I'd like to see just what percentage of the player population has beaten turns 1-4, because if it's as "faceroll easy" as some of you are making out then that should be everyone right? If I had to take a wild guess from seeing the same people around Wineport then I'd say it's down in the single figures, maybe 5% at most.

SE is trying to cater to people of all abilities, but ultimately that's a very hard thing to do without alienating one or the other. Make it too easy and hardcores will faceroll it, make it too hard and the majority will get frustrated and give up and go elsewhere. Perhaps extreme mode primals will give you more of a challenge, I guess we'll see.
