I dont knwo how your things are set up by create a mutiplier or something cause honestly I didnt find the original hard really and it seems item drop are totally crazy right now ... game is AWESOME but farmville mod kinda kill the epicness and the mood .. If people find it hard it was okay to streamline the original but I guess Difficulty isnt suppose to be the hardest thing to set up ... I think everygame should have a really challenging option and right nwo object are too strong too fast to achieve that ... there is no fear when you 3 shot a boss ..
