first of all , not everyone agrees . cata was kind of polarizing . people on this sub Fair enough , but I ' ve seen a lot of people on Gearbox ' s forums also saying they would have liked it if Cataclysm was remastered as well . the main reason people don ' t like difficulty scaling in hwrm is because the available resources have been greatly increased , and because it has no upper limit and things get more than a little out of hand . hw 1 had scaling but much less available resources , and an upper limit of about 5 x . that ' s why so many people mistakenly think that hw 1 doesn ' t have scaling . they don ' t take issue with it if it ' s done well . Which basically also means scaling has to go ? We all agree it detracts more from the game than it actually adds . I don ' t know , scaling might not be the reason why people like cata , but it definitely does affect the gameplay so you also can ' t throw out the effect it has on the enjoyability of the game .
