I mean I did mention specifically it would be nice for donators in the $5k+ range and you're talking about legendary where it's only $750..
If you think the first 6 waves is what's going to make or break your run, then I'm assuming you can't even clear wave 7, let alone gotten to waves 10/11. I agree it should be a challenge, but no way is starting at wave 6 going to just clear your full run, especially if we still make players take the invocations from the waves they skipped, I personally don't use many supplies until about wave 7 or 8 except for possibly 2-3 super restore sips, if you can't do this then maybe it's more challenging for some than I originally believed, but don't look too hard at my kc though, I haven't ran many attempts at all since the nerfs, and have felt that it shouldn't take long to clear if i give it full attention for more than a couple of days (copium possibly?).
If the players think a higher splinter drop rate is a better move I could get behind that as well.
I've gotten to later waves and to Sol multiple times, I have just not been good enough to finish it and that's why it is fun. It is challenging and it was intentionally designed to be challenging.
Also I did not say that waves 1-6 are make or break, I said that if you can't do those (the ones you wanna skip) then you can't do the 6-11.
Again, all I read on your response is you trying to sound smart about something you really aren't while defending it to get easier... but that's old news :)
