OK, this has been bugging me a lot lately and I feel like this needs to be said. After May 28, 2014, things were never the same on this wiki.

Over the summer, this wiki received a ton of new insanely hard levels like 210 (FB), 266, 347, 361, 377, 437, 445, 562, 655, 664 and 677 for reality; 70, 109, 116, 117, 118, 168, 198, 210 (FB), 276, 289, 323, 325, 338, 341, 376, 382, 383, 384, 385, 389 and 409 for DW. That's 11+21, which is 32 levels, just a little over 2 episodes.

I am not against there being so many hard levels as we all know that Candy Crush is a really hard game. However, having so many insanely hard levels does make things look a little bit weird. Why is that?

Well about a month ago, there was a huge debate about the new suggested difficulty, almost impossible. A lot of people seemed to oppose the idea since there already was a difficulty for that, which is insanely hard. Their justification seemed to be mutual and I thought about this. Is insanely hard becoming the new very hard?

The answer is YES. Among the levels I've stated above, very few levels actually deserve the rating as they are fringing on being almost impossible, which is what "an insanely hard level" means. Let's go with this example:

When level 276/DW V1 came out on May 28, it was deemed excruciatingly hard and impossible. It was not impossible as, you can get 300 blue candies in a single game IF you are lucky enough in theory. There were no videos of the old version being passed without boosters, but that's just a sign of how hard the level is if you ask me. Level 677 and 383/DW are another examples of an insanely hard level. The list goes on with all the original insanely hard levels which were nerfed.

Let's talk more about the new insanely hard levels. Personally, I haven't seen a single person stuck on 562 for more than two days and no one finds it that hard. The same goes for 377 as well. Both of these are examples of the new era insanely hard levels. When you actually compare these to other insanely hard levels, they don't even stand a chance and therefore should be downgraded.

Of course, everyone has their own "hardest levels" lists, but seriously, if you don't want a new difficulty to come and show that some insanely hard levels are indeed deserving their rank, we need to downgrade a lot of the new ones. It's just like insanely hard is the new very hard!
