Ugh, I resent general statements. I wish people didn't use them, because they aren't fancy and they rarely speak for me. Whether or not difficulty is or is not a bad thing, depends entirely on who you ask. That also includes whether or not a given difficulty level is...difficult. What someone finds easy, another finds challenging. No one is sitting with the ultimate answer out there.
As I have previously stated, I have no issue with the game's current difficulty or claimed lack thereof. And it will never be fair if only one group of players is accommodated, so I propose status quo or only minor adjustments.
