I didn't find this difficult, but I agree with the OP. And posts like Ceridwenae's solidify the point. This is easy content for a lot of us. There are players who have trouble with the current difficulty and if it was lowered in difficulty, they would feel accomplished for finishing it. What people are saying when they don't want to keep this sort of person in mind is really that they aren't welcome in "our" game. I for one would like to keep people of this skill level around rather than driving them off, which will eventually lead to a dead game.

Making it more challenging isn't going to make them "git gud". It's going to make them find another game to play.
