The event campaign difficulty level setting sucks.

Now we have to play them on normal, really? My characters are designed for elite difficulty and playing on normal it's just flat out boring. I just camped somewhere and set my weapons to FAW. I don't even need to pay attention. I would like a little bit of a challenge. Please give us back the difficulty levels.

Featured Event TFO's have had their Advanced and Elite difficulty settings disabled during the events.
This is because those difficulty settings don't always trigger Event Progress.
It's been this way for a couple years now.
