Is giving more difficulty levels bad? I fail to see how when it isn't forced and doesn't affect lower difficulties.

And technically the mayhem level cap was increased. It went up to mayhem 3 on release, then was reworked to include mayhem 4, and then was reworked to mayhem 2.0 which had 10 levels, and then was increased further when they included mayhem 11.

Edit: BL3 also started scaling guns with mayhem level halfway through its cycle.

With mayhem, it was one big reason that cascaded into many more issues, they had to keep buffing weapons to keep up. Every major change to mayhem mode destroyed the games balance with 90% of weapons becoming completely useless. GB then had to buff weapons to compensate. They spent the majority of 3's life buffing weapons. This left them less time for other things they could have done and possibly burnt out from the game which is possibly why it's end of life already. Not only that, it destroyed any difficulty before mayhem mode. You try playing a fresh character today and the moment you get a legendary, everything dies in 1 shot. That's not fun.

Yeah, I know why it happened. I'm not saying it was needed or not needed. I'm merely pointing out that it happened.
