I'm sorry, but millions of other players would disagree. This game is popular because the the way this game is designed, and I hope the developers keep there vision.

Food and potions help with hps and stamina. Some abilities you gain from boss kills will help the player. Using armor and weapons allow for better survival. Bows are great for a killing. When you get a decent shield, you can block troll attacks.

The biggest one is skill...learn how the game works and use tactics to get around problem areas.
