The difficulty level, I wish they would keep. The fact that between normal titan and end game actually taught you and improved on playing skills is awesome. If they make the game too easy to cater to those who aren't willing to learn then it will end up dying.

The complaint about needing a trophy every time you complete something large... completing it is a value in itself. You don't hear people talking about how much coil gear they have, you hear them saying what Turns they've completed.

As for the "throw out," the great part of this game is you do want to try everything. Its also nice to have easier raids to take newly 50 fc members on. It has also given groups a chance to go in with unconventional parties to see how far you can push yourselves.

I do find it funny reading forum posts. A lot of the complaints are "ITS ALL BAD" instead of figuring out how to use it to the best of it's ability. Take a step back and try to look at how you can use them to your advantage.
