Conquest Change - intentional?

Why would they increase the difficulty, it was fine before? Add new disks and consumables, give us different bosses - cool, but there was no need to ramp up difficulty on an event that was already fairly challenging and time consuming. So what if a few players at the top found it easy. I am sure the majority of players don't. I will not longer buy a pass every conquest if this ramp up in difficulty was intended, the pass provides little to no value at this point.
