This is not a fair appraisal. Several people are saying the game is too easy, and they're not prepositioning or using barrels or striking from stealth.

While I don't doubt that some folks do those things, it's not fair to say that they're representative of the crowd that thinks the game is too easy.

It's basically not taking my complaints that the game is too easy seriously. It's saying that I must be metagaming or using exploits or or or...
