Well, they actually did it, the absolute madmen

This, and the easy modes should be accessible only after you failed normal mode three times. You should have to do the duty as it is intended first, and if you keep failing the game can be like "okay, you tried a few times, lets lower the difficulty so you can get on with the game" instead of presenting easy mode right away.

This would be a compromise that I would be okay with.

If people really wanted to be lazy and skip, then they would just die three times. This is an option now. It's an option I, and most people are fine with.
