Why? I've been hearing complaints about difficulty since I joined in 2008.
An utterly pointless complaint, Whether you're arguing "too hard" OR "too easy"
Difficulty has been almost completely personal preference since 09/15/2009 (Issue 16).
Back when difficulty level was "heroic. tenacious, etc" and the Wiki didn't exist, it was tougher to tune your gaming experience.
Forgive the profanity
But if you want a cake wakm the proper response is "what flavor and do you want comfy shoes?"
If you want "Rocks fall. Everyone dies"?
You got it!
The nastiest, most player hostile experience I ever had was Philotic Knight's AE adventures.
Absolute torture test!
Took an unsuspecting Invuln tank in. They had ALL THE KB, PLUS SOME!
I for bounced around like a blaster so much I HAD TO EXIT THE GAME IN WOW!
