To be fair, this sad community calls everything artificial difficulty. Raising the difficulty by increasing health and damage of enemies like it's traditionally done in video games. Artificial difficulty. Make an encounter be based around mechanics instead of killing adds. Artificial difficulty. Have adds spawn when fighting a boss. Artificial difficulty. Have you play with people. Artificial difficulty Having to jump. Artificial difficulty. Timer. Artificial difficulty. Equipping a special weapon. Artificial difficulty. The possibility of failing an encounter. Artificial difficulty. That term has lost all meaning, if it ever had one to begin with. More on topic. I don't think a very limited timed contest mode is a big deal. It'll be over in a blink of an eye. Realistically speaking, unless they add revive tokens, this contest mode is going to just be a Master dungeon which would be easily doable, at least easier than raid contest. This is complaining for the sake of complaining at this point.
