    Bounties are meant to scale to whatever difficulty they dropped, if i am not mistaken they have changed so bounties shouldn't be dropping below your world tier, or that is a feature that should be coming in the next update and i got mixed up. BUT and that's a large BUT, people have mentioned when doing league trials that if they were on heroic and went to do missions on challenging for the league, tha NPC stats would still be heroic despite being listed as challenging, so it's most likely this bug i mentioned that has been happening since WONY

    If your world is set on Heroic, you can't pick easier difficulties for missions. The Bounties are at the difficulty they dropped, but the NPCs are stronger because they are influenced by the world difficulty.

    You can for time trials, but he’s right, if your world is heroic and you choose hard or challenging time trial it keeps heroic difficulty.
