I understand what you mean, but I think it's bullshit, dude.
ahhh well it's good how polite you are for being of a certain age if you've been playing since 2008 thank you.
To counter your argument, I have been analyzing my last 50 games with data.
In several "normal" areas the number of elites was twice as high as when that area was terrorized.
Therefore, I have been able to verify that terror zones have fewer elites than when they are normal zones.
I invite anyone to do it for themselves and write it down and you will see how right I am.
By default, a normal zone has more elite enemies than when that same zone becomes a terror zone.
