Yep, event are easier than before. Less (or no more) RNG, less pests, less small pests but more bosses. And all the ennemies have far less HP than some early event but they do slightly more damage. i guess event are designed to be easily farmable unlike firsts events designed to be hard to 3 medals.
And it will not change soon. On DMM it's the same and maybe worse. Event are ridiculously easy with an almost good team and don't even need speed control or changing teams position at the start like some of the last events on Nutaku.
