== Content ==
			
There is absolutely no challenge in challenges anymore.  I'm someone who never hit max level and recently subbed in prep for drop 4 and really dislike what has happened to challenges.  You don't even have to try to get gold.  On top of that, I always have minutes and minutes to spare - I just got gold on an awkward jumping challenge with 3 minutes left!!  It just feels trivialised and stupid because then you get a (basically) guaranteed reward at the end of it.
 
Please increase the challenge on 'challenges' again.
 
I should add I'm level 21 or 22, have never been max level on a char before, and don't have a strong grasp of builds or game mechanics (got no idea, really).

It's not just the challenges. been levelling an engineer over the last few days. Either:
 
1. engineers are stupidly OP at low levels
2. spellslingers and espers are just that much harder to play OR3. the difficulty was nerfed far too hard and it is now a bit of a faceroll joke
 
sometimes I don't even bother moving out of the red, it only tickles
 
have to say though, I do like that each kill or collect whatever now counts for a lot more of the quest completion. was actually a little surprised a few times that the quest was already done only to realise each objective was 25% towards quest completion instead of the previous 5%. takes  a lot of the tedious feel out of questing.
 
there is one quest in particular in whitevale that I'm hoping got hit particurlarly hard  when it comes to the amount of kills and collects needed :D

			I disagree. I've given up at silver for tons of challenges. Maybe post 50 they're too easy but certainly not at level.

			Its funny. At launch it was, awww this is so hard make it easier or I quit... Now its boo hoo its too easy im not happy.  Dont people ever get tired of whining? I know I get tired of hearing it.

			For the new player with no gear or no idea whats going off, the balance is about right, after all most don't jump into a car for the first time.....then win a race

I think challenges are fine as they are.
Perhaps you've only found the easy ones so far. There's definetly challenges out there that require you to be on your toes and know what you're doing in order to get gold.

"easy" or "hard" is kind of relative to the amount of times you've done a particular challenge too.  I mean I remember when getting through a PUG STL was like pulling teeth, now even bad groups kind of trip through it and finish without much aggravation.
 
The only real way to keep "challenges challenging" is to keep adding new ones to the game so you're regularly confronted with something unfamiliar.

There's a few challenges in Crimson Badlands that you may be touching cloth over...although I think the Shards of Aggregor one has been made a touch easier because it was very very brown pants stuff to gold that before!
 
Don't forget gear plays a big part if it's a kill type challenge too, they don't scale etc..so they will get easier as well as you knowing exactly what to do and where to go.

			You guys weren't getting golds on challenges before Drop 4?

			i think they have been toned done abit but its not like you can sit and not get gold you still need the effort but i can get it on my warrior more now

			You thought it was too easy then? Maybe back then they fixed the issue to be honest. Now days you REALLY don't have to do anything. There was a challenge where I killed one mob and was 33% through silver. I mean what the *cupcake*.
