Contested Bog is still nonsense I see

[Sgt. YippyYap]

I got back into the game like, a day ago
Last time I played before that was in January of this year, and the reason I left was because of the Contested Bog nonsense. It was sort of rage uninstall lets say

And I see it's still not changed.
It's really meant to be like this

Nothing about it is fun

First of all, you need to pay 100k gold to be able to enter. And sometimes you don't even find the fountain to pay, sometimes it's hidden in a secret room
And the only thing you do by paying 100k is guaranteeing that you will lose those 100k, plus more upon your death. Because you will die in the first room. You are just paying for your death
Enemies are downright stupid. Some teleport on you and take 1/3 of your health in one hit. Some stun you so you can't move OR jump. Some cover half of the room in poison goo, but there are 3 of those enemies in the room so literally the whole room gets covered, even more so since there are rocks that you can't go through (it's not a full room because parts of it are taken away)
They all chunk your health away. But they are also super speedy. And they are also tanky. You can smack them over and over again, but they wont die. Even if you have damage buffs

Level design is also horrible. It's so cluttered. You can't see anything. And then there are arrow towers in a random corner in the room, behind some wall, firing tiny arrows with no sound. In an alternating pattern of + and x. Also, the arrows are poison. So you randomly just get slowed down without ever seeing or hearing what hit you

Why is it like this? Like what's with the incredible spike in difficulty for literally 0 reason. After you also having to pay a heck ton of gold to even enter?

I had a very decent build, Not OP, but it was good, it was getting me through the game very fast. I took quite a few damage reduction blessings, and also blessings that make me do more damage. I had items that buff my damage. I had crowd control via the lighting orb and blade storm. I pre-buffed myself with 4 potions of throw and swing damage, swing speed and extra health. I had a Bishop + rook bomb synergy.
But I still died in literally second room with enemies
It's actually insane

And don't let me start on the boss. I got to the boss twice. And he just has infinite health, but also spawns his little corrupted Pilfer ads that crown you and instantly kill you, because they are also tanky as all hell, they teleport, and one of them can 3 hit kill you from 700 HP

I thought this would be changed, but no. I guess it's meant to be unbalanced and just pure rage inducing nonsense
And I don't know why, because the rest of the game is fun, so I don't know what went wrong there
