  When doing this leveling EE as it is in compelling enough to be fun.

Challenge me at the end-game, challenge me in raids.  Challenge me at cap.  We got 13:30 on an EE MOD last week, it was awesome.   Getting that under 10 minutes is a good challenge for my group of mooks.

Turbine's old epics were a good system - challenge people who are capped with a loot pursuit. 

Go for that "Mythic" difficulty, give us that setting above EE that gives NO XP, but add something to it so there is a reason to be at cap and stay at cap.  Give us an actual end-game and challenge us there.  Put the sentient weapons/items there and allow the GEAR to get XP, not the players.

And for fuck's sake no random shit please, Feather ruined "random" for all time.

then its worse than i thought - still have in memory pictures of toons dying in sorrowdusk force traps or deleras poison ones.
