Maybe it's just a difference about the word definition "easy"?
Easy -> boring?
easy -> having fun and enjoying it because frustration lvl is low?
easy to understand the game?

I found the game difficult during my 1st game, until I had found out tactics to "ease" my life there. Then I only had fun - but it took me 3 games to actually enjoy some places and not get stressed (Aleroth catacombs and the Wastelands).

So, from your posts I gather this, oBosch: You found the game easy, because you could survive it easily? If so, I don't understand "hate mails" - maybe these gamers had a different definition of the word.
