"Added some superior tier 13 weapons that were only obtainable in hard modes as low-probability drops in Balder’s Temple and some superior tier 13 armor sets as low-probability drops in Fane of Kaprima."

Please tell me I'm misunderstanding that. The whole point of farming normal mode was so you can progress to hard mode for the next tier.

"Low-chance" I'm sure it won't be too often, I hope at least.
I can see this being like: Geared for HM, farm HM and get all your gear.
-Farm Normal mode for T13 drops for enchanting fodder.

Oh well, it's most likely to gear us up faster for the new content when it comes out.

Considering one of the only things keeping people playing is the fact that they need to grind these instances a ton to get their gear, I find that highly unlikely. What i find more likely is that people complained that the HM were too hard.

^ This. Expect a new dungeon or 2 yearly. This game is about grinds not killing bosses or content.
