Guild Wars 2

I am lvl 80 now and most of my gear is rare with an exotic here and there. The result of that seems that I have less trouble cleaving enemies on my greatsword then I ever did before.
Whenever I go to a lower lvl zone and get downscaled it seems like it goes all smoother then before. It could be due to my armor, traits or experience in playing the game, maybe all of them or none.

What I would like to have is a harder time killing mobs. Often I get downscaled to the maximum lvl or one above. For example in a lvl 14-15 zone i become 15 or 16.

I think it would be more exiting to have an option to make the game harder by reducing myself by one lvl.

By the way it seems that the common desire is that people expect the game to be hard and like it that way. That seems a good enough reason to make events and such open world activities a tad harder when in groups of 10+.

What do others think of the difficulty?

If you want a harder time killing mobs, wear blue gear instead of orange.
