@orthodox1976 An individual would always choose a lower difficulty level if he/she struggles to advance through the game. Since it was non existant in the original Dark Souls, it meant you could either leave it or accept it as a challenge.
I guess I was just one of those who got spurred by the challenge. Even the pvp system was fair only because all of us played the game at the same difficulty level.
Encouraging newcomers..well you probably are right about it but I am sure most the fans would agree that DS is best as it is.
