Normal vs Hard World Difficulty - no bonuses?

[Novash]

From looking at the in-game description, there seems to be no advantage in setting the world difficult to hard. No mentioning of better loot or more XP, just tougher enemies.

Is this really the case? Or is the description not tell you everything?

the higher the lvl the more xp and higher rolled gear you get

I know this is true for missions and such, but are you sure it is also the case for the world difficulty? It doesn't say anything about it in-game.

I am a solo player, and like to take my time and explore, not in a rush, so I doubt I will ever go heroic, hehe

This is why I was curious if "Hard" loot was better than "Normal" loot. But I have just been playing a little on "Challenge", which I had thought would be more difficult than what it actually turned out to be, so I think I will just stick to "Challenge" for now

But thank you everyone for your replies and advise, much appreciated
