If so, your experience is meaningless to the decision making regarding quests and event scenarios included in the mod. The mod may introduce a replacement system that enables gear enhancement in some way, or even player traits, we can't tell atm, but I'm quite certain the maximum player attack power and defences will not approach that of 'God Mith', and the mod will also never introduce potions / brews with stronger effects than the ones currently available in the mod, so excluding any potion and food item that can only be obtained when going to the Overworld / Nether. With this in mind, I can only expect Mevans / the mod team may seriously consider to add more boss-type mechanisms for future expansions, but not soon, and only based on the gameplay features included in the ME world created by the mod itself.

I've seen certain TOS players run through Utumno in a breeze with no hacks. There should be something a bit more difficult. Balrogs in particular are far too easy to kill; such a task should be near-impossible. Something I brought up a while back was giving them more shadow-related abilities and an immunity to arrows and crossbow bolts.
