Thank you all for the answers. Yes, it's a matter of preference for sure, but it still pains me that that in a game with a perfect tool to make everyone happy, which is Berath's Blessings and Magran's Challenges, there is no such an option. It's not like I'm the only person who becomes bored when the sense of progression is gone, hence the popularity of difficulty mods. I'm sure an additional Challenge would have helped a lot - I mean, it's feels more appropriate to reduce XP via in-game GUI rather than messing with files and mods. At least for me.
