In agreement mostly.  The terrible drop rates don't justify the extra headache for me.  I only run Spider H-10 during CvC and rest of the time I'd rather solo a normal dungeon.

So, two things:

1) There's no question that hard10 is better than any of the standard dungeon levels, if we are only looking at gear. Mythic items aren't the point. The reason hard10 is better is because you have about a 10% greater chance of getting 6-star items, which is huge.

2) That said, if you're taking 10 minutes to run a hard10 dungeon, and that's an issue for you, then yeah, stick with normal.

Those both said - I have zero reason to run anything *other* than hard mode now, since I have no need for food anymore. Set on autobattle while I'm working, and glance at my phone periodically. Done and done.

I'm on team run Hard 10 because I just need to give myself every chance I can at the highest end possible gear. Was already running normal 25 for this reason, don't plan on stopping now, even at the cost of food grinding. Really only doing that for fusions anyhow. 

Can't tag OP right now: did you mean to include a suspect link in your edited post? If not, I would suggest running a virus scan. :)
